Nova Meierhenrich Unveils Her Secrets to Escaping the Manic Media Spree
Escapes from media spotlight - Eluding Media Frenzy: Her Secret Tactics Revealed
Hey there! Let's chat about Nova Meierhenrich, the 51-year-old actress, presenter, and greenthumb gardener storming headlines thanks to her new book, "Leben in Kreiseln" [circling life's kinks]. Recently, she shed light on her gripping journey with unsuccessful fertility treatment in an interview during the OMR in Hamburg. Here, she opens up about the tidal wave of media attention, coping mechanisms, and future endeavors. So, buckle up!
Did the unprecedented response to your book genuinely floor you?
Nova: Boy, it sure did! The last eight weeks have been nothing short of a cyclone – I never imagined the topic would garner such positivity and generate such demand. I can't remember the last time I wasn't talking about the book. It's a humbling experience and makes me incredibly happy. My goal was to ignite conversations about the subject: unwanted boundaries towards women, the K-question [infertility], cravings to start a family, and the myriad paths leading to this topic. The enthusiastic response warms my heart, and I can't hide my tears as I read touching messages from women saying, "Finally, I don't feel alone."
Surviving the Storm – What tactics help you find tranquility amidst chaos?
Nova: It's been a learning process to cultivate these oases of peace. I never tended to my mental health before, but the last whirlwind taught me the hard way that someday, the body makes its demands crystal clear. Finding moments of calm is essential, like my trusty van parked outside the door where I can drift off to the sea's horizon. On a tighter schedule, I head to the Elbe Beach and when I'm bursting with energy, I take a wild ride in the garden. One foot in the mud instantly grounds me. Sometimes I even roll straight from the airport to the garden and leave my suitcase there, take ten minutes off, and hit the ground running.
Does the luxury world contrast with your love for down-to-earth dirtwork?
Nova: Oh, absolutely! Now, working in the soil offers a stark difference from the silver spoon life. My childhood was simple and grounded, and I've managed to keep that vibe going in my life. I can't stand a manicured fingernail – if I gotta dig, they're gonna get dirty!
Neighbors in the Gossip Garden – Does fame elevate your allotment status?
Nova: Nope, not one bit! Strangers often don't recognize me and those who do, it's not a big deal. It's the beauty of having a green oasis where the topics run deeper than celebrity status. I enjoy a sharing camaraderie with a few neighbors, the occasional neighborly gossip or a "Cake's ready – wanna partake?" invite. And yes, I suppose there are a few stereotypical allotment gardeners, but that's just part of the charm, right?
Has the gardening season commenced? Tell us about your plot!
Nova: Spring has finally sprung, and I couldn't be more thrilled! The tulips and grasses are bursting with color, the plum and apple trees are abloom, and the vegetable gardens survive Hamburg's fickle frost. There's something truly magical about this transition, and I anticipate our first garden feast with giddy excitement.
Does your culinary maestro, TV chef Brian Bojsen, lend a hand in the garden?
Nova: Not on your life! (Laughs) He's got a whole culinary repertoire to focus on. Garden tools are a hard pass for Brian – he's just not made for that sort of thing. He's the master of the barbecue, though – the perfect symbiotic relationship!
Share some nuggets of horticultural wisdom for absolute beginners.
Nova: Remember not to be too overzealous, my friends! The garden is an ever-changing, unpredictable place, even for the most experienced gardeners. Don't worry about perfection – just dive in, experiment, make lemonade when life hands you lemons, and learn from your mistakes. A garden holds countless lessons, and beginners' minds are especially open to them.
Secondly, embrace the wild side of gardening while adhering to your allotment garden rules. Provide your garden with some wiggle room to grow, and don't cling to a cookie-cutter vision of what a garden should look like. Rent small plots if a full-blown allotment garden is too daunting – keep it manageable and enjoyable. And if you have a balcony or windowsill, even those spaces can cultivate a small herb garden or shoot a tomato plant. Be bold, be brave, be open to the magic of gardening!
Lastly, don't worry about garden duds – the dirt will fill your clothes eventually! Enjoy the process, and don't stress about acquiring special gardening gear.
What else is on the agenda for the rest of the year besides the allotment pursuits?
Nova: I can't reveal too much yet – the plans are still being fine-tuned. We're fairly certain we'll hit the road in our van and tackle the North Cape during the summer. Brian, our furry companion, and I anticipate a long, adventure-filled month traversing Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. This journey will also serve as our closure chapter regarding our journey to parenthood, a turning point filled with sweet memories and a sense of finality. Stay tuned for more details!
