About this episode

Chasing the next win is second nature—especially in dentistry. In this heartfelt episode of The Business of Happiness podcast, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy invites us to pause and question the constant pressure to achieve more. Reflecting on a transformative retreat in the Appalachian Mountains, she shares how sound healing and true presence can shift your experience—not just in dentistry, but in life. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the “not enough” loop, this episode is the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.
