Are your boundaries guarding your peace, or quietly draining your spark? In today’s episode, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy shares the untold story of building a dental practice while cradling newborns and how burnout whispered its first warnings. Through gentle wisdom and lived experience, she reveals that boundaries aren’t walls. They are bridges to clarity, compassion, and self-respect. Discover how to honor your own pace, protect your energy, and lead with intention. Whether you own the practice or work within one, this conversation is a soft invitation to come home to yourself.
