In this episode of The Business of Happiness, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy reminds high-achieving healthcare professionals and women in dentistry that thriving isn’t found in waiting for the perfect moment; it’s born in the courage to choose. Through tender stories and real-life lessons, she reveals how honesty with our hearts, brave decisions, and intentional action turn survival into fulfillment. If a dream, a change, or a new chapter has been waiting on “someday,” let this be your reminder: the time to begin is now.
