Life doesn't stop being hard just because you decide to grow. There are seasons that take you out at the knees, sucker-punch your heart, and leave you wondering how you're supposed to carry on being a parent, a partner, a leader, or a business owner.

In this conversation, Hannah Chapman CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and Joy Alchemist & author Jan Hoath explore what it really means to choose joy anyway — not as a bypass, but as a way of honoring the full spectrum of your humanity: the grief, the mess, the doubt, the “super sucky” circumstances, and the quiet, ordinary magic of being alive.

Learn about:

Jan's acronym JOY: “Just Own You”

The “deep end of joy” swimming pool metaphor

Why your capacity to be with your own pain directly expands your capacity for real joy

How presence, permission, and celebration change what's possible in your life

How to find joy in the middle of real life — not after everything is fixed

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 Grief—Interruption, Flow of Feelings, Holding, Breaking, and Remembering. Krista shares her 17-month breast cancer journey, the real $60k financial reality, and how choosing to be witnessed expanded her capacity for joy, leadership, and entrepreneurship.

You'll hear:

Why grief requires a witness (and how inviting support is radical self-love)

The difference between breaking from external pressure vs inner growth

How entrepreneurs can metabolize “no's” without shrinking their vision

Money truths: the practical costs of illness, asking for help, and receiving with humility

Moving from self-protection to interdependence—and why that expands joy

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 market's recent pullback, job loss trends, and shelter inflation updates—and shares how to protect your peace (and your portfolio) through smart cash reserves, long-term thinking, and a heart for giving back when the world feels shaky.

You don't have a motivation problem—you have an alignment problem. If the version of you at work isn't the same one at home, in the gym, and with your friends, you'll keep grinding harder without feeling better. 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 veteran, performance coach, and keynote speaker Mycal (“Coach Derz”) Anders—founder of Next Level Performance Consulting—whose motto is “Alignment first, progress always.”

Mycal shares how to unify your identities so you lead at work, love at home, and thrive in your body. We cover detaching from life-or-death urgency, upgrading relationship agreements, filling the post-breakthrough “void” with the next easiest step, and why alignment—not motivation—is the real unlock.

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®, breaks down what the Fed actually signaled, why concentration risk matters (especially with highly appreciated stocks), and how to turn year-end generosity into smart, tax-savvy impact—fast.

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 them toward healing.

In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, is joined by Craig Perra, founder and CEO of The Mindful Habit System — a globally recognized coaching framework that helps men master self-leadership by transforming destructive habits and internal conflict into purpose, discipline, and power. Together, they explore how patterns of hiding, shame, and sabotage can evolve into integrity, authenticity, and genuine freedom.

Learn about:

Craig shares his journey from high-powered attorney to rock bottom, and how that breakdown became the foundation for The Mindful Habit System.

Why “hiding” is at the core of so many destructive patterns — and how telling the truth is the first act of real freedom.

How powerful men often feel small at home, and what that says about emotional safety, resentment, and unmet needs.

The deep connection between lying, fear, and control — and why honesty is a form of self-leadership.

Porn, power, and the pain of secrecy: why so many men sabotage their legacy in silence.

How relationships fall into complementary patterns — the controller and the caretaker — and how awareness breaks the cycle.

The role of self-leadership and parts work (IFS) in learning to love and lead every part of yourself, even the ones you dislike.

Craig's powerful reframe: “All behavior is need-seeking behavior. What you call your problem, I call your solution — you just need a better one.”

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 Juncture Wealth Strategies talk about what's really driving markets during the shutdown, how margin and leveraged ETFs can magnify both gains and losses, and when using borrowed money in your portfolio makes sense—and when it absolutely doesn't.

The U.S. government shutdown has officially hit week three — what that really means for the economy, and why investors are flying blind without key data releases.

CPI data is (finally) back on the calendar — even though most government agencies are still closed, a few analysts got called in just to crunch the numbers.

With record levels of margin debt — over $1.1 trillion — investors are borrowing more money than ever against stock portfolios. We break down what margin really means and why it's a double-edged sword.

What happens when too much of the market is built on borrowed money? A look at how high leverage can make markets rise (and fall) faster than expected.

The hidden risk in leveraged ETFs and why “hot money” — borrowed funds chasing quick profits — can add fuel to market volatility.

Practical insights for investors: when leverage can actually work in your favor, when it can backfire, and how to know the difference.

Why margin loans might make sense for some high-net-worth investors — especially as a tax strategy — but only if used carefully and intentionally.

Why “trust” often feels risky—and how to find safety in your own body first

The difference between forcing connection vs. following a genuine yes

Boundaries that sound loving (and actually deepen intimacy)

Moving from “I've got this alone” to healthy interdependence

Markets are sitting near all-time highs… while the U.S. government is shut down. Tariff headlines are bouncing back and forth, inflation data is frozen, and the Fed's next move could set the tone for the rest of the year — but what does any of that actually mean for your portfolio?

In this week's Investment Friday, Hannah Chapman CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and Brad Haines, CFA, FRM and Chief Investment Officer of Juncture Wealth Strategies break down what's really happening beneath the noise — from Trump's proposed 100% tariffs on China and the ripple effects on rare earth minerals, to how the government shutdown is distorting access to economic data and why that uncertainty fuels short-term market swings. They also share the practical steps investors can take right now: rebalancing portfolios, tax-loss harvesting, and making confident year-end decisions even when the data isn't flowing.

Learn about:

Tariffs are back in the headlines — but what do they really mean for prices, profits, and portfolios?

The government shutdown has frozen official economic data, leaving markets flying a little blind — we share where we're finding reliable information anyway.

Inflation is still running above target, but rents are falling fast. We talk about why housing data takes months to show up in the numbers.

The Fed's next meeting is coming up, and we dig into why the story around a rate cut can matter even more than the cut itself.

It's Q4 — time to check your portfolio mix, take profits where it makes sense, and harvest losses to trim your tax bill.

Mutual funds are about to start paying out capital gains… and we explain how that surprise tax bill sneaks up on investors every year.

How patience, process, and a clear plan help you make smart decisions, even when headlines are loud and data is scarce.
