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
#396 - The ONLY Way To Feel Appreciated
Host Dr. Tarryn McCarthy speaks to high-achieving women in healthcare and dentistry who give endlessly, lead powerfully, and still feel unseen. If you are successful, capable, and driven, yet quietly exhausted from carrying it all, this episode meets you right where you are and names the tension many women feel but rarely say out loud.
Dr. Tarryn shines a light on the pressure to prove, the desire to be appreciated, and the belief that fulfillment will come once others finally recognize your effort. With clarity and heart, she invites a shift in how worth, happiness, and validation are defined as you step into a new season.
If you are ready to stop chasing approval and start standing fully in your value, press play and choose yourself without apology.
