Show Notes
In this episode of The Business of Happiness, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy offers a powerful new way for dentists, doctors, and high-achieving healthcare professionals to think about wealth. Beyond income, practice growth, and financial freedom, she asks what truly makes a life feel rich.
Through a personal story and honest reflections from her years in dentistry, Dr. Tarryn shares why success can sometimes feel like pressure, how “golden handcuffs” can limit freedom, and why time, health, relationships, creativity, and choice may matter more than the next number in your bank account. This episode is a thoughtful reset for anyone who wants more happiness, fulfillment, and freedom without walking away from ambition.
