The markets are wobbling again—stocks pulling back, layoffs stacking up, and the Fed hinting at possible rate cuts. But underneath the noise, something powerful is shifting: inflation is easing, shelter inflation is dropping, and investors are asking how to stay grounded when the data feels uncertain. In this Investment Friday, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® breaks down the market's recent pullback, job loss trends, and shelter inflation updates—and shares how to protect your peace (and your portfolio) through smart cash reserves, long-term thinking, and a heart for giving back when the world feels shaky.

You don't have a motivation problem—you have an alignment problem. If the version of you at work isn't the same one at home, in the gym, and with your friends, you'll keep grinding harder without feeling better. Today's guest shows how to collapse that gap—so progress actually feels like power. In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, talks with Marine Corps veteran, performance coach, and keynote speaker Mycal (“Coach Derz”) Anders—founder of Next Level Performance Consulting—whose motto is “Alignment first, progress always.” Mycal shares how to unify your identities so you lead at work, love at home, and thrive in your body. We cover detaching from life-or-death urgency, upgrading relationship agreements, filling the post-breakthrough “void” with the next easiest step, and why alignment—not motivation—is the real unlock.

Uncertainty is back on center stage. The Fed cut rates by 0.25%—but Powell wouldn't commit to another cut in December. Markets wobbled, leadership remains concentrated in the mega-caps, and headlines about layoffs and a potential SNAP funding gap raise real-world questions about how money flows… and how we can help. In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, breaks down what the Fed actually signaled, why concentration risk matters (especially with highly appreciated stocks), and how to turn year-end generosity into smart, tax-savvy impact—fast. Learn more: Why a rate cut still rattled markets How “priced for perfection” works Why concentration risk matters How to handle highly appreciated stocks How to make giving tax-smart fast Why a Donor-Advised Fund helps now How retirees can give more efficiently through QCDs from IRAs Why layoffs and data gaps matter How to de-risk without derailing returns How to help food security immediately Connect with Hannah here: X² Wealth Planning Website: https://x2wealthplanning.com/ Expansive CEO: https://expansiveceo.com/ Hannah's Website: https://hannahrchapman.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hannah.chapman.cfp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hannahchapmanfinancialadvisor/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannahrchapman/

We all have patterns — ways of thinking, reacting, or hiding that shape our lives, our relationships, and even our legacy. But what happens when those patterns become self-destructive? When success on the outside hides a quiet collapse on the inside? This conversation goes straight into the heart of how we can face the parts of ourselves we've tried hardest to avoid — and finally lead them toward healing. In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, is joined by Craig Perra, founder and CEO of The Mindful Habit System — a globally recognized coaching framework that helps men master self-leadership by transforming destructive habits and internal conflict into purpose, discipline, and power. Together, they explore how patterns of hiding, shame, and sabotage can evolve into integrity, authenticity, and genuine freedom. Learn about: Craig shares his journey from high-powered attorney to rock bottom, and how that breakdown became the foundation for The Mindful Habit System. Why “hiding” is at the core of so many destructive patterns — and how telling the truth is the first act of real freedom. How powerful men often feel small at home, and what that says about emotional safety, resentment, and unmet needs. The deep connection between lying, fear, and control — and why honesty is a form of self-leadership. Porn, power, and the pain of secrecy: why so many men sabotage their legacy in silence. How relationships fall into complementary patterns — the controller and the caretaker — and how awareness breaks the cycle. The role of self-leadership and parts work (IFS) in learning to love and lead every part of yourself, even the ones you dislike. Craig's powerful reframe: “All behavior is need-seeking behavior. What you call your problem, I call your solution — you just need a better one.” Connect with Craig here: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themindfulhabitsystem/ Website: https://mindfulhabithelp.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Themindfulhabitsexaddiction Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindful_habit_coaching/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the_mindful_habit X: https://twitter.com/themindfulhabit Connect with Hannah here: X² Wealth Planning Website: https://x2wealthplanning.com/ Expansive CEO: https://expansiveceo.com/ Hannah's Website: https://hannahrchapman.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hannah.chapman.cfp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hannahchapmanfinancialadvisor/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannahrchapman/

