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
