The Myth of Balance — Why Founders Need Seasons, Not Symmetry

For years, founders have been told to chase balance — between work and home, ambition and presence, strategy and stillness. But balance the way we’ve been taught is a trap.

In this episode of Ops Uncovered, Michelle shares why balance was never the goal — and how understanding your season is the real key to sustainable growth.

From her own experience as a mother, wife, and founder, Michelle reveals how our energy, focus, and leadership evolve through different seasons — and why trying to keep everything “even” only creates exhaustion and guilt.

You’ll hear:

• Why balance creates pressure instead of peace
• How to recognize the season you’re actually in (and lead from it)
• What it looks like to build systems that move with you, not against you
• Why operations become sacred when they protect your capacity through change

If you’ve been striving for harmony that never quite arrives, this episode will remind you:

You don’t need symmetry. You need rhythm.

Because sustainability isn’t about doing everything at once — it’s about aligning your business with the season you’re in.
