What's it actually like to receive a live Human Design reading—one that lands in your body, not just your mind? In this special episode, we do our first live reading on the show with Stacey Davis, exploring emotional Manifestor leadership, clean initiation, and how to create impact without over-giving, over-holding, or burning out.

Stacey Davis is an executive transformation mentor, ceremonista, podcaster, and lead steward of Solunara. She holds sacred containers for leaders and communities, guiding sovereignty, nervous system regulation, and sustainable and regenerative impact.

• How a live Human Design reading actually works (and what you walk away with)

• Why “clean initiation” matters for Manifestors (and what it changes in leadership)

• How to lead as an Emotional Manifestor without burning out

• Why the Manifestor aura can feel “repelling” (and how to work with it instead of against it)

• How the “Manifestor wound” gets created in childhood (and why it often turns into “I have to do it alone”)

• How to receive real support before you hit crisis mode

• Why anger is a compass for Manifestors (not a problem to suppress)

• Why undefined/open centers can drive overwork and proving

• Why your body gives loud signals (illness, shutdown, “burn it down”) when capacity is exceeded

• How to create sustainable capacity (sessions per day/month, recovery time, creative time)

• Why the full moon is a powerful “release + equilibrium” checkpoint

This week was a reminder that markets can experience meaningful movement even when the underlying fundamentals haven't changed. We saw volatility driven by rotation, rebalancing, and shifting investor expectations — not panic, and not systemic risk.

In this episode of Investment Friday, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, is joined by Brad Haines, CFA®, FRM®, CIO of Juncture Wealth Strategies, to break down what's actually happening beneath the headlines.

Together, they explore why markets are becoming more selective, how to interpret recent layoff announcements, what a new Fed chair nomination could mean for monetary policy, and why understanding tax-efficient strategies like Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) matters more than ever.

Learn more about:

• What's driving market volatility right now — and what isn't

• Sector rotation, profit-taking, and why differentiation matters

• AI, tech, and how markets are starting to separate winners from the theme

• Layoff headlines vs. labor market reality

• The Fed chair nomination and why Federal Reserve independence matters

• Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs): how to give more and pay less in taxes

In our final episode of January's “Crunchiness” series, we unpack why certain parts of Human Design and Gene Keys can feel like… “ugh, why is that me?”

In this episode, Hannah and Lauren dive into the 2/4 profile (Hermit/Opportunist). Why the 2-line hermit needs solitude, why the 4-line opportunist's best opportunities come through your network, and how that inner tension can show up in business and relationships.

Learn more about:

• Why parts of your design can feel “crunchy” at first

• The difference between rejection vs. resonance

• The 7-year deconditioning process

• Gene Keys Shadow as an octave of the Gift

• The 2/4 profile (Hermit/Opportunist) + how it plays out in life

• Natural talents you can't always see (2-line gifts)

• Why 4-line opportunities come through your people

• Projector invitations: not passive, just aligned

• Generator myths: response, desire, and sacral “YES” energy

• Why you don't have to force sales strategies that fight your design

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 “wrong” with the economy or your plan.

Additionally, she walks you through one of the most important retirement questions there is: how much money do you actually need to retire—and where the 4% rule helps, and where it falls short.

Learn more:

• What moved markets this week (and why it matters)

• Investor behavior: Stop checking so often

• Retirement planning: “How much do I need?”

• The “forward math” Hannah recommends

• Retirement spending isn't flat: “Go-go / slow-go / no-go”

• Different investor life stages

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 of the crunchiest profiles of all: the 3/5 (Martyr/Heretic). Together they reframe the meaning behind those loaded words, explain why 3/5s often feel like they're always “putting out fires,” and share how 3-line trial-and-error becomes wisdom when it's guided by Strategy + Authority.

Key Takeaways:

• January 2026 update: Investment Friday has officially split off

• Profiles 101: what the numbers actually mean

• Why 3/5 is “top-tier crunchy”

• The “theater on fire” metaphor (and why it lands)

• Lower trigram vs upper trigram tension

• The 5-line projection field: “You can fix my problem”

• Parenting/leading a 3/5: ask “What did you learn?”

• Gene Keys lens: 3rd-line Brand = humor

• A crunchy truth: 3-lines can “pay the price” materially

• Business application: why 3/5s can thrive in shorter containers

There's a lot of noise right now—and it can hijack investor decision-making. In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP® and Brad Haines, CFA, FRM zoom out to separate signal from headlines, discuss early-year market context, and share what they're watching for 2026.

You'll hear why recency bias leads people to panic-sell, why earnings and innovation may matter more than day-to-day politics over a 5-year horizon, and why rebalancing at the start of the year can support both portfolio discipline and tax planning. Then, they break down a major story involving Jerome Powell and discuss why Federal Reserve independence is a cornerstone of long-term economic stability.

What's covered:

• “Noise vs. signal” and how to stay grounded as an investor

• Earnings trends: broadening beyond mega-cap tech

• The AI buildout: data centers, compute capacity, and the next wave of applications

• Why rebalancing early in the year can be strategically helpful

• Emerging markets explained (developed vs emerging vs frontier)

• Why Fed independence matters and what happens when central banks aren't independent

• Inflation, wage catch-up, and why it can feel hard even when data improves

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, CFP® and co-host Lauren Ammon talk about why “softening” or rewriting the system to make it more palatable can actually keep people stuck. Together, they explore how to hold uncomfortable language with maturity, use the shadow as soil, and let your experiment reveal what the words truly mean—without moralizing or bypassing the human experience.

Learn about:

• Why “making HD/GK feel nicer” can be misleading

• The cost of rejecting parts of your chart

• Shadow → Gift → Siddhi as a real transformation pathway

• Gate 59: dishonesty, intimacy, safety, and timing

• Tribal circuitry and “the bargain” dynamic

• Gate 26 and the word “manipulation” (and why it isn't always bad)

• Defined vs open Ego: commitment, promises, and sustainable action

• How supportive aura dynamics can help people follow through

• Teaser: the 3/5 profile and why it can feel painful at first
