Welcome, doors are wide open for you!
You'll feel at home here if you're a curious, creative soul seeking playful groundedness in everyday magic. You crave deep, lived experiences over quick-fix tips, tricks and solutions, and believe in the power of words to transform us. You're drawn to holistic and nuanced perspectives on rest, rituals, rhythms, and human connection in business and life, shared as anecdotal stories, interviews, or research-backed shares. This is where the Rest Revolution starts.
You feel seen, it sounds like you?
Yes! Welcome!
I adore Carmen's grounded, open-hearted and honest expression in her pieces. Her generosity and community-lead spirit is a joy to witness. Lauren Barber

Rooted & Rested is a place that I am drawn to for its creative and practical ways of allowing us to come home to ourselves within our busy lives. Carmen has much wisdom to share from her personal experiences, beautiful insights from her corner of the world and is so generous in celebrating others and creating a feeling of a supportive village.

Carmen shares the most beautiful gentle words. It always brightens my day.

What I bring to our shared space:
Self-reflective pieces on modern, creative, and mindful living away from hustle culture
Insights from balancing city tech life with the countryside’s seasonal rhythms
A perspective shaped by life across multiple countries and cultures - you’ll find the occasional travel adventure micro-stories.
Wisdom gathered from my journey through academia, non-profits, and tech, all while being a women’s well-being mentor and yoga teacher, sound therapist, and community nurturer
Sounds like the lifespan of an 80-year-old, well, I’m 32. 😇
My promise to you:
Various formats and always-evolving content.
No trend chasing.
Nuance.
No unnecessary noise just authentic, valuable words that respect your time and wellbeing. I write when I have something meaningful to share.
…a few hopefully not-so-boring facts about me
📍I’m Carmen. Named after the Opera Carmen. Born in the Bavarian (south German) countryside nestled at the feet of the Alps.
🏠 Ex-Londoner (read why I left here), ex-Tel-Aviv, Berlin and Sydney city dweller. Now building a life between Munich and the countryside.
💻 By day at home in the tech world, I empower teams at Europe’s most well-known brands to transform the way they work and collaborate.
✍️ I write in the moonlight, well, not literally but it sounds nicer than I write outside of my normal working hours and most often when I should be going to bed.
Join the village of readers, The Rest Revolution is a gift for mind, heart & soul.
Mindfully curated by me for you, inspired by what is around us. I’ll link to some good stuff in the welcome email so you can taste my writing. If you’d like to get additional offers from me (and be considered for 1:1 mentoring/coaching + sound healing), I invite you to pledge a paid subscription, no more than the cost of your favourite café drink per month).
Stay nourished and if you end up staying in this space, see you in your inbox shortly.
