Evades media chaos, she does. - Evades Media Frenzy through This Method
Spotlight's on Nova Meierhenrich (51), an actress, presenter, and allotment gardening enthusiast whose latest book, "Lifeturner," about her journey with unfulfilled fertility treatment, has taken the media by storm. With the media whirlwind in full swing, Nova offers insights on handling the chaos and maintaining a semblance of calm.
Caught Off-Guard by Public Interest?
Nova Meierhenrich: To be honest, I was blown away by the immense interest. The past eight weeks have been an emotional rollercoaster - I've hardly had a chance to talk about anything other than my book. Despite the shock, it's been an incredibly positive experience, and I'm genuinely touched by the outpouring of support and messages from women who feel seen and understood.
Creating Calm in Chaos
How does Nova manage to find moments of tranquility amidst the madness?
Meierhenrich: I've learned that taking breaks and creating little sanctuaries within my day-to-day life can make a huge difference. My van, which is always parked outside my door, has become my personal oasis, where I can escape for a quick moment and clear my thoughts.
When time permits, I head to the Elbe beach or enjoy the beauty of my allotment garden. The various projects I work on keep me grounded and focused. Digital detoxes and moments of mindfulness help me stay centered amidst the chaos.
A Contrast to the Glitz and Glamour
Nova's love for allotment gardening provides a stark contrast to the glitzy world she navigates professionally. Growing up amongst brothers, she embraced a down-to-earth lifestyle and still maintains that connection to nature today.
Her Garden Neighbors? Oh, Just the Normals!
Despite her high-profile status, Nova's garden neighbors hardly recognize her and remain unfazed by her profession. While some allotment colony stereotypes do apply, she enjoys forming genuine connections with her green-thumbed neighbors.
Allotment Garden in Full Bloom
With the gardening season kicking off, Nova's allotment showcases a vibrant display of blooming flowers and sprouting vegetables. Despite the cold weather, excitement builds as she prepares her garden for the upcoming summer.
A Team effort, with the BBQ King on Board
Nova's TV-chef partner, Brian Bojsen, leaves the gardening to her, while ruling the culinary scene with his BBQ prowess. Their partnership is a perfect blend of dirt (her) and gastronomy (him).
Tips for Beginners: Experiment, Be Wild, and Stick with it!
For budding gardeners, Nova recommends:
- Start small: Avoid being overly perfectionistic. The gardening journey is unpredictable and full of learning opportunities.
- Embrace nature: Allow your garden some freedom to grow organically. This approach creates a more authentic and interesting garden.
- Skip the gardening gear: Aim for practicality over fashion. Clothing will get covered in dirt and stains eventually, so save your money for gardening essentials.
- Learn from experience: Expect setbacks and failures, but view them as opportunities to learn and improve.
- Plant seeds of joy: Most importantly, enjoy the process of gardening and find joy in the progress, no matter how small.
What's Next: A Scandinavian Adventure and Celebrating New Beginnings
Nova's plans for the summer include a van journey to North Cape, a farewell trip for her dream of having children. She and her partner, along with their dog, are looking forward to a memorable month exploring Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.
