The Owner's Room: When Clarity Isn't Enough (And You Still Feel Stuck)
In this special Owner’s Room episode of the Culture Focused Practice podcast, Dr. Tara Vossenkemper cracks open the weird liminal space where everything in your business is running smoothly—and you still feel off. You’ve implemented EOS. Your team’s solid. Systems are humming. And yet… the spark? Nowhere to be found.
Tara riffs candidly on her own experience navigating the emotional terrain of clarity without momentum, what it means when you’re craving something new even though nothing is “wrong,” and why feeling stuck doesn’t necessarily mean something’s broken. She explores the difference between clarity and certainty, how momentum plays into leadership identity, and what to do when you’re tempted to blow it all up just for the sake of feeling something again.
This one’s for the builders, the founders, the visionaries who hit the lull after the launch. You’re not alone, and this episode is your permission slip to name what’s happening out loud.
