Reprogramming with Lindsay Hyatt

In this deeply honest episode of Reprogramming , Lindsay shares what life really looks like after returning to traditional work following five years of entrepreneurship. After years of self-glorifying freedom, flexibility, and betting on herself, she opens up about the financial realities, nervous system toll, and hidden survival mode that came with running a small business—even one that looked su...

In what is clearly becoming an annual episode, this week on Reprogramming , Lindsay shares one of her most practical episodes yet: an honest conversation about navigating the brutal 2026 job market without losing yourself in the process. After recently accepting a new corporate marketing role, she breaks down her personal approach to job searching, networking, personal branding, and standing out i...

After years of building my own business and trying to create freedom on my own terms, I accepted a corporate job. Yes, again. Despite attempting a return to corporate last year that didn't go as planned, I'm giving traditional marketing and financial stability another shot. In this episode, I talk about why I made the choice, what I’m nervous about, and why I think this next chapter is goi...

At some point, this stops being about your phone. Or your habits. Or how much time you spend online. It becomes about your life. In this final episode of the series, I talk about what happens when you step out of the constant stream of information—and start to see things more clearly. Not just the noise around you, but how it’s been shaping your thoughts, your energy, and your attention. Because w...

At some point, I realized it wasn’t just what I was consuming… it was what it was doing to me. The constant checking. The scrolling. The need to stay updated at all times. It started to feel less like being informed—and more like something I couldn’t step away from. In this episode, I talk about what happened when I finally did. Small, intentional shifts created space where there hadn’t been any b...

Our mind is not for sale. Our well-being is not for sale. Our joy is not for sale. Our spirits are not up for sale. It's time we take them back. It starts with awareness about how our attention is being manipulated online. The best part about beginning to understand how our participation in the attention economy is feeding the beast is that we can also realize the power we have in stepping back fr...

This episode is about power. Personal power. Nervous system power. Business power. Attention power. Because here’s what I see now: Even if you think you’ve curated a healthy feed… Even if you only follow “good people”…Even if you’re just checking the news… You are still participating in a machine designed to keep you reactive, distracted, and exhausted. And I’m not saying this from a high horse. I...

I took an unplanned week off from Reprogramming —not because I meant to, but because life pulled me back into the real world. And that pause led to an unexpected realization about action, presence, and why waiting to feel “ready” might be keeping us stuck. In this micro episode, I talk about what happens when inspiration doesn’t show up, manifestation feels fuzzy, and you find yourself living almo...

What actually happens after you decide to step away from social media? In this episode of Reprogramming , Lindsay shares a real-time update from her ongoing social media detox—and the unexpected layers that have revealed themselves in just one week offline. What started as a simple experiment quickly turned into something deeper: confronting withdrawal, sitting with discomfort, questioning long-he...

This week, Lindsay names the reality we’re living in: it’s hard to hold optimism and still witness scary, heartbreaking things unfold in real time. And yet… two things can be true. We can acknowledge what’s happening in the world and still choose to live our actual lives—fully, intentionally, and with as much peace as we can cultivate. In this episode, Lindsay shares why she is starting a personal...

Lindsay kicks off 2026 with equal parts honesty and hope—sharing a real-life holiday reset (including a brutal road-trip illness) and naming the tension many of us feel right now: how do you keep living your life—taking care of yourself, feeling joy, creating beauty—when the world feels unstable? This episode is about finding the middle ground between doom-scrolling and disengagement, letting go o...

Peace. Presence. Acceptance. Rest. THESE are the things that I'll be prioritizing going forward. And it's so incredibly freeing. As this year comes to a close, I’m reflecting on a truth I didn’t fully see until now: everything I’ve been building — every iteration of my business, every unraveling moment, every shift in perspective — has really just been a stepping stone to the next chapter....

