Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy

Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy is The Transformational Mindset and Happiness Coach for Dental Professionals.

Host of The Business of Happiness Podcast, she is an Orthodontist, Author, Keynote Speaker, Dental Life Coach, and Rapid Transformational Therapist.

After only 7 years of clinical orthodontics and solo practice ownership, Tarryn experienced a breakdown and severe clinical burnout. She fire sold her practice, fled the state, and literally and figuratively ran from everything in her life. The one thing she couldn’t run from was herself.

What followed was a journey of reclamation of the self that she had disconnected from decades earlier. 5 years later she would go on to open a scratch-start practice and grow it to be the largest Invisalign practice in her state. After 23 years in clinical dentistry she now coaches other dentists on reconnecting to themselves in order to step into their true power.

In her unparalleled program, “Radical Happiness”, she teaches how to harness the power within. Using her expertise in neurolinguistic programming, nervous system regulation, and subconscious reprogramming, Tarryn guides clinicians and leaders with the tools to rediscover their happiness in dentistry and in life, and to realize even greater success and empowerment than they ever imagined.

Innovator Insights

• Nervous System Regulation: Incorporate techniques like deep breathing exercises, yoga, and mindfulness into your daily routine to help regulate your nervous system, reduce stress, and maintain a sense of calm.

• Embrace Vulnerability and Authenticity: Be open about your struggles and fears, both with yourself and others. Embracing vulnerability can lead to deeper connections and a more authentic life experience.

• Trust the Process: Accept that personal growth and transformation are gradual processes. Trust in your journey, even during uncomfortable or challenging times, and recognize that these moments are essential for growth.

• Reframe Endings as New Beginnings: Instead of fearing endings, view them as opportunities for new beginnings. Letting go of what no longer serves you creates space for fresh experiences and growth.

• Prioritize Mindset Work: Regularly engage in mindset practices such as meditation, positive affirmations, and reflective journaling to shift negative thought patterns and build a more positive, resilient outlook.
