Show Notes
Change begins softer. In this episode, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy offers a powerful reminder for high-achieving healthcare professionals and women in dentistry carrying stress, pressure, and constant change. When something no longer feels right in your practice, body, relationships, team, or life, it is easy to meet that moment with shame, fear, or self-judgment. But what if that same moment could become the start of something better?
Through honest stories from hiking, coaching, family life, and dental practice leadership, Dr. Tarryn shows how the lens you choose can shape what happens next. This episode brings a fresh look at burnout, leadership stress, work-life balance, and personal growth with more compassion, courage, and self-trust. Choose the lens that does not just move you forward, but makes you lighter as you rise.
