Expansive CEO

What if your business has its own unique energy?

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

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.

What if your biggest financial challenge isn't your income, investments, or business strategy?

What if it's a story you've been carrying for decades without realizing it?

In this episode of the Expansive CEO Podcast, Hannah Chapman and Lauren Ammon celebrate the launch of Money Story Cards and dive deep into the hidden beliefs, emotional conditioning, and Human Design patterns that shape our relationship with money.

The conversation explores how childhood experiences, family dynamics, and unconscious conditioning create lifelong money stories—and how awareness becomes the gateway to freedom. Through personal stories, client experiences, and Human Design insights, Hannah and Lauren reveal why the goal isn't to eliminate every emotional "wiggle," but to recognize patterns with greater awareness and compassion.

They also discuss how different Human Design centers influence our relationship with money, worthiness, conflict, direction, and self-expression, and why healing your money story changes far more than your bank account.

In this episode:

Why most people have never had meaningful conversations about money

How awareness creates transformation

The connection between Human Design and money stories

Why emotional triggers around money often begin in childhood

The importance of asking better questions

Sales conversations and financial objections

The difference between curiosity and defensiveness

How entrepreneurs unconsciously absorb client money stories

What if your relationship with money was shaped long before you ever earned your first dollar?

In this episode of the Expansive CEO Podcast, Hannah and Lauren explore the hidden emotional patterns, nervous system responses, and childhood conditioning that shape our relationship with money — and ultimately impact our businesses, relationships, decisions, and sense of worth.

This conversation dives into:
✨ Money stories and subconscious financial conditioning
✨ Childhood experiences that shape spending and saving patterns
✨ Nervous system responses around money
✨ Hiding, guilt, over-giving, and fear of asking for money
✨ Human Design and emotional patterns around worthiness
✨ Generational money conditioning
✨ Entrepreneurship and emotional triggers
✨ Healing financial shame and self-sabotage
✨ Parenting and interrupting unhealthy money patterns
✨ Why awareness changes everything

Hannah shares the origin story of her Money Story Meditation work and explains how emotional responses around money often live in the body — not just the mind. Lauren opens up vulnerably about her own relationship with money, visibility, worthiness, and learning to feel safe looking directly at finances.

Together, they unpack how Human Design, emotional awareness, and conscious financial work can help entrepreneurs stop operating from fear, shame, and survival mode — and instead build a more grounded, prosperous relationship with money.

This episode is for you if:

money conversations make you anxious

you avoid looking at your finances

you struggle to ask for what you're worth

you over-give financially or energetically

you feel shame around spending or receiving

you want to heal your relationship with money

you're ready for deeper prosperity work
