In this episode of The Business of Happiness, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy speaks to women in dentistry and healthcare who feel stuck in endless responsibility yet crave freedom, happiness, and fulfillment. You’ll hear why so many high-achievers silence their dreams, how that choice impacts every part of life, and why following even the smallest desire can transform not only you but everyone around you. Your time isn’t “someday.” It’s now. Say yes to yourself and watch what happens next.
