In today’s episode of The Business of Happiness, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy opens up about her deeply personal journey through dentistry, burnout, and the relentless pursuit of happiness. From chasing titles and certifications to building a business that didn’t feel aligned, she learned that real joy doesn’t come from doing more, but from knowing and loving yourself more. If you’ve ever felt stuck on the hamster wheel of achievement, this story will remind you that permission to pause, rest, and honor your truth might be the missing piece.
