What if the adventure you're craving doesn't require more... but less?
In this solo episode of Manders Mindset, I dive into a personal reflection sparked by the book Subtract by Leidy Klotz, a gift from my friend, and guest on last week's episode, Glen Van Peski. This read has already begun shifting how I think, move, and breathe, even though I’m only a few chapters in. Through the lens of my own mindset work and recent personal experiences, I share how subtraction, letting go instead of piling on can be a powerful tool for growth, healing, and clarity.
Join me as I unpack some first takeaways from Subtract, explore what it means to create space by removing instead of adding, and invite you into a gentle moment of pause to experience the power of intentional release.
Listeners Will Discover:
🌿 Why our brains default to adding, and how shifting to subtracting can be transformational
🧘♀️ How a moment of subtraction can lead to clarity, space, and alignment
✨ A guided reflection to practice letting go ~ mentally, emotionally, & physically
