Bypassing the journalistic uproar, she extricates herself from the news frenzy. - Achieving Media Evasion Strategies: Insights Provided
Nova Meierhenrich (51), actress, presenter, and devoted gardener, has made headlines recently with her new book "Lebenstreppe" about her struggle with infertility. An intriguing interview during the OMR in Hamburg, where she traveled in a rickshaw adorned with greenery by Neudorff, a company specializing in eco-friendly gardening products, offers insights into her reactions to the media's uproar and her techniques for finding peace amidst the storm.
Did the considerable interest taken in your book shock you?
Nova Meierhenrich: The sheer intensity of it truly overwhelmed me. The past eight weeks have been a relentless whirlwind, something I'd never anticipated. I can't seem to escape talking about the book. Even as I pen these words, I'm still reflecting upon it. I share the same sentiments of awe as I do gratitude—an unexpected and heartwarming response. My aim was to ignite a conversation about the complexities of women's experiences, the K-question, aspirations of parenthood, and various paths towards these topics. Reading messages from women who share their feelings of being seen and understood leaves me moved to tears.
How do you deal with finding moments of tranquility in the midst of chaos?
Meierhenrich: Mastering this skill has been a journey of self-discovery for me. I never excelled in this before, often thinking, "Just press on, get it done, and move on." But Experience has proven such a mindset to be misguided. My body soon made it clear that restorative moments were mandatory to function optimally. Neudorff's green rickshaw vehicle symbolizes that sanctuary for me. I have a 1970's VW camper parked by my door, serving as a haven. I appreciate the stillness by the sea, and my allotment garden stillness brings me immense comfort, grounding me profoundly. When the first sunbeams touch my skin, I find myself hoeing the earth, connecting with this ultimate sense of peace.
Is your career-driven lifestyle a stark contrast to your love for gardening?
Meierhenrich: Indeed, it is a wonderful contrast. Gardening provides balance. I've maintained that enjoyment since childhood. With two brothers, we were foreverconstructing treehouses instead of playing with dolls. Even my trips to Denmark marked by a low-key, earthy atmosphere continue to this day. I ensure my nail polish matches my work clothes so I can get my hands dirty in the evenings.
Does your celebrity status extend to your allotment garden neighbors?
Meierhenrich: No, they remain oblivious to my professional achievements. Most don't take notice of what I do for a living. Garden plots host conversations about shared produce and baked goods. There are those who embody allotment garden clichés, but I embrace the diversity of personalities one finds in such spaces. They're a unique facet of life in a city.
How does your allotment garden appear as the growing season commences?
Meierhenrich: As the new growth emerges, color bursts forth. Vegetables haven't yet been planted due to the risk of frost in Hamburg this time of year. However, tulips bloom, grasses sprout, and plum and apple trees flourish. The anticipation of warmer days for barbecues begins to build.
Is your partner, TV chef Brian Bojsen, involved in your gardening endeavors?
Meierhenrich: No, he would rather hand over the culinary responsibilities with zeal. He isn't one for carpentry or DIY projects—happily, I don't have those inclinations either. He excels in the art of barbecuing, making for an agreeable division of labor.
What advice would you offer to fledgling gardeners?
Meierhenrich: First, release the pressure for perfection. The garden will reveal its quirks. One considers oneself in control initially, but gardening is constantly evolving. Inclement weather conditions, seedlings that don't thrive, and various uncertainties should be embraced.
Second, cultivate a carefree attitude. I aim for an untamed, wild garden, creating space for flora to thrive harmoniously. Urban dwellers can rent plots or place balcony boxes to grow vegetables, herbs, or flowers. No decorative gardening clothing is necessary; fashionable clothing already available in your wardrobe can serve as gardening gear.
Third, possess the freedom to experiment. Accept that there may be seasons of triumph and seasons of disappointment, but always remain eager to learn and adapt.
