eigengrund is a quiet corner of the internet for people mid-transition — midlife crises, burnout, big life shifts. Instead of courses or advice, it offers "Emotionsräume": 21-day self-guided paths to simply sit with one emotion (shame, fear, anger, grief) — short daily prompts, real presence, no fixing required. Built by two coaches who got tired of re-explaining the same fundamentals. Everything is free to read; donation replaces the usual paywall. German-language today, English coming.
Hey, I'm Malte 👋 I built eigengrund together with Sandra, my partner and fellow coach.
We kept noticing the same thing with clients: most people in a life transition don't need more information — they've already read everything. What they need is somewhere to just sit with what they're feeling, without anyone trying to fix it or explain it away.
So instead of another course, we built "Emotionsräume" — 21-day guided paths through a single emotion at a time. Short daily prompts, a video from one of us (not an avatar), and no progress bar telling you you're doing it wrong.
It's currently in German only (English is next), completely free to explore, and we've deliberately kept it funnel-free — no popups, no "upgrade now." A donation button instead of a hard paywall.
Would love to hear what resonates and what's confusing — especially from anyone who's been through a similar phase.