In this episode, I’m finally naming a shift that has been simmering for a long time: I’m done clinging to previous versions of myself, my business, and especially the online business space that shaped so much of my early entrepreneurship. A new era. A new way of being in my work and in my life. I share the two big pivots guiding my business in 2026: (1) moving fully into an IRL, community-rooted m...

It's hit me twice now in the last two years: I pour full time effort into running a part-time business. This was never my intention (and it wasn't always this way!) I used to have better boundaries and better outcomes. Last year, when my youngest daughter was in half-day UPK, I still found myself grinding into the surrounding hours and corners of the day, hustling to make my business work....

This quickie episode is not nearly as stuffy as that title would make you believe! This year has been filled with pivots, pressure, and the feeling that everything must be solved immediately. Coming off a corporate misstep and a lot of internal wheel-spinning, I realized that urgency has been running the show. Constant planning for a “better next month” was only creating more anxiety. The mindset...

Just over a year ago, I released an episode called “On the Death of Social Media as We Know It.” Turns out, I was onto something. Social media has never felt less human—or less effective—for business owners trying to build genuine connections. Algorithms are working against us, bots are louder than people, and everyone’s exhausted by the constant cycle of outrage. So what’s next? In this episode,...

In this episode of Reprogramming, we explore: -All my fun hobbies! -How we've been all been sold the lie that EVERYTHING must be rooted in purpose, and therefore, meaning is derived from accomplishment (aka Lindsay wants to play the flute again for fun.) -Waking up to the idea that we are being controlled by participating in the narratives of rage online (including the discourse around Taylor...

Are we stuck between two extremes—panic and disassociation? In this episode of Reprogramming, we explore how fear-driven reactions and “business as usual” detachment both limit our collective power. From fear mongers who fuel doubt, to friends and coworkers who choose not to know what’s happening, these patterns shape how we live and work in ways we rarely name out loud. But neither extreme will g...

The secret sauce of 2025- when it comes to getting a new job, landing a new client, or hell- just saving the world? RELATIONSHIPS. This isn't fluffy advice. This is literally the difference between getting a phone call for an interview and an AI bot throwing your well-rounded resume into an automated virtual garbage. It's the difference between a cold pitch and a highly recommended referra...

I’m back to Reprogramming after summer hiatus with a life + work update. Recently, I landed a high-paying corporate job—and quit within 30 days. Old me (the people pleaser) would’ve stayed, hoping it might get better. But after my husband’s health took a turn, I knew my energy was too precious to spend in the wrong place. In this episode, I share why walking away was the right call, how intuition...

It’s been nearly two years since AI entered the creative industries—and it’s finally starting to affect me in ways I can’t ignore. In today’s episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal take on how AI is shifting the landscape of copywriting, marketing, and creative work as we know it. This isn’t a debate about whether AI is good or bad—it’s a reflection on what it means to be a creative professional i...

If you built your business in the last 5 to 10 years OR are just starting today, you NEED to listen to this episode. It may trigger you, or it may (hopefully!) wake you up to some of the bad advice that's been peddled as "strategy." There is plenty of BAD ADVICE online about how to succeed and why you aren’t meeting your goals. This very episode was inspired by some BAD ADVICE on a b...

After speaking with creative recently on LinkedIn, the conversation she shared with me about a client who "didn't think strategy was necessary" IRKED me and got me thinking about why clients don't see the value in investing in a foundational element of their marketing. In this episode, we dive into the importance of strategy and how it helps us think big picture, for the future a...

There comes a moment in every entrepreneur's life when they toy with the idea of changing everything- throwing it away, and starting off on a new adventure. That's what this episode of Reprogramming is about: seeking relief, seeking financial stability, and being ready for a new chapter. If you're a business owner who's ever thought about returning to the traditional workforce, you...

Paralysis in business is not something I'm used to dealing with, but this year- it's been a present and powerful foe, from decision making to action taking. I explore how perfectionism, overthinking, and option overload can keep us stuck in a cycle of inaction, and share practical strategies to break free and move forward with clarity and purpose. Even as someone who typically advises othe...
