In this Owner’s Room episode of the Culture Focused Practice Podcast, Dr. Tara Vossenkemper gets honest about what it feels like to outgrow the very thing you built. When your practice is stable—team’s solid, systems are flowing, fires are out—but something inside you feels off... this one's for you.

Tara explores the identity shift that happens when your leadership evolves, the weird guilt around handing off financial control, and the tension between staying put and pursuing fulfillment.

She unpacks her own internal tug-of-war (big girl Tara vs. shame-fueled small part), shares reflections on how she handles change, and ends with a real-world scenario of what to do when your long-time team member no longer fits.

If you’re stuck in the “it’s fine, but I’m not lit up anymore” limbo, you are so not alone.
