How Your Childhood Is Secretly Sabotaging Your Money Decisions w/ Hannah Chapman
ReLaunch to a Rich LifeShow Notes
Hannah Chapman is a Certified Financial Planner Professional (CFP), Accredited Portfolio Management Advisor (APMA), and Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC), with over 19 years of experience in the financial sector. She is also the founder of X² Wealth Planning and co-host of the Expansive CEO podcast, where she empowers visionary entrepreneurs through her work.
In today’s episode, Hannah joins me to break down why most people struggle with money, and why it has very little to do with numbers.
Hannah shares her journey to discovering how emotions, childhood experiences, and “money stories” drive financial decisions. She explains how the beliefs we develop early in life shape how we earn, spend, and manage money today.
We dive deep into the emotional side of money, including the three key factors that keep people stuck in cycles of overspending, stress, and financial instability, even at high income levels. Hannah also explains Human Design and Gene Keys, and how to use them to avoid regret, make aligned financial choices, and build confidence in your decisions.
We also explore the difference between emotional and instinctive decision-making, why many entrepreneurs struggle with inconsistent income, and how to shift from scarcity to an abundance mindset.
Join us as we dive into the psychology of money, how childhood shapes financial futures, how to align your decisions with who you truly are, and how to build wealth without burnout.

Through The Midlife Truth Project, she is working to create systemic change in workplaces and give midlife women greater space to be heard and supported. In today's episode, Olivia joins me to discuss her decision to walk away from her eight-figure global brand at 44 and rebuild from zero income. Olivia shares how she realized that the business she had worked so hard to build no longer fit the life she wanted. She also opens up about the internal shift that made her question her definition of success, the role of perimenopause, and what it felt like to walk away from her financial security. We dive into how to recognize when you have outgrown a career, business, or version of yourself. Olivia explains how midlife and perimenopause changed her tolerance, priorities, energy, and relationship with success, and why women need to pay attention when their internal definition of a rich life begins to change. The conversation also covers Olivia's Midlife Truth Project and the witness conversations she has been having with women around the world. She explains why women often need to be truly seen and heard rather than fixed, and how creating a safe space can help women reconnect with their voice and what they truly want.