The markets are climbing, the government is still shut down, and the data we usually rely on just isn't coming in. So how do investors make smart decisions when the information pipeline has gone dark—and what does record leverage in the system mean for the months ahead? In this podcast, Hannah Chapman CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and Brad Haines, CFA, FRM and Chief Investment Officer of Juncture Wealth Strategies talk about what's really driving markets during the shutdown, how margin and leveraged ETFs can magnify both gains and losses, and when using borrowed money in your portfolio makes sense—and when it absolutely doesn't. The U.S. government shutdown has officially hit week three — what that really means for the economy, and why investors are flying blind without key data releases. CPI data is (finally) back on the calendar — even though most government agencies are still closed, a few analysts got called in just to crunch the numbers. With record levels of margin debt — over $1.1 trillion — investors are borrowing more money than ever against stock portfolios. We break down what margin really means and why it's a double-edged sword. What happens when too much of the market is built on borrowed money? A look at how high leverage can make markets rise (and fall) faster than expected. The hidden risk in leveraged ETFs and why “hot money” — borrowed funds chasing quick profits — can add fuel to market volatility. Practical insights for investors: when leverage can actually work in your favor, when it can backfire, and how to know the difference. Why margin loans might make sense for some high-net-worth investors — especially as a tax strategy — but only if used carefully and intentionally.

Trust can feel thrilling—and terrifying. How do you feel safe enough to be seen, set boundaries with love, and keep passion alive without losing yourself? Especially after 40? In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, is joined by Shana James, MA (Psychology)—relationship coach of 20 years, TEDx speaker (“What 1,000 Men's Tears Reveal…”), host of Man Alive & Practicing Love, and author of Honest Sex and Power & Pleasure.

Markets are sitting near all-time highs… while the U.S. government is shut down. Tariff headlines are bouncing back and forth, inflation data is frozen, and the Fed's next move could set the tone for the rest of the year — but what does any of that actually mean for your portfolio? In this week's Investment Friday, Hannah Chapman CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and Brad Haines, CFA, FRM and Chief Investment Officer of Juncture Wealth Strategies break down what's really happening beneath the noise — from Trump's proposed 100% tariffs on China and the ripple effects on rare earth minerals, to how the government shutdown is distorting access to economic data and why that uncertainty fuels short-term market swings. They also share the practical steps investors can take right now: rebalancing portfolios, tax-loss harvesting, and making confident year-end decisions even when the data isn't flowing. Learn about: Tariffs are back in the headlines — but what do they really mean for prices, profits, and portfolios? The government shutdown has frozen official economic data, leaving markets flying a little blind — we share where we're finding reliable information anyway. Inflation is still running above target, but rents are falling fast. We talk about why housing data takes months to show up in the numbers. The Fed's next meeting is coming up, and we dig into why the story around a rate cut can matter even more than the cut itself. It's Q4 — time to check your portfolio mix, take profits where it makes sense, and harvest losses to trim your tax bill. Mutual funds are about to start paying out capital gains… and we explain how that surprise tax bill sneaks up on investors every year. How patience, process, and a clear plan help you make smart decisions, even when headlines are loud and data is scarce.

What if visibility wasn't about being louder—but about being truer? So many founders and creators feel the pull to share their message, yet freeze the moment the camera turns on. They know they have brilliance inside them, but translating that inner genius into words that resonate publicly—that's where they get stuck. In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, talks to Arriana Acuna, Founder & CEO of Operations Media, about solving this problem. Arriana helps founders be seen for who they really are, guiding them to drop the script, speak from the soul, and build trust that converts.

