Discovering your true self is the greatest gift you can give yourself. In this powerful episode of The Business of Happiness podcast, Dr. Tarryn McCarthy speaks directly to women in dentistry with a heartfelt message of gratitude—and a reminder that you’re allowed to ask, “What do I want?” She reframes the idea of a midlife crisis as a season of curiosity and encourages you to give yourself permission to change, grow, and rediscover who you truly are. You don’t need to throw everything away to start fresh—you just need time, space, and grace.
