Video: Why do we always seek out the same dramas?

Why do some people keep ending up with the wrong partners? Why do the same conflicts escalate at work or in the family? And why are good intentions often not enough to bring about lasting change in one's life?

With her new book “Drama, Babe! – From Pain to Self-Love”, which will be published by Gold Verlag on September 15, 2026, author, speaker and entrepreneur Janin Stötzner invites readers to a change of perspective.

"Not every drama destroys our lives. Some show us for the first time how we really want to live."

While many people try to put crises behind them as quickly as possible, Janin Stötzner is convinced that this presents a great opportunity.

Every drama holds a certain magic.

"I am convinced that every drama possesses a magic within it. Not because dramas are beautiful, but because they show us where we haven't truly understood ourselves yet."

In her book, she combines personal experiences with psychological insights and uses everyday examples to show why conflicts often repeat themselves – and how real change becomes possible.

This is not about guilt or perfection, but about the willingness to recognize one's own patterns and make new decisions.

"For me, dramas are not dead ends. They are keys to happiness – if we are willing to listen to their message."

As an entrepreneur, coach and speaker, Janin Stötzner has been exploring for many years the question of why people, despite their best intentions, keep getting stuck at the same points.

"People rarely fail because of their intentions. Often, unconscious patterns get in their way. Those who recognize these patterns gain the freedom to consciously redesign their lives."

A free online test accompanies the book, allowing interested readers to discover their personal "drama type." The book is supplemented by meditations and other digital content accessible via QR codes.

With “Drama, Babe! – From Pain to Self-Love”, Janin Stötzner wants to encourage people to look at their life story with more understanding, compassion and curiosity.

Because sometimes the path to a more fulfilling life begins exactly where we would most like to look away.
