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.

#387 - My Coach Fired Me and It Was One of The Biggest Lessons of My Life
You can’t serve from an empty soul. In this episode, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy reveals the real cost of constantly putting others first and the moment that forced her to finally stop. You’ll hear the raw truth behind burnout, people-pleasing, and the myth of “having it all together,” and discover the mindset shift that turns exhaustion into empowerment. This isn’t about balance, it’s about bravery. It’s time to trade busy for boundaries, and chaos for clarity. Your happiness isn’t a luxury; it’s your leadership.
