    #405 - Shame’s Slippery Slope

    Host Dr. Tarryn McCarthy speaks directly to high-achieving healthcare professionals and dedicated women in dentistry who are used to pushing themselves harder than anyone else ever could. The same drive that builds successful careers often brings constant self-criticism, quiet guilt, and the pressure to always do more. She offers a perspective that reframes how high performers think about perfection, leadership, and the voice inside their own head. When that internal dialogue shifts, confidence, energy, and fulfillment begin to change with it. This episode is for the provider who shows up for everyone else but rarely extends that same grace to herself. Press play and politely inform your inner critic it is no longer running the practice. Show notes: (1:41) Why guilt and shame hurt growth (3:02) Self-criticism in dentistry and medicine (5:05) How perfectionism creates self-shame (8:33) Shame drains confidence and energy (13:07) Two leaders with different self-talk (19:12) Awareness and self-compassion practice (20:47) Outro ________________ IMPORTANT LINKS: Connect with Dr. MacCarthy: Email: tarryn@drtarrynmaccarthy.com Book a call with Tarryn: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/happiness-and-prosperity-strategy-call Unlock your inner peace and reclaim joy in your profession with the Nervous System Regulation For Dentists Course: https://www.thebizofhappiness.com/calm Please join my Facebook group, Business Of Happiness Hive, so we can all take this journey to find fulfillment and happiness together.
