13: I Got Hacked and It Changed My Life (Here's How)
Summary
Show Notes: What happens when your entire business platform disappears overnight? Kathleen Lyons shares the raw, honest story of how losing her Instagram account to hackers became the wake-up call she didn't know she needed.
This isn't just a cautionary tale about online security — it's about the powerful mindset shift that transforms setbacks into setups for something better. From panic and frustration to clarity and purpose, discover how viewing challenges as happening "for you" instead of "to you" can change everything.
You'll hear about:
The exact moment Kathleen realized she'd been hacked (and her immediate reaction)
How fighting back sometimes makes things worse
The spiritual reframe that shifted everything: "for me" vs "to me" thinking
Why losing her platform revealed how much her creative work actually mattered
The daily posting commitment that emerged from recognizing privilege
How this experience clarified her "why" and legacy focus
Takeaway: Your creative work is a privilege, not a guarantee. Stop waiting for perfect conditions and start treating your gifts like they matter — because they do, and because tomorrow isn't promised.
