"Media Sass Mom" Deb Balino Writer, Musican Mom S2E11 Mindful Artist Podcast Andrew Velázquez
Deb Balino is the founder and voice behind Sass & Smalls as a writer, storyteller, and content creator, based out of Vancouver Island, BC. She is also the host of her podcast, Sass & Small Talk - speaking on topics about parenthood, womanhood, entrepreneurship, mental health, overwhelm & burnout, as it relates to finding ones’ way back to their creative selves and essentially getting one’s “sass” back.
Coming from a creatively colourful history of vocal performance on stage and in studio, working in network television programming in Hollywood for primetime, daytime, and live programming (the Price is Right, the Grammys, Super Bowl) - you may catch one of her seasonal appearances as a singer on The Young and the Restless, or hear her over a vocal track on a Hallmark holiday romcom, or on one of the primetime TV teasers for CSI, NCIS, The Amazing Race, & Big Brother, dabbling in the world of Voice Over promotions, and later, entering Kid’s Fashion based out of New York, as a stylist and promotional writer for Children’s luxury brands, inspired by the birth of her first daughter.
Eventually she made the ultimate shift from big city girl to full time Mama Mode, and moved back home to Canada to be closer to family.
She utilizes her corner of the web through video storytelling, writing, and podcasting to share her own personal journey of navigating life as a caregiver to aging parents, and a homeschool mom of 2 in a neurodivergent family. Through her lens, she gives her listeners and readers, a peek into the reality of her life where she hopes to inspire other overwhelmed parents and caregivers, underwhelmed by a lack of artistic stimulation/ creativity. Through her own personal experience of burnout, loss & grief after 5 years of late heartbreaking pregnancy losses, and the many relatable struggles that go hand in hand with making the shift from a vibrant career, to family life and caregiving - she shares her story and spiritual journey to others who simply want to find their way back to themselves again. Without the initial intention of doing so, life imitated art. Through the joys and trials of parenthood, she found a way to bring creativity back into her life as a mom - by using her voice (like she always did).
Deb’s stories, insights, and creative works have been featured in publications, such as BBC News, Yahoo Style, Huffington Post, Yummy Mummy Club, and a variety of campaigns and live forums aimed at improving health care systems across Canada.
