    Why We Hide Money From the People We Love

    Hiding the Target bags. Breaking down the Amazon boxes before your spouse gets home. Pretending the new dress has been hanging in your closet for years. It's often treated as a harmless joke about marriage. But...why is hiding money from our partners so relatable in the first place? In this episode of the Expansive CEO Podcast, Hannah and Lauren take another look at money stories in the wild—this time sparked by a viral Instagram post joking about hiding purchases from a spouse. Hiding is incredibly common, but hiding is the behavior. It isn't the money story underneath it. Learn about: Why hiding purchases from a partner has become normalized The difference between a money behavior and the money story underneath it Why the same behavior can come from completely different money stories How childhood experiences teach us what we're "supposed" to do with money The connection between money, control, and autonomy How seemingly small financial secrets can create cracks in trust Why earning millions doesn't automatically create a healthy relationship with money How we can unknowingly hide money from ourselves "Manufactured scarcity" and why scattered accounts can perpetuate a feeling of never having enough Why one partner often becomes the financial gatekeeper How financial control can develop even in otherwise healthy relationships Why both partners need autonomy—even while building shared financial goals Join us on Substack: https://expansiveceo.substack.com/ Ready to work with a fiduciary CFP to build your long-term wealth strategy?

    Your Money Stories Are Making Business Decisions for You

    What happens when a money story you learned decades ago quietly walks into a pricing conversation with you? In this episode of the Expansive CEO Podcast, Hannah Chapman and Lauren Ammon continue their conversation about changing relationships—this time focusing on one of the most important relationships in your life: your relationship with money. Because becoming aware of a money pattern isn't enough to change it. Eventually, life will give you an opportunity to repeat the old pattern or make a different choice. And that's where the real work begins. Explore: The Expansive CEO framework of Awareness → Acceptance → Aligned Action Why skipping acceptance can turn "different action" into another version of the same old pattern How childhood money stories continue showing up in business decisions Why a "just enough" money story can lead to chronic underpricing The connection between pricing, rejection, worth, and the Human Design Ego/Will Center How fear of being alone can become a money story Why more revenue doesn't necessarily create financial security The hidden cost of discounting before anyone has even said no Why you have to become comfortable with the discomfort of making a different choice How Human Design illustrates the importance of slowing down Why your relationship with money deserves to be treated as a primary relationship Join us on Substack: https://expansiveceo.substack.com/ Ready to work with a fiduciary CFP to build your long-term wealth strategy?

    Why Great Relationships Require Different Choices

    Relationships don't change by accident. Whether it's your spouse, business partner, children, or even your relationship with yourself, lasting transformation begins with one simple question: What if the problem isn't the other person... but the way you're relating to their energy? In this episode, Hannah and Lauren explore how Human Design offers a powerful framework for understanding relationship dynamics—not to label or fix people, but to cultivate greater awareness, compassion, and cooperation. Through personal stories, client examples, and practical insights, they unpack how our unique energetic blueprints shape the way we communicate, parent, partner, and navigate conflict. In This Episode Why every relationship requires two whole people—not two halves Understanding the energy you bring into every room How Human Design can illuminate relationship friction The difference between compromise and collaboration Parenting through awareness instead of old wounds Emotional authority and why difficult conversations need time Why healthy relationships require different choices—not different people The role of self-awareness in building stronger partnerships An introduction to the new Expansive CEO Substack community and Money Story Meditations Join us on Substack: https://expansiveceo.substack.com/ Ready to work with a fiduciary CFP to build your long-term wealth strategy?
