- Education
When you feel good, you do good. In business and in life, we can do better and have a greater impact on the lives of others when we align our intentions and our actions with inner fulfillment. The Business of Happiness Podcast ignites the conversation of redefining our modern definition of success and how to find happiness in our work and, ultimately, in our lives. I am Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy, and in the first 2 decades of my career, I reveled in culturally recognizable success and drowned myself in personal turmoil and depression. Since then, I have embarked on a quest for greater purpose and joy in business and in life. Welcome to the conversation as each week we discuss together, and with successful business owners and leaders, how to strive for happiness. Together we will adventure to discover the secrets to finding true purpose and impact and to redefine our understanding of success. This is The Business of Happiness.

#307 - This Ending Is Just The Beginning
Embracing the end of one chapter allows us to open ourselves up to endless possibilities. In this episode, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy talks about moments of transition that open opportunities for us to grow, evolve, and discover new aspects of ourselves that we may have never known existed. As we release our grip on the past and welcome the future with open arms, we create space for transformation and renewal. Through this process, we begin to understand the beauty and power of endings as they pave the way for new beginnings to unfold.
