LIVED LEVERAGE
Life first. Enough on purpose.
A home for people who were never meant to pick just one path, niche, or feel career-stuck after 35+
Hi, I'm Kat
I'm running this thing, and I'm glad we found each other!
I just turned 42, but at 36, after burnout and insulin resistance hit hard, I left corporate to start my solo business, making 6-figures from fractional work while working ~3 days a week.
I'm German by passort but thanks to putting my personal capacity and life goals first, I now get to call my dream country, Portugal, my home.
Lived Leverage is my writing-led ecosystem about what I call Capacity-First Entrepreneurship and the shift of modern solopreneurship towards enough wealth. Throughout different life stages and life events, I help solopreneurs and founders break up with capacity theft and hustle culture so you can build your own version of Lived Leverage: lean, calm online businesses that turn lived experience and expertise into a sustainable portfolio income over time and work with your life, not against it.
Join me on Substack where I write about all of this: the systems, the personal stories, the mistakes, the recalibrations, and the uncomfortable art behind building a calm, profitable, capacity-first life & business.
For solopreneurs, founders, authority builders, and multipassionate midlife career reinventionists ready to build intentionally, on their own terms.
Grab The Burn List 🔥
Let's burn what no longer belongs in your life and business.
This isn’t just a worksheet; it’s your protocol for subtraction.
A 10-page guided PDF that walks you through the Burn phase, where you remove what’s costing you before stabilizing what remains and building anything new.
No replacements, no optimization. Just removal.
You’ll:
- inventory everything draining your life and business
- run each item through a simple three-question decision filter
- leave with a clear Burn List, with real timelines to take action, not vague intentions
This is where clarity turns into the action you need for change and freeing up space.
Use it your way, wherever something needs to change:
- personal life only (if you don't run your own business yet)
- or business only
- or both
One print-ready PDF (US Letter + A4 format), delivered instantly to your inbox.
PS: Inside the Lived Leverage Club, it’s already waiting for you for free.

Most people know something's draining them. This quiz tells you whether it's the life side, the business side, or both, and what to do first.
