I got hacked. Locked out of my Instagram. And just like that, I lost access to everything I’d spent years building.

No warning. No control. Just panic.

Years of creating, connecting, growing my community, and building my business—and suddenly, I couldn’t access any of it.

But what shook me the most wasn’t just getting hacked.

It was realizing how much of my business depended on a platform I don’t own.

When did Instagram go from being a tool to market my business to something that felt like my entire business depended on?

That question changed everything.

Part 1 of my getting hacked and locked out series. And this is only the beginning.

Have you ever thought about what would happen if you lost access to your Instagram tomorrow? 👇
