The Business Of Happiness
When you feel good, you do good. In business and in life, we can do better and have a greater impact on the lives of others when we align our intentions and our actions with inner fulfillment. The Business of Happiness Podcast ignites the conversation of redefining our modern definition of success and how to find happiness in our work and, ultimately, in our lives. I am Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy, and in the first 2 decades of my career, I reveled in culturally recognizable success and drowned myself in personal turmoil and depression. Since then, I have embarked on a quest for greater purpose and joy in business and in life. Welcome to the conversation as each week we discuss together, and with successful business owners and leaders, how to strive for happiness. Together we will adventure to discover the secrets to finding true purpose and impact and to redefine our understanding of success. This is The Business of Happiness.
The Business Of Happiness
#356 - You Are SO Much More Than Your White Coat
In this episode of The Business of Happiness podcast, Dr. Tarryn McCarthy challenges high-achieving women in dentistry to rethink the labels they wear. From “doctor” and “mom” to “hard worker” and “type A,” these titles may have fueled your success—but are they now holding you back? Dr. Tarryn shares personal stories, powerful questions, and a fresh perspective on what it means to grow, evolve, and choose from a place of freedom rather than expectation. If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly proving yourself, this episode will remind you that you are so much more than your titles.
