LIVED LEVERAGE
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 since then.
Thanks to putting my personal capacity and life goals first while building a compatible leverage step into my one-person business journey, 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 they can build their own version of Lived Leverage: lean, calm online businesses that turn lived experience and expertise into a sustainable portfolio income over time.
The essays contain my personal lived experiences, systems, mistakes, recalibrations, and uncomfortable truths behind building a calm, profitable, capacity-first business and everything I continue to learn along the way.
For solopreneurs, founders, authority builders, and multipassionate midlife career reinventionists ready to build intentionally, on their own terms.
