Expansive CEO

This week was a great reminder of how quickly markets can move on headlines alone—without anything fundamentally changing underneath. We saw volatility driven by political rhetoric, followed by an equally fast recovery once that noise settled back down. In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, helps you understand why this kind of movement doesn't mean something is &l...

Some parts of Human Design and Gene Keys hit a nerve fast—especially when the language feels intense or “unflattering.” This month on the Expansive CEO Podcast, Hannah and Lauren are unpacking what's crunchy: the parts of your design that can trigger resistance, shame, or “Wait… why me?!” In this episode, they pick up where last week left off and dive into one...

There's a lot of noise right now—and it can hijack investor decision-making.

Some parts of Human Design and Gene Keys feel… crunchy. You read the original transmission, the channel descriptions, the line language—and something in you goes: “Ew. I don't want that. I'm not that.” And if you're not careful, that reaction can quietly turn into self-rejection… which blocks the very transformation you're here for. In this episode, Hannah Chapman,...

In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® sits down...

If you felt like 2025 had “way too many headlines” for markets to be up… you're not imagining it. Between rate cuts, policy whiplash, and nonstop AI hot takes, it would've been easy to assume this was the year something finally cracked. And yet—stocks held up, bonds showed up, and a lot of long-term investors were rewarded for staying steady. In this episode, Hannah Chapma...

Visibility doesn't require louder marketing, better slides, or a perfectly memorized script. What actually moves people—on stage, on camera, or in a room—is embodiment. And most entrepreneurs were never taught how to access that, especially when nerves, pressure, or people-pleasing kick in. In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, sits down with international ke...

Interest rates are drifting lower, jobs data keeps getting revised, AI stocks are whipping around on every earnings call, and gold is suddenly back at all-time highs.

There's a lot of noise right now a...

Money, work, and wealth-building are changing faster than most people can process, and a lot of the old “rules” for career and business no longer apply.

We'r...

But beneath the hype, the memes, and the overnight-millionaire stories, there's a deeper conversation to be had about what cryptocurrency actually is, what blockchain technology does, and how to navigate a lands...

So many brilliant entrepreneurs are maxed out, fully booked, and still feel like they're leaving impact (and income) on the table. You know your work changes lives, but there are only so many 1:1 calls you can take and only so many hours you can sell. Add AI into the mix — with everyone shouting that “everything is changing” — and it's easy to freeze, overthink, or never ac...

What if a 5% pullback in the market wasn't a warning sign…but just the cost of long-term growth? In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and Brad Haines, CFA, FRM and Chief Investment Officer of Juncture Wealth Strategies unpack recent volatility, why it feels so uncomfortable in the moment, and how to navigate it without derailing your financial plan.

In this conversation, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®,...

Life doesn't stop being hard just because you decide to grow.

What if grief isn't just the devastating losses—but the everyday interruptions that ask us to soften, feel, and be witnessed? When we practice holding grief in the small moments, we're more ready for the big ones. And when we let others in to see us, receiving support becomes radical self-love. In this conversation, Hannah and guest Krista Powers reframe grief through Krista's Five Powers of...

The markets are wobbling again—stocks pulling back, layoffs stacking up, and the Fed hinting at possible rate cuts. But underneath the noise, something powerful is shifting: inflation is easing, shelter inflation is dropping, and investors are asking how to stay grounded when the data feels uncertain. In this Investment Friday, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® breaks down the m...

You don't have a motivation problem—you have an alignment problem.

Today's guest shows how to collapse that gap—so progress actually feels like power. In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, talks with Marine Corps vet...

Uncertainty is back on center stage. The Fed cut rates by 0.25%—but Powell wouldn't commit to another cut in December. Markets wobbled, leadership remains concentrated in the mega-caps, and headlines about layoffs and a potential SNAP funding gap raise real-world questions about how money flows… and how we can help. In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, brea...

We all have patterns — ways of thinking, reacting, or hiding that shape our lives, our relationships, and even our legacy. But what happens when those patterns become self-destructive? When success on the outside hides a quiet collapse on the inside? This conversation goes straight into the heart of how we can face the parts of ourselves we've tried hardest to avoid — and finally lead...

The markets are climbing, the government is still shut down, and the data we usually rely on just isn't coming in. So how do investors make smart decisions when the information pipeline has gone dark—and what does record leverage in the system mean for the months ahead? In this podcast, Hannah Chapman CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and Brad Haines, CFA, FRM and Chief Investment Officer of Ju...