What happens when you've spent your whole life working from someone else's frequency—believing that your power is “too much,” your rest is “lazy,” and your emotions are “in the way”? For Manifestors, this is often the story. They're here to initiate, to impact, and to set entire movements in motion… yet most grow up conditioned to tone it down, fit in, or keep the peace. The result? A deep disconnection from their own energy—and a lifetime of trying to operate like everyone else. In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, Hannah Chapman CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® sits down with her dear friend and Human Design bestie, Lauren Ammon, to explore what it really means to reclaim the Manifestor frequency. Together, they break down how to parent and partner with Manifestors, why the “borrowed frequency” is such a sneaky energy trap, and how understanding our design can heal generations of conditioning. Why a repelling aura isn't “rude”—and how informing creates flow and support. How living from conditioned energy hides your true signature (especially in Manifestors) Reframing the Manifestor not-self (anger) and signature (peace) as guidance, not judgment Parenting & partnering with Manifestors: Shifting “ask permission” in childhood to “inform” in adulthood; using authority correctly (Emotional, Splenic, Ego). The cost of hustle culture on open/defined Ego centers; what we suppress, the body expresses. Practical scripts: Simple, non-pushy informing that opens doors (the airplane story!).

Why is men's work so critical right now? For generations, men have been conditioned to suppress emotions, carry the weight of provision, and lead through stoicism. But we are entering a new era—one where integration, vulnerability, and healing are essential to living whole and authentic lives. In this deeply honest conversation, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, speaks with Josh Rimany—pharmacist turned healer and men's work leader—about the shift from head to heart, the power of community, and why building safe spaces for men is pivotal for the future of families, businesses, and humanity itself. Explore: Why is men's work so important right now? How can men move from the “old paradigm” of rigidity into a new, integrated masculinity? What role does stress and unprocessed emotion play in chronic illness? Why is learning to “hold space” just as important as fixing problems? How can entrepreneurs and leaders invest in themselves as their greatest asset? What does it mean to create true safety—in relationships, in families, and in community?

Inflation may be cooling, but investors are still holding their breath ahead of next week's Fed meeting. With producer prices turning negative and CPI holding near 3%, the data suggests relief—but markets know that interest rate cuts ripple unevenly across savings, mortgages, and housing. Will this shift spark opportunity, or more frustration for households still waiting for rates to ease? In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, and Brad Haines, CFA, FRM, and Chief Investment Officer of Juncture Wealth Strategies, unpack the week's economic headlines, from inflation surprises to the tariff impact on farms, and explain what a Fed rate cut really means for your cash, mortgage rates, and the housing market.

What if the real secret to success isn't grinding harder, but learning to relax, surrender, and align your life with what truly matters?

Mentorship isn't just about giving advice from the top down—it's about creating intentional, reciprocal relationships that spark growth, belonging, and transformation in organizations. In this powerful episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, founder of X² Wealth Planning and Expansive CEO, sits down with Dr. Kelly Diggs, neuroscientist turned leadership consultant and CEO of Kelly A. Diggs Consulting. Together, they dive deep into what mentorship really means in business, institutions, and everyday life, and how it can reshape culture, equity, and the future of organizations. Dr. Diggs shares her journey from the lab bench to becoming a nationally recognized consultant in mentorship, leadership, and DEI (justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion), and offers practical insight into how mentorship impacts careers, succession planning, institutional success, and even the bottom line. Topics covered: What mentorship is really—and how it is different from the outdated “top-down” model How mentorship creates reciprocal growth and not just transactional relationships The role mentorship plays in equity, belonging, and institutional culture How effective mentorship directly impacts business succession, retention, and profits How leaders can lean into “productive discomfort” to foster deeper conversations and change Practical ways to bring mentorship into our daily lives, both at work and at home Connect with Dr. Kelly here: Facebook: http://facebook.com/dr.k.diggs Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.k.diggs/ X: http://x.com/drkellydiggs LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drkellydiggs YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT8jdHehAIlyP_xDeKWLEIA Email: info@kellydiggs.com Connect with Hannah here: X² Wealth Planning Website: https://x2wealthplanning.com/ Expansive CEO: https://expansiveceo.com/ Hannah's Website: https://hannahrchapman.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hannah.chapman.cfp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hannahchapmanfinancialadvisor/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannahrchapman/
