Are you secretly standing in your own way? In this fiery episode, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy exposes the hidden ways women in dentistry and all high achievers sabotage their own success without even realizing it. From guilt and worry to that quiet fear of having “too much,” she reveals what’s really behind your stalled momentum and how awareness alone can change everything. If you’ve ever felt like you hit a glass ceiling in your happiness, career, or bank account, this conversation will shake your limits and light a fire under your potential. Stop waiting for permission, hit play, and cash the check on your joy.
