Structure doesn’t have to mean micromanagement, rigidity, or soul-sucking spreadsheets.

In this episode of the Culture Focused Practice podcast, Dr. Tara Vossenkemper unpacks how EOS (the Entrepreneurial Operating System) actually creates freedom, not constraint, when it’s done well.

We’re busting myths about “structure = control,” walking through the difference between therapist brain and leadership brain, and showing how clarity and consistency make space for trust, autonomy, and real-deal psychological safety. If you’re tired of repeating yourself, reacting to every fire, or feeling like the office toilet for everyone’s emotional sh*t — this one’s for you.
