Hey again, it's me, Christina!! Blogger extraordinaire.
So one thing that makes blogging easier (in my professional experience), is having a few themes to follow. So here's the first theme that I'll be harping on: Female Entrepreneurship. When I'm not blogging, I'm female entrepreneuring...
Sort of by accident, I became an entrepreneur and turns out, I really love it. I love being one and I love learning about other female entrepreneurs. It's amazing how I've met women with SUCH different businesses than Sh*t That I Knit, and yet, we seem to have very similar challenges to overcome. We always have endless things to talk about when we meet up for lunch (or drinks), from customer service to workflow apps to hiring people to sourcing materials to finding time to turn off, we are all in a similar ~crazy~ boat.
So for this blog, I did all of my entrepreneur-friends a huge favor and added something to their to-do list... I asked them three questions for my blog!! Here you go!
How we met: Cate and I grew up in the same town (our parents are friends!), but I didn’t meet Cate until I started STIK. I actually lived down the street from Recycle's first studio on Tremont Street my first year out of college. I would go to the class and then “brag” to my friends that I sort of knew Cate because she grew up in Weston too… it was very cool of me. When I started out, Cate was insanely welcoming and invited me to host a trunk show at their studio. Ever since then, I've connected with Cate on a personal and professional level - going to her for advice and just to catch up!
My take on Cate: Cate legit started the first spin studio in Boston. Long before we ever caught wind of SoulCycle or Turnstyle or anything like that, Cate introduced us to booty tapping the bike and dying from lifting 2-pound weights - the pain is real and the toning is effective. Cate’s energy is infectious. She’s the ultimate cool girl and when you meet her, you want to be her. She’s created a spin studio, yes, but more than that, she’s really created a community. People who spin at Recycle have completely drunk the organic kool-aid. They are all-in and are supportive, wonderful people. Basically, I think I love Cate?
Here are her answers to the VERY quick questions I’ve been asking female entrepreneurs I love:
What is one piece of advice you give to aspiring female entrepreneurs?
Create a really solid and dynamic team of people who compliment your strengths and weaknesses. You cannot do it all. You should not do it all.
What is one not-so-sexy (sh*ttiest) part of working for yourself that people don't typically see on social media?
The roller coaster ride that we live/work on 365 days a year.
If there are things that are "shitty" about starting your own thing, what keeps you going? What's one of the best parts of your "job”?
I get to surround myself with people who are running their own businesses - and quite frankly, doing cool shit for the city and beyond. Their friendships, stories, originality, inspiration and empathy keeps me going. I started Recycle because boutique fitness was something I wished existed in Boston. The community of people creating things (big and small) they wish existed is very cool. They are making the city a more interesting place to live. These relationships Recycle has given me is the best part of my job.

I never thought I’d fall for a romance scam, but it happened. I met someone on a popular dating site who seemed genuine, kind, and emotionally supportive. Over time, we developed what I thought was a real connection. Then came the stories—emergencies, business problems, and travel issues—and before I knew it, I had sent over $85,000 trying to help them.
When they suddenly disappeared and deleted their profile, my world came crashing down. I was heartbroken and ashamed. A friend encouraged me to reach out to Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery, and honestly, I didn’t expect much. But their team was incredibly professional, compassionate, and efficient.
They handled everything discreetly, launched a full investigation, and within a few weeks, they recovered almost all of my lost funds. I couldn’t believe it—after being scammed emotionally and financially, I finally had some justice and closure.
Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery didn’t just recover my money—they helped me reclaim my peace of mind. If you’ve been scammed online, don’t stay silent. These people know what they’re doing, and they genuinely care.

It all started on Facebook when I came across a crowdfunding campaign for an eco-friendly product that seemed too good to pass up. The campaign page featured glowing testimonials, professional images, and a video of the prototype. The creators seemed genuine, so I was excited to support their project. They asked for contributions through PayMe, a payment platform I trusted, and without hesitation, I transferred $7,600 to back the idea. Initially, everything appeared fine. The creators posted updates regularly, expressing gratitude to their backers and assuring us that production was moving forward. However, as weeks passed, the updates became less frequent and more vague. My attempts to reach them via Facebook messages went unanswered, or I received generic replies. Eventually, the campaign page was removed, and the creators disappeared. I realized I had been scammed. Losing $7,600 was devastating. I felt both angry and embarrassed for not being more cautious. Determined to recover my funds, I began researching ways to track down scammers. That’s when I found Digital Tech Guard Recovery, a company that specializes in tracing and recovering funds lost to online fraud. Although skeptical at first, I decided to reach out after reading positive reviews from others who had similar experiences. I provided Digital Tech Guard Recovery with all the information I had screenshots of the campaign, PayMe transaction records, and any communication with the scammers. Their team was professional and reassured me throughout the process. Using advanced techniques, they successfully traced the funds and, much to my surprise, recovered the entire $7,600.The relief I felt was indescribable. Digital Tech Guard Recovery truly lived up to their reputation. This experience taught me the importance of verifying online campaigns and being cautious with my money, even when it involves platforms like Facebook. While I still want to support innovative ideas, I now do so with a much more critical eye. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, don’t lose hope. Reach out to Digital Tech Guard Recovery. They may be able to help you recover your funds, just like they did for me. In the end, I’m grateful to have my money back and a valuable lesson learned.
