Floretta Thornton-Reid arrived at the O2 Studios in Pompano Beach, Fla., and was whisked to the wardrobe and hair and makeup departments before heading to the stage where the Lifetime TV network films its one-hour morning show, "The Balancing Act."

 

Thornton-Reid, executive director of the Reading Recovery program in Georgia State University's College of Education, joined "Balancing Act" hosts Danielle Knox and Kristy Villa in a segment on reading for an episode that airs Nov. 16.

 

"It's an interesting process," she said of the filming. "You just don't realize how much goes into filming for a TV show until you do it."

 

Prior to her trip to the studios in August, she spoke with producers over the phone about the specific areas they planned to cover on the show, which designs its segments around offering "new ways for women to achieve success in all areas of their lives," according to the show's website.
