In this episode of the Culture Focused Practice Podcast, Dr. Tara Vossenkemper unpacks the gut-punch of realizing that rest doesn’t mean you’ve stopped growing.
It just means you’re in integration mode — and, spoiler alert, integration might be the hardest damn thing you do as a leader. We dive into why rest feels so itchy, what cultural narratives are feeding your resistance, and the sneaky emotional labor no one talks about when the hustle stops.
You’ll get tangible signs that you’re resisting rest (even when you think you’re just “strategizing”), and Tara ends with three prompts to help you unravel your weird-ass relationship with rest.
