In this episode of The Business of Happiness podcast, Dr. Tarryn McCarthy challenges high-achieving women in dentistry to rethink the labels they wear. From “doctor” and “mom” to “hard worker” and “type A,” these titles may have fueled your success—but are they now holding you back? Dr. Tarryn shares personal stories, powerful questions, and a fresh perspective on what it means to grow, evolve, and choose from a place of freedom rather than expectation. If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly proving yourself, this episode will remind you that you are so much more than your titles.
