About this episode

In today’s heartfelt episode of The Business of Happiness podcast, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy speaks directly to high-achieving women—especially dental moms—who are tired of pretending they’re fine. She shares a powerful story that reminds us we don’t have to prove our strength by suppressing our struggles. You’ll hear an emotional yet empowering message about releasing guilt, reclaiming your humanity, and finally allowing yourself to exhale. If you’ve been pushing through exhaustion and wondering if there’s another way, this episode is for you.

(10:37) You’ve been surviving a broken system
(11:18) A breathwork moment to reset
(13:52) Invitation to Exhale Masterclass on May 7
(15:52) You don’t have to earn your rest
