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.

    How Self-Love Shapes Everything You Attract In Love, Life, & Business

    What if the reason your love life, fulfillment, or success hasn’t fully clicked yet has nothing to do with “them” and everything to do with you?

    Whether it’s relationships, business, or life itself, most of us are searching outward for alignment, validation, and connection.


    But here’s the truth I learned as a professional matchmaker: nothing will truly align until you do.


    In this episode, I’m showing you the one action you need to take before anyone or anything can truly align, whether romantic or life in general.


    This conversation goes beyond romance, because I break down the three principles that determine what you attract in love, business, and life.


    You’ll learn:


    What self-love is,

    How it affects everything you do,

    How to truly love yourself,

    How your energy silently dictates your results,

    How to build the foundation of your confidence,

    And how to raise the standard for how people treat you.


    You’ll also learn my brain-based Tune-In Process, a simple four-step method to quiet your inner critic, shift your energy, and take aligned action in under two minutes.


    If you’ve ever felt stuck, unfulfilled, or like you’re settling for “good enough,” make sure you listen till the end of this video.


    This episode of the Relaunch To A Rich Life podcast will show you how to activate the most important relationship of all, which is loving yourself.

    If this episode lit something inside you, that quiet knowing that you’re meant for more, then I want to personally invite you into the most powerful room of the year.


    ReLaunch To A Rich Life LIVE is a transformative, neuroscience-backed 3-day experience happening September 17-19, 2026 in Scottsdale, Arizona. It’s designed for women who are done playing small and ready to step into clarity, confidence, and next-level success, not just in business, but in health, wealth, relationships, and life.


    This isn’t another event, it’s a quantum upgrade into the life you’re meant to live. Join women who are ready to rewire their identity, elevate their frequency, and claim a Rich Life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.
