      On today’s episode of the Just DeW It podcast, Anne Duffy is joined by Tarryn MacCarthy, DMD. Dr. MacCarthy is the host of The Business of Happiness podcast, and is a happiness and prosperity coach for high-achieving women and men in dentistry.

      Anne and Dr. MacCarthy discuss how happiness is a muscle that needs training just like any other, and suggest that if you work on positivity, it can be easier to achieve. Dr. MacCarthy adds that it’s also important to allow the sad or negative feelings to show, because if you numb one feeling, you end up dulling them all.       

     The two talk about the levels of emotions, and the importance of allowing both yourself and others to feel and process each one. Dr. MacCarthy also suggests how to recognize signs that it’s time to take a break instead of working past your limit, and demonstrates the practice of alternate nostril breathing to optimize those breaks.

     Deneen explains that it’s okay to prioritize the things that mean a lot to you instead of constantly grinding, and explains her method of doing so. Finally, she and Anne agree that the best thing to do when struggling with self doubt is to reach out and ask for help (like calling a DeW!).

In this episode of the Just DeW It podcast, Anne Duffy is joined by Dr. Aman Kaur. Dr. Kaur is the founder of Women in DSO®, an organization created to empower women in the DSO (Dental Service Organization) space and grow future women leaders of the industry.

Dr. Kaur explains how she started Women in DSO® because she was feeling frustrated with that fact that, although she saw women all around her in the dental industry, she never saw them in higher up or powerful positions. She explains how her goal is not to change the industry, but to make it more complete and well rounded.

Dr. Kaur and Anne talk about the difference between letting a problem define you vs changing the trajectory of your life by overcoming that obstacle and reaching for new opportunities. Dr. Kaur explains how she helps empower women, starting with the knowledge that in order to take care of others, you must take care of yourself first.

In this episode of the Just DeW It podcast, Anne Duffy is joined by Dr. Laura Brenner. Dr. Brenner owns Lolabees, a career coaching business that seeks to help dental professionals figure out if dentistry is right for them.

After 10 years working as a dentist, Dr. Laura Brenner knew she had to change careers. She didn’t know the word for it at the time, but what she was experiencing is called “burnout.” When her blog post, “10 Reasons Your Dentist Probably Hates You Too” went viral in 2011, she knew she wasn’t alone.

Anne and Dr. Brenner discuss that experience, and the fact that it is okay to realize that dentistry is not the right career path for you. They talk about the importance of prioritizing personal development, and finding things to do that light you up. Additionally, Dr. Brenner explains the origin of her company name, “Lolabees.”
