Adding is our natural default when it comes to solving problems and striving to improve our lives. We add organizers to manage clutter. We add diet plans to lose weight. We add programs to help struggling students. And we add meetings to implement the programs.
What if real empowerment comes not from adding…but from subtracting?
In this episode of the Empowered Educator Mom podcast, I share why we don't typically consider subtraction, why busyness has become a sneaky badge of honor, and how doing less allows you to create more value in your life. You’ll hear stories, research insights, and practical examples you can try right away to simplify your life at home and at work.
Subtraction isn’t laziness or giving up. It’s a powerful strategy for replenishing energy and decreasing stress and burnout.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
