// Subtract to Succeed — How Doing Less Can Transform Your Life with Nell Derick Debevoise Dewey

What if growth isn’t about adding more, but about letting something go?

In this episode, Nell Derick Debevoise Dewey shares what happens when a heart-based, aligned career (literally) drifts out of its lane, and why “getting back to normal” isn’t always the goal.

We dig into gold-star chasing, inherited “shoulds,” and small experiments in self-knowledge that help you notice what’s draining your energy. And we talk about the ripple effects of intentional subtraction, how letting go can change the way you show up at work, in leadership, and at home.

This conversation is a permission slip to stop adding by default and start asking a more compassionate question: What can I release so I can live and lead more intentionally? 💛
