Fleeing the Swarming Journalistic Hubbub - Sheds Media Limelight Through Evasive Tactics
Title: Nova Meierhenrich: Navigating the Storm After Her Heartfelt Revelation
Nova Meierhenrich (51), a celebrated actress, host, and dedicated urban gardener, is making headlines with her latest book, "Life's Detours," recounting her personal struggle with infertility. In a candid interview during the OMR event in Hamburg, she was seen cruising around the city in a sustainable garden-themed rickshaw with Neudorff, a well-known eco-friendly gardening products manufacturer. Speaking on the sidelines of the excitement, Meierhenrich discusses her emotional journey, managing the media whirlwind, and her exciting projects lined up for the rest of the year.
The truth about infertility - an unexpected outpouring of support
Meierhenrich: It was truly overwhelming. The past few months have felt like a tornado, but in a positive sense. I had never anticipated the subject would resonate so powerfully or generate such widespread interest. My mission with the book was to instigate dialogues surrounding the intrusion into women’s personal lives, the K-question, motherhood desires, and the myriad paths these topics often take. The positive reception and heartfelt messages I’ve received every day have been humbling, with many women thanking me for finally making them feel seen and understood.
Surviving the chaos - finding moments of tranquility in a busy life
Meierhenrich:Navigating this whirlwind required learning to create islands of peace. In the past, I wasn’t great at that, often juggling countless tasks without pause. But my body eventually made it painfully clear that this approach was unsustainable. The Neudorff rickshaw campaign symbolizes the importance of finding those little sanctuaries amid the madness. My van parked by the door, the Elbe beach, and my allotment garden are all places I find refuge and solace. Digging my hands into the earth distresses me in the best way possible.
A stark contrast from the glamorous world - staying grounded
Meierhenrich: Yes, it's a refreshing change from my professional world. Growing up, I had a down-to-earth upbringing with three brothers, and we always preferred playing in the dirt over dolls. My first encounters with palm trees were at 17 - all my vacations were earthy adventures in Denmark. This rugged charm still influences my life today, as I don't mind sporting dirty fingernails.
The neighbors know not who you are - the joy of anonymity
Meierhenrich: Not at all! Even my fellow gardeners often remain unfamiliar with my career. There's a subtle beauty to it - garden conversations usually revolve around shares of freshly baked cakes and chatting over the garden fence. It's all about living our lives beyond the glamorous world of entertainment.
Spring has arrived - the allotment garden blooms and so does hope
Meierhenrich: Right now, the garden is a vibrant spectacle of colors. The vegetables aren't in the ground yet because frost can still make an appearance in Hamburg. However, everything else is in full bloom, with the tulips taking center stage, tall grasses swaying in the breeze, and the plum and apple trees blossoming. It's a breathtaking time of year, filled with anticipation and optimism.
A culinary companion, but not a green thumb - the perfect partnership
Meierhenrich: No, my partner, TV chef Brian Bojsen, prefers to focus on the culinary side of things. He excels in the kitchen with gusto, but repairs and renovations are a definite no-no for him. I wouldn't want it any other way - we have a perfectly balanced division: he cooks, I tend the garden.
Advice for new gardeners - start, learn, and enjoy the ride
Meierhenrich:
- Be less perfectionistic - the garden will teach you its rhythm and requirements.
- Don't force artificiality - allow your garden to grow wild, within reason.
- Don't spend on gardening clothes - your everyday wardrobe can handle the transformation into gardening attire.
Projects on the horizon - adventures with partners and pets, and memories of hopes passed
Meierhenrich: My current plans for the rest of the year are still fluid, but we will undoubtedly embark on a month-long journey to the North Cape in our van this summer. We will combine this expedition with multiple job opportunities in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. This trip will also serve as a farewell voyage, a second visit to the North Cape, imbued with hope and closure regarding our dreams of parenthood. My partner, our beloved dog, and I will travel together, creating our own path in Scandinavia.
