In this episode, I sat down with my friend and returning guest, Dr. Tara Vossenkemper, for an honest and wide-ranging conversation about her family’s leap into full-time RV life and how it’s impacted her leadership, practice culture, and mental clarity. We dug deep into the experience of running a group practice remotely, the evolving dynamics of delegating projects vs. tasks, and the personal transformation that can come from letting go—physically and professionally. Tara shared powerful reflections on the visionary-integrator relationship, the emotional labor of leadership, and how EOS continues to shape her team and systems. We also explored what it means to slow down as a driven entrepreneur and how intentional structure (and trust in your people) can help rein in relentless forward momentum.

    About Dr. Tara Vossenkemper

    Tara Vossenkemper, PhD, LPC, is a consultant, podcast host, and speaker who helps group practice owners build thriving teams and cultures (without losing their minds in the process). Known for blending humor with actionable insights, Tara leverages her own experience running a successful mid-size group practice to help other leaders tackle hiring challenges, streamline their systems using EOS, and create workplaces people genuinely love. When she’s not podcasting about practice ownership or facilitating masterminds, you’ll find her traveling the country in an RV, homeschooling her kids, and dreaming of one day planting a chestnut orchard and getting back into homesteading.
