Let’s go on an Adventure. 1 Year Full of Lessons on How We can Create a Fully Normal, yet Fully Vibrant Life.
How are you doing this winter?
I mean, really, how are you?
All good or, if you’re actually honest, a bit of sh*t?
That’s how I feel, too.
But I’m not gonna settle for it. I am setting off for 1 year of rediscovery, a year of completely turning my life around.
And I’d like to take you with me.
Will you stick for the ride?
Join the Movement — Let’s learn how to Lift Each Other Up

Breaking out of our boring, often exhausting lives, to create an exceptional, an intentional life.
One life worth living for, once this year is over.

The Starting Point
So. I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty low these days.
That’s how the adventure begins, this year of transformation. And that’s okay.
On paper, things don’t look too bad: Safety || All the Privileges that Come with being born and raised in Europe || a Safe job || just changed career tracks last year from one that made me sick to one that is actually alright, and has potential || mostly overcame my dysfunctional family || happily married after a lot of relationship cr*p || a financial security I definitely did not always have || nothing too bad, quite good indeed, and I know that. On paper.
BUT
But I feel sad, low.
Most of it doesn’t mean much to me, sadly. I am depleted from work so much, that makes it hard to enjoy all that.
Hard to sympathize with, but true. Do you know the feeling?
Do you know the feeling of just lacking the energy to live a full life, next to work and life’s challenges ?
SO WITH THAT
Work stress eats me up, and I’m too exhausted at the end of the day to enjoy the good life.
A typical Introvert problem, indeed: So much work stimuli can deplete all energy.
The question that keeps coming back: How do people do it?
How do people live a full life, even though they gotta work 9–5?
Maybe you feel it, too?
I feel … work is too often consuming my life. BUT
We gonna find better ways this year to live our best lives, despite work.
Together.
There gotta be something better, something actually attainable for us normal people.
Not for the super humans 30 under 30s or influencer fake lives.
But for the boring normal ones, and weird ones, and quiet ones. My tribe (hello!).
The Destination: Creating a Better Life Together
Petty problems? Yes. But also, very normal.
It‘s exactly how I’ve been feeling since I started working: It’s too much.
We‘re checking our privilege, and yet, we do feel the overwhelm – our generation feels it.
That’s our generation’s plight, it’s the introvert plight:
Finding and Creating the Balance in an increasingly demanding (work) life.
So This is the Destination:
Living a rich, vibrant, meaningful and creative life, even though we gotta work.
Despite of work, with work even? Let’s see…
An authentic, happy life.
Join me on this journey, let’s build a quiet life to love.
It’s possible.
Let’s uncover it.
No: Let’s create it.
Let’s redefine our lives.
quietly yours,
Kat
