What it means to be your own boss
What it means to be your own boss means you are never not learning.
Lately, I have been reflecting a lot about what it means to be my own boss. Perhaps because our four year anniversary is around the corner. The exact day of MIGA’s anniversary marks the day I decided to incorporate our business but more importantly, it marks the day I decided to move away from a job that no longer served me.Â
Prior to this job, I had the privilege to go back to school and get my master’s degree at Central Saint Martins UK. Master programs are incredibly self-led, I chose my field of study and having classes just three times a week meant that you were expected to use the rest of your time wisely and ultimately, learn how to manage your own time. This independence proved to me just how productive I could be when I was intentional and truly passionate about my pursuits.Â
I wish I could say that since then it has all been peaches but the reality is that when you are your own boss, you are always learning. You are the person on the hook for everything and you are never not learning, and that leads to burnout. If you are a regular around these parts, you know I am no stranger to experiencing burnout. The difference being that before I thought burnout was only possible when you were in a job that didn’t align with your purpose. Now I realize that burnout can also happen when pursuing your own dreams. Not on someone else’s clock, but on your own.Â
Since August, I have been experiencing tremendous feelings of dread and exhaustion. My husband was the first to notice, then close friends and colleagues. Something wasn’t sitting right. So I decided to pause, first pausing all marketing. Every time a Facebook email would hit my mailbox, at approximately 7pm, reminding me just how much money we were spending on a platform that just doesn’t work for our brand, dread would ensue. Then came the pausing of my actual day-to-day activities to just do the bare minimum. Yes, this was no longer about “allowing myself a break”; it was mandatory. I am using Michaela Coel’s quote as a guiding light through this journey. "Do not be afraid to disappear, from it, from us, for a while, and see what comes to you in the silence.”
I would like to say that I have arrived at a grandiose conclusion on what MIGA will look like in the upcoming years, a plan for the next four years. But I haven’t. I am still in the process of figuring it out and I am deeply committed to fixing myself first because I recognize that MIGA and Maria Luisa are incredibly intertwined. I need to continue to work on being more kind to myself and to take time to decompress. Like my therapist says, I cannot pour from an empty cup. With that said, I will be taking time-off starting December 10th and won’t be back until next year. If you want to get your suits right on time before the holidays, do it before that date as our fulfillment center (aka me) will be closed. In honor of our four year anniversary, you can go ahead and use code 40for4 to get 40% off your next order. As always, thank you for your patience as we undergo these changes and for wanting to be part of my journey. I am forever grateful to all 5K of you.

Lost Crypto | Recover Your Stolen Bitcoin with Proven Cyber Experts Intelligence Cyber Wizard
Help Recovering Stolen Cryptocurrency; What You Can Do Now Expert Guide for 2026 Intelligence Cyber Wizard. Intelligence Cyber Wizard provides professional Bitcoin recovery services for victims worldwide, using advanced blockchain forensics and cyber investigations. We help trace, investigate, and recover stolen or lost Bitcoin from crypto investment scams, romance and pig butchering scams, fake trading platforms, wallet hacks, phishing attacks, and unauthorized Bitcoin transfers.
Bitcoin recovery is possible because all transactions are permanently recorded on the blockchain. While Bitcoin is decentralized, it is not untraceable. With the right expertise, stolen BTC can be tracked, analyzed, and linked to exchanges, wallets, and scam networks.
Our specializations include blockchain transaction tracing, scam wallet identification, exchange linked recovery processes, cyber fraud investigation reports, and evidence preparation for fund retrieval.
Our Bitcoin recovery process begins with a case assessment, where we analyze your transaction hash, wallet address, and scam details to determine recovery feasibility. Next is blockchain forensic tracking, where our experts trace your Bitcoin across the blockchain to identify movement patterns and endpoints. We then conduct scam network identification by connecting wallets to known scam operations, exchanges, or laundering services. Where recovery is possible, we initiate the appropriate recovery actions and provide full guidance throughout the process.
Victims trust Intelligence Cyber Wizard because we specialize in Bitcoin and crypto recovery, use advanced blockchain forensic tools, and have experience handling U.S. based scam cases. We maintain a transparent process with no false promises and ensure confidential, secure case handling. We focus on real investigations rather than automated software or unrealistic guarantees.
We handle various types of Bitcoin scams, including fake crypto investment websites, pig butchering scams involving long term manipulation, romance scams involving Bitcoin, phishing and wallet drain attacks, unauthorized exchange withdrawals, and Bitcoin sent to incorrect or scam addresses.
Frequently asked questions often include whether stolen Bitcoin can be recovered. In many cases, recovery is possible depending on how quickly action is taken and whether funds can be linked to recoverable endpoints such as exchanges. Recovery timelines vary, with some cases taking weeks and others longer depending on transaction complexity. No legitimate recovery service can guarantee 100 percent success, and we provide honest case evaluations before proceeding. While we assist victims worldwide, we maintain a strong focus on United States, UK’s, Australia and Canada scam cases.
Time is critical. The sooner your case is investigated, the higher the chances of recovery, as delays allow scammers to further launder stolen Bitcoin.
