What if gratitude is actually keeping you small?
In this Thanksgiving episode of The Business of Happiness, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy explains how toxic gratitude and high-achiever conditioning keep women in dentistry and healthcare from asking for rest, support, or something better. She reveals the subtle ways “just be thankful” turns into burnout, self-silencing, and settling for less than you want. With clear examples and gentle guidance, Dr. Tarryn shows what real gratitude looks like: receiving help, honoring your needs, and letting yourself want more without guilt.
If you’re tired, overwhelmed, or craving a life that feels like yours again, this conversation will help you reconnect with what you truly need.
