AIRING ON LA36 THURSDAY MARCH 30th, 2017 AT MIDNIGHT Pacific Time -- SEASON 2. EPISODE: Carmen Traub VS Low Self-esteem Part 1 of 2:
Brokenhearted Hollywood is excited to help you overcome regret and low self-esteem so that nothing will drag you down as you pursue your very important dreams! Our version of a 'memory board' will help. Carmen also shares all sorts of things about her past which she included on her memory board, including her big 1980's hair. In this episode, Carmen shares her emotional trauma of becoming aware of all the garbage in our oceans that entangle precious sea and shore animals. Untangling birds from hooks, fishing line, and string took over her life. Today, Carmen sits on the board of an awesome non-profit organization called Mountain and Sea Adventures. This amazing organization runs kids camps and family camps which impart a deep personal appreciation for marine biology and environmental science. Families learn the importance of caring for our vulnerable environment. Schools book camps all year long as a source of education and hands-on experience. The camps are held at Emerald Bay on Santa Catalina Island (as well as ship tours), and Camp Oakes at Big Bear in the San Bernardino National Forest. Check out the website and be amazed at what they are accomplishing! If you know anyone or any group that would benefit from these camps, please pass on the information. If you end up visiting the camps, please tell them that Carmen & Brokenhearted Hollywood sent you! Their website is www.mountainandsea.org .

Hint: it involves aligning your values, beliefs and goals; “If you can get there, your responses will become far more appropriate for the opportunity, or the risk", Benny says.

This is all about you pursing your dreams, goals, and assignments and making it to the finish line.

Tomorrow is a new day, and tonight is Part 2 with my hubby Benny Traub. LIVESTREAM NOW www.la36.org or channel LA 36.

It gets easier and easier, and when you are up you will stay up longer, and when you are down you won't go as low. Hopefully you will never hit rock bottom again. 
🙂 You are so important, so please don't give up on your dreams.

