Dive into finding that balance between your own ambitions and family life with this Halloween episode of No Wine Left Behind. We're excited to have freelance writer and author Julee Balko joining us. Julee’s story is all about the journey from being a busy mom of three to championing self-care. Her latest book, The Me List, was born from her "aha" moment about prioritizing herself—even when life gets chaotic with kids.

Julee shares how her experiences shape the female characters and complex family dynamics in her work, including a new project with a neurodivergent character inspired by her daughter. We talk about how literature connects us, sparks growth, and lets us dive into real-life challenges. Julee opens up about how her kids’ reactions to her work deepen her view of motherhood, plus how reader feedback has inspired her to try new things herself.

Together, we’ll talk boundaries, self-care, and the ways Julee's “me list” can help you find empowerment and balance, especially for families navigating dysfunction or addiction.
