    💛 Rebounding & Rebalancing After a Cybercrime

    💛 Rebounding & Rebalancing After a Cybercrime  3 Steps to Rebuilding Confidence in a Digital World Today, I’m sharing one of the most personal videos I’ve ever created. When I experienced a cybercrime in 2019, it didn’t just impact my finances — it shook my confidence, my identity, and my sense of safety. What I learned through that season is that healing isn’t linear… but it is possible. This video is about the journey back — the rebalance, the recovery, and the reclaiming of your digital confidence. Here are the 3 steps that helped me rebuild: 1️⃣ Pause, Reflect, Ground Yourself  Before moving forward, you have to give yourself permission to slow down. Breathe. Process what happened. Regain your footing. Groundedness is where clarity begins. 2️⃣ Share Your Story  Isolation is where fear grows. Sharing with family, friends, colleagues — or even communities like this — reminds you that you’re not alone. Support restores strength. 3️⃣ Learn & Take Action  Education becomes empowerment. Understanding how to reduce future risk and putting a simple, actionable plan in place gives you back control in a digital world that can feel overwhelming. This post isn’t about the crime — it’s about the comeback.  And if you’re going through something similar, I want you to know: you can rise again, stronger and more grounded than before. Thank you for watching, supporting, and walking this journey with me.  💛 We heal through reflection.  💛 We rebuild through connection.  💛 We rise through education.

    💡 AI & Cyber Safety: Staying Grounded in a Digital World

    💡 AI & Cyber Safety: Staying Grounded in a Digital World In 2019, I experienced a cybercrime that shook me to my core. It wasn’t just financial — it challenged my confidence, my trust, and my sense of safety online. Today, with AI creating content faster and more convincingly than ever, the digital world can feel overwhelming. Deepfakes, manipulated media, and sophisticated phishing are on the rise — and it’s easy to feel alone in navigating it all. But here’s what I’ve learned: we are not alone, and there are steps we can take to protect ourselves. 1️⃣ Pause & Reflect  Before clicking, reacting, or sharing — stop. Take a moment to assess. Impulse is the hacker’s ally. 2️⃣ Ask: “Is This Real?”  AI can create content that looks real. Verify sources, cross-check information, and trust your instincts. 3️⃣ Lean on Your Community  Talk with friends, colleagues, and family about what you see online. Sharing knowledge strengthens everyone’s defenses. 4️⃣ Educate & Act  Knowledge is power. Learn the tools, understand the risks, and put simple, actionable steps in place to reduce future risk. Cybercrime can feel isolating — but by pausing, reflecting, and connecting, we regain control. And together, we build a safer, more resilient digital world.
