Create Your Blockbuster Life

“Create Your Star Life” is my latest addition to the podcast universe and it is born out of my other podcast baby – “The Lives and Styles of Old Hollywood”. In that latter podcast I cover the lives of many of the stars of Old Hollywood, from the earliest days of the silent movie industry on the East Coast with Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin and Gloria Swanson right to the change of the Hollywood industry when the studio system collapsed and stars like Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean and Doris Day were at the height of their careers. During the research for this podcast, I was absolutely fascinated by the lives of these icons, of their trials and tribulations, where they came from, what they had to deal with, when they started working, what obstacles and challenges they had to face and overcome, how they changed the lives of people and the course of the industry. Most of all, I realized that these larger-than-life personalities have many lessons to teach us and I started to end my episodes with these life lessons, which I personally have – at least partially – already adopted. I am a very visual person, interested in Old Hollywood and a movie fan – so, learning important life lessons from some of the most iconic and mesmerizing screen idols EVER seemed like a really great idea to me. So, this podcast here is designed to enable you to create your very own star life. Whatever that means to you. I will share and condense the life lessons I have learned throughout the last few months into more grounded theory. I was actually so invested in this idea that I not only dove nose first into a vast array of books, but also worked towards my certification as a holistic life coach which I completed in July this year. So, the content I will share with you is not only grounded in the inspiring examples of Old Hollywood stars, but also in good old knowledge and research. My hope for this podcast is to empower you to create and live your own life, to decide for yourself, who you want to be, how to achieve this version of you and how to create a life that you truly love and that you can look back on with pride, love and gratitude.

    Life is short - Enjoy it!

    The lessons that I had to repeat over and over again throughout the last 80+ episodes is "Enjoy life" or its favourite cousin "Life is short". This episode gives you a short reminder why this is important - and not self-indulgent.

    Health

    Barbara La Marr, Errol Flynn and John Barrymore are just three examples from the myriads of Old Hollywood stars that tried to cheat nature and abused both alcohol and their bodies. Others like Gloria Swanson and Greta Garbo put an emphasis on their health early on. The outcome? Predictable. Listen to the episode why there is never an easy life and why you need to choose your hard.

    Change is good

    Old Hollywood is a stellar example of an ever changing environment. From theatre to silent movies to sound movies, to radio, to TV - the actors and actresses that made Old Hollywood great were multi-interested and diversified their incomes and talents. Embracing changes and diving fully in is definitely part of the success formula. Listen in to find out what you can learn from them.

    Do you need a new name?

    Your name is your image. It will influence how others see you and how you see yourself. Old Hollywood actors and actresses often changed their name to a more appealing sounding stage name - and rightly so. Names do possess power. How can you use this for the creation of your extraordinary life?

    A Personal Brand requires (a lot of) work

    If there is anything that I would immediately sign off as being true is that Old Hollywood was full of personal brands. Personal brands nowadays are rare – even though the topic is hotter now than ever. If you look at the models and photospreads, they all look alike. The beauty standards have pretty much narrowed and authenticity and personality have become harder to find in a way.

    Hard Work

    Researching Old Hollywood, I found there was one prevalent topic almost always at play – and that was hard work. I guess, in a way, back then in the early 20th century, this was just what was expected from people. For some of the stars that I researched, hard work had been a part of their entire lives, for others the hard work only started when they had the vision of becoming an actress and working towards it – and for others becoming an actress and then working as one was the real hard work. So, let’s have a look at some of them and, even more importantly, what that means for you and your life.

    You need a vision!

    What does it need to make decisions, to tap into your intuition and to create your live deliberately. So, what you need to make decisions and achieve success is a vision, a destination of what you want to create. And of course, Old Hollywood is full of people that had a vision. Something that propelled them forwards, sustained them through long periods of time and helped them create the life they always wanted. In essence this is what created Hollywood.

    Determination and Denial

    When I was researching the actress Tallulah Bankhead, I read a book on her and other showgirls and flappers of that time and one passage of the book was: “(But) Tallulah possessed wonderful powers of determination and denial.“ I immediately LOVED this quote. There is so much wisdom in it and since then this has become my favorite motto. Because these are two very important ingredients as to what it takes to create a life that you actually want and love.
