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 .[/text_block]

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 https://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 OCTOBER 27, 2016 AT MIDNIGHT Pacific Time — EPISODE: Carmen Traub & Anael Rojas Part 1 of 2: Kicking off Season 2 of Brokenhearted Hollywood, we are pleased to have make-up artist Anael Rojas on the show! Carmen discovered Anael at Starbucks in Beverly Hills when Anael simply gave Carmen the most sincere and kindest smile. Carmen noticed her amazing make-up and asked Anael if she was a make-up artist. You never know how you will be ‘seen’ by people who will want to help you. Don’t hesitate to shine who you are. Your gift will make room for you and people will honor you at the right time. In this episode, watch a live before-and-after beauty make-over by this up and coming artist, Anael! Carmen continues to encourage viewers to pursue their dreams, and Anael helps support this inspiring conversation. 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. Also in this episode, Carmen takes you on a journey into the exciting world of Special Effects by introducing you to MONSTERPALOOZA (www.monsterpalooza.com); an event that happens twice per year which encompasses all things gory and fearful on and off the big screen. Artist sell frightening wares, and live make-up artists transform beautiful people into horrifying creatures before your eyes. Carmen took a Special Effects course at Monsterpalooza that was sponsored and taught by Mike Spatola (2 time EMMY and 2 time ACE Award nominee for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Make-up and C.A.O. of Cinema Makeup School in Los Angeles), author of Monstrous Makeup Manual’s 1 & 2 www.monstrousmakeupmanual.com. What an amazing teacher and artist who has worked on so many movies that we love. We are so lucky to have him in the industry. In contrast to traditional Special Effects services, Carmen discusses VFX (Visual Effects) which are digital in nature. As a proud mom, Carmen can’t help but to talk about her son Izzy’s VFX company Vanity FX (www.vanityfx.com) which specializes in VFX for on-screen projects. Contact him for your next project! 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/[/text_block]

Meet actor James Runcorn! Find out about all of his MANY skills, and watch a hilarious short film he made called “Mick and James Write Together – Episode 2” featuring an old high-school buddy, Mick Wingert who currently does the voice of ‘Po’ on the t.v. series Kungfu Panda (he sounds EXACTLY like Jack Black). We laugh our heads off, and then find out about James’s incredible journey towards his acting dream. James had a rough childhood to overcome before making his way to Hollywood (which you will hear more of in the upcoming part 2 of our interview). He shares with us how he has dealt with shut doors and hard knocks from life. We touch on the following questions: Where is your identity? Is your dream destroying your life? What should you do if it is?

Then Carmen will discuss the importance of knowing your potential, knowing who you are, and how to get free from the pressure of having to please others as you navigate your dreams; diamonds are the key. Kane seems to have an extra load of encouraging things to say that we’re sure will make a difference in your life. As he says, “Never give up! Just don’t.”

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.[/text_block]

You will also find out how to prepare for unforeseen circumstances that may attempt to derail your dream, as well find out what eggs have to do with your life pursuit.
