What does it look like to build a business — and a life — that's guided by intuition, alignment, and love instead of hustle and fear? In this episode of the Expansive CEO Podcast, host Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® sits down with her dear friend Lindsey Bonadonna, founder of be. in Cincinnati.

Two years after opening her doors, Lindsay shares how she's navigated the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, leadership, and personal growth by staying grounded in her values. From creating a welcoming community space, to holding both joy and anxiety in the same breath, Lindsey models what it means to be deeply authentic and resilient while growing something bigger than herself.

• What has shifted in Lindsey's journey since opening be. two years ago?

• Can you run a business in a capitalist system while prioritizing intuition, people, and well-being?

• How does holding space for both joy and stress expand our capacity to lead?

• Why is authenticity and self-love so essential for effective leadership?

• What does it mean to succeed—or even to gracefully let go—in entrepreneurship?

• How can small, aligned decisions build toward a life and business that truly feel good?

• What's next for be. and how is Lindsey expanding her ripple of impact?
