The Divide Is Growing—But You Don’t Have to Be Part of It
If you live in Germany, you’ve probably been on an emotional rollercoaster these past months. The election just happened, and depending on your perspective, you might feel even more emotional now—either fearing things will take a turn for the worse or that they’ll keep declining like they did under the last administration.
Before you stop reading, this isn’t a political post. Quite the opposite. I see myself as an observer. I don’t take sides. My mission is simple: helping others grow free hearts and minds. Because in the end, a free and democratic society can only exist if we’re not constantly controlled by external influences.
We are shaped by our environment. The real question is: How much do you let it define you? How aware are you that it does? “Waking up” means becoming conscious of your biases and limitations. It means using the small amount of free will you have to your advantage in a world that wants you to be everything but yourself.
A few days ago, a friend asked me how I stay so indifferent to everything happening in the world. I told him: Going through years of severe mental health struggles taught me one thing— the only thing you can control is how you react. You can’t control how others treat you, and you have even less control over world events.
Some believe that taking their voices to the streets or social media will drive change. But all it really does is deepen the divide. Reinforcing your own views inside your bubble while triggering those who think differently has never built consensus. And if you want a free heart and mind, that’s exactly what you need—internal consensus.
You need to accept reality as it is. Fighting what you don’t want never gets you to the other side. It cements that very reality. Thinking about your problems doesn’t solve them. It makes them bigger.
Control what you can. Your happiness. Your perspective on life. The way you love yourself. The way you love others. The way you conduct your work or business. The rest? Just a distraction.

That’s why I wrote The Anxiety Playbook—a no-BS, practical guide to help you break free from overthinking, fear cycles, and self-sabotage. Packed with science-backed techniques and real-life strategies, this book will show you how to turn anxiety into your greatest teacher.
Dive Deeper with a Coaching
On my journey through the dark night of the soul I had many great teachers and mentors on my side. I spent thousands of Euros (and still do) on coachings and every cent was worth it. I don't think I would have been able to turn my life around so quickly without the help of these amazing people. The value you are receiving from working on removing emotional blocks, limiting beliefs and toxic thinking, can't be measured in money.
Most people only need 6 sessions in 3 months to generate dramatic outcomes in their lives. It's not like I teach them new things or have a bullet proof process. Quite the opposite is true. I believe that structure and process can help, but in most cases you're limiting life and all of its wonderful ways to create miracles for you. I am working on an intuitive level and combine all of my experience and knowledge from freeing myself.

I was inspired to pursue my own happiness (not overnight) and today can say, nearly two years on, living in a different country with a life full of love and running my own company - doing something I love - I’m really glad we met."
Felix, Startup Founder: "Jan is an extraordinary human being and an outstanding coach. Through our coaching, he helps me tremendously with personal growth and always has practical guidance at his hand."
