Your Money Stories Are Making Business Decisions for You

What happens when a money story you learned decades ago quietly walks into a pricing conversation with you? In this episode of the Expansive CEO Podcast, Hannah Chapman and Lauren Ammon continue their conversation about changing relationships—this time focusing on one of the most important relationships in your life: your relationship with money. Because becoming aware of a money pattern isn't enough to change it. Eventually, life will give you an opportunity to repeat the old pattern or make a different choice. And that's where the real work begins. Explore: The Expansive CEO framework of Awareness → Acceptance → Aligned Action Why skipping acceptance can turn "different action" into another version of the same old pattern How childhood money stories continue showing up in business decisions Why a "just enough" money story can lead to chronic underpricing The connection between pricing, rejection, worth, and the Human Design Ego/Will Center How fear of being alone can become a money story Why more revenue doesn't necessarily create financial security The hidden cost of discounting before anyone has even said no Why you have to become comfortable with the discomfort of making a different choice How Human Design illustrates the importance of slowing down Why your relationship with money deserves to be treated as a primary relationship Join us on Substack: https://expansiveceo.substack.com/ Ready to work with a fiduciary CFP to build your long-term wealth strategy?

Why Great Relationships Require Different Choices

Relationships don't change by accident. Whether it's your spouse, business partner, children, or even your relationship with yourself, lasting transformation begins with one simple question: What if the problem isn't the other person... but the way you're relating to their energy? In this episode, Hannah and Lauren explore how Human Design offers a powerful framework for understanding relationship dynamics—not to label or fix people, but to cultivate greater awareness, compassion, and cooperation. Through personal stories, client examples, and practical insights, they unpack how our unique energetic blueprints shape the way we communicate, parent, partner, and navigate conflict. In This Episode Why every relationship requires two whole people—not two halves Understanding the energy you bring into every room How Human Design can illuminate relationship friction The difference between compromise and collaboration Parenting through awareness instead of old wounds Emotional authority and why difficult conversations need time Why healthy relationships require different choices—not different people The role of self-awareness in building stronger partnerships An introduction to the new Expansive CEO Substack community and Money Story Meditations Join us on Substack: https://expansiveceo.substack.com/ Ready to work with a fiduciary CFP to build your long-term wealth strategy?

No One Prepares You for the Financial Side of Divorce, Death & Inheritance

Divorce, death, and inheritance are some of life's biggest transitions—and yet almost no one teaches us how to prepare for them. In this episode of the Expansive CEO Podcast, Hannah Chapman and Lauren Ammon explore the emotional and financial realities that accompany major life events.

Drawing from Hannah's two decades as a financial planner and Lauren's personal experience navigating divorce and the loss of her brother-in-law, this conversation goes far beyond legal documents and financial checklists. In This Episode Why most people avoid conversations about death and divorce The emotional cost of waiting too long to make financial plans How money stories influence major life decisions The importance of estate planning before you think you need it Why every business owner needs a succession plan Prenuptial agreements and why they deserve a second look Financial planning during divorce How a financial advisor can advocate during difficult transitions Estate planning mistakes that create unnecessary stress Trusts, wills, powers of attorney, and beneficiary designations The emotional side of inheritance Women, financial independence, and changing societal norms The connection between Expansive CEO and X² Wealth Planning The Significant Wealth Events Guide ✨ Get the Guide to Navigating Windfalls: https://www.x2wealthplanning.com/significant-wealth-events Join us on Substack: https://expansiveceo.substack.com/ Ready to work with a fiduciary CFP to build your long-term wealth strategy?

What If We're Wrong About Human Design?

What happens when you question something you deeply believe in? In this episode of the Expansive CEO Podcast, Hannah and Lauren explore a question sparked by Hannah's husband during their 20th wedding anniversary trip: "Do you think you might be wrong about something?" That question opened the door to a profound conversation about Human Design, Gene Keys, self-discovery, parenting, relationships, healing, and what truly matters. Rather than defending Human Design, Hannah and Lauren ask a different question: What if we're wrong? And perhaps more importantly: Would it change the impact it has had on our lives? The conversation explores how Human Design has helped both of them develop greater self-acceptance, self-compassion, and understanding of others—even if someone never fully "believes" in the system itself. Explore: What if Human Design isn't real? Why self-love matters more than certainty Understanding yourself through Human Design The freedom of embracing your limitations Individuality vs comparison Parenting children as unique individuals Human Design and neurodiversity Using Human Design as a practical tool Self-acceptance and personal growth The power of curiosity over judgment The difference between being right and being helpful ✨ Get your own Money Story Cards!

Human Design, Money Stories & Financial Abundance

What if the problem isn't your mindset? What if the real issue is the subconscious money story running underneath it? In this episode of the Expansive CEO Podcast, Hannah Chapman and Lauren Ammon explore why the popular scarcity vs abundance conversation is far more nuanced than most coaches admit. They unpack the difference between mindset and what Lauren calls "bodyset," the subconscious patterns that shape our relationship with money, worthiness, safety, and receiving. Together they discuss: Why affirmations often fail to create lasting change The role of subconscious money stories Human Design and open-center conditioning The bridge between scarcity and abundance Why sufficiency matters more than positivity Treating money as a relationship How childhood experiences shape financial behaviors The power of awareness and small shifts Real-life examples of money stories in action How entrepreneurs can begin creating healthier relationships with money This episode is packed with practical insights, personal stories, Human Design wisdom, and powerful questions to help you uncover the patterns influencing your financial life. If you've ever wondered why mindset work alone hasn't created the results you want, this conversation may provide the missing piece. ✨ Get your own Money Story Cards!
