Popular television personality Nomeda Marčėnaitė shares insights from her multifaceted life. The well-known host discusses her experiences with family, career shifts, and the importance of self-acceptance, offering a candid look at her journey.

Early Career and Overcoming Challenges

Nomeda began her television career later in life, at the age of 37, while raising children. She recalls her initial trepidation when facing the cameras. She credits producer Justinas Milušauskas and Violeta Baublienė with launching her television career.

“Yes, of course, I remember. But I am one of those people who do not feel the excitement of the camera. I just have a great hyperaration to prevent other people from getting lost. I was already filming briefly in other shows. But when I stood in front of the cameras with the microphone, then I felt real excitement. At first, nothing came up, it seemed like a tragedy. In the eyes of Justin Milušauskas, the show producer, I was able to read the thoughts: “Oh, Lord, why did I think she could do it?”. Still, I calmed down quite quickly and with each show everything was getting better.”

Family and Personal Growth

Nomeda lived with her grandmother at age 11 while her parents lived elsewhere. She speaks of her mother’s struggles with dementia, the impact of war on her family, and the need for compassion and tolerance. She is also a strong proponent of euthanasia.

Relationships and Self-Love

Regarding relationships, Nomeda has found happiness with her partner, Vytas. She emphasizes the importance of an emotional connection and common interests in a relationship. She has learned the significance of self-love.

“Vytas is a person I am insanely interesting to listen to, I think he is. We are interesting to each other. Often people confuse sexual desire and love. Everything is important in the couple, but there must be an internal connection, friendship, common topics. And if only attachment remains, then the problem. Sometimes you seem to not like the other as you are. But in reality, if you can’t show yourself yourself, then it’s not worth starting a relationship.”