AIRING ON LA36 THURSDAY NOVEMBER 24th, 2016 AT MIDNIGHT Pacific Time -- SEASON 2. EPISODE: Carmen Traub & Benny Traub Part 1 of 3:
Wow, I got to introduce my very own amazing Husband on Brokenhearted Hollywood! I even made him a decadent chocolate cake smothered with a rich chocolate ganache icing (his favorite!), adorned with white chocolate shavings, two chocolate swirled hearts, and dark chocolate covered coffee beans. The coffee press was hot and ready to go. I wanted to surprise him by having his favorite cake on set, but unfortunately, he caught me icing it the night before the shoot! This is part one of three episodes, and part one aired on Thursday Nov. 24th, but they may air it again tonight. Our show is on the schedule, but we are not sure which episode will air (they usually let us know, but if we don’t hear from them, it’s often a re-run of an episode). If you are up at midnight and need some encouragement as you pursue your dreams, turn to channel 36 or livestream www.la36.org. It may be re-run on December 8th. In this episode, we talk about depression and how to overcome it. Long-term depressive emotions can become debilitating and often lead to terrible outcomes. There are ways to take control and begin to feel happy and hopeful again. Benny talks a lot about chemicals in our brains, hormones in our bodies, and neurotransmitters that can all work together for our good....or for our demise. Benny is a motivational speaker and is passionate about equipping people for success and helping them fulfill their dreams, which is why I invited him onto the show. Also, he has watched me struggle through my dream pursuits in the creative field, and therefore has a depth of understanding of what it is like to watch someone encounter those distressing closed doors. He has wiped several of my tears away and tried to sooth my broken heart. He is also the founder of the Marketing Guild of America, he is the Executive Director of The American Wealth Association, and he is the Dean of the Marketing Education Academy. As far as the film industry goes, he created our family run business 'Marketing Videos TV' (www.marketingvideos.tv) and together we have produced a myriad of marketing videos (from script to end product). Benny has done much of the writing and producing for our pieces. Also, he is responsible for first identifying our son’s writing and film-making gift when our son Izzy was eight years old, and thusly started equipping him for the trade. As a husband and wife team, we are so thrilled to watch our son’s dreams unfold before our eyes; he has his own VFX company now (www.vantiyfx.com) and just finished his first feature film “Sleepless” (here is a write up with teaser and pics http://screenanarchy.com/2015/10/exclusive-sleepless-teases-drugs-guns-and-naked-backs-gallery.html). I shared all of that, just to say that Benny is genuinely compassionate towards Hollywood dream-chasers; he lives with two of them. We shot three episodes.
AIRING ON LA36 THURSDAY NOVEMBER 10, 2016 AT MIDNIGHT Pacific Time -- SEASON 2. EPISODE: Carmen Traub & Anael Rojas Part 2 of 2: Part 2 of the interview with make-up artist Anael Rojas, is chock-full of inspirational ideas to help arm your mind and heart for the challenges you often face as you set out to fulfill your dreams. Also, "beware of weeds in your garden". Carmen discusses lesson's learned from leech weeds and runner weeds. Our lives are like a garden, and if the wrong people 'root' themselves in our lives, they will make it difficult to move forward. Are intimate friends or family undermining you, berating you, or discouraging you in an unhealthy way? Are people trying to dominate you, rather than help you soar? Distancing yourself from such people will likely be the best action to take. But uprooting negative people from your life can be difficult, and they may over-react when they find out that you have taken control of your life. If you or someone you know is very deep in an abusive relationship, Carmen posted this help line: International Abuse Hotline: 1-800-799-7233. Carmen & Anael also discuss how low-self esteem issues can cause you to self-destruct before reaching your goals. Hear tips on how to combat self-loathing/self-hate thoughts. Becoming happy and staying happy takes work, and if you are prone to depressive thoughts and emotions, you may have to work a little harder. But, you will get stronger until you actually are happy and content most of the time. There are so many more tips on this show, so be sure to tune in! Also, for beauty make-up work, contact Anael Rojas for any upcoming projects: rojasanael@yahoo.com and view before & after pictures at: www.instagram.com/stunningface_byanael/ She will also be offering make-up classes, so contact her for the schedule.

Anael is near the beginning of her life-long dream pursuit, and Carmen is well into her 2nd, 3rd & 4th chances of fulfilling all of her dreams. The dichotomy of these two women being at different stages of their dream pursuit, lends to interesting conversation about avoiding life’s pitfalls along the way towards your dreams.

ABOUT ABRASIVE (click on CD to listen & read lyrics free)
A friend surprised me with these words,“Carmen, I don’t believe I need to be around anyone who makes me feel bad.”Those words did something on the inside of my heart, and I realized that most of the people in my life made me feel terrible. Until that moment, I didn’t realize that I could do anything other than cope with painful and uncomfortable relationships. I had even picked up the notion that somehow negative people would make me a better person. But instead, I was becoming weaker and more fearful as I allowed people to dominate in a hurtful way. With this sudden recognition of the fact that I had a choice, I decided to ‘get strong’ and put a stop to the worst of the abusers. I had always turned to my music for comfort, and after making the hardest stand against an abuser, and hanging up the phone on them (unheard of!!) I sat down and wrote ‘Abrasive’. The song continued to strengthen me as I culled out the bad, to make room for the good.
. That year, I had the song produced and got it into the hands of a commercial radio station DJ who took the song into their weekly music meeting. Everyone loved it and they put it into rotation right away. Many people connected with the song and its message, and the song aired for 8 months every day. It charted at #17 and frequented the top 6 @ 6:00 and the top 7 @ 7:00 of most requested songs of the day. It was furthermore voted as one of the best songs of the year. The song has since been remixed and is ready to be heard again...like on today’s episode of Brokenhearted Hollywood (Carmen Traub and Kane Richard Blust - Part 2of 2). The song is free for you to listen to and I hope it helps you. If you are at this site and are a radio DJ or program director, please contact me and I will send you a cd.
