In this episode of What's the Point, I sit down with Noemi Beres, a woman whose life story is a powerful reflection of resilience, kindness, and purpose. From growing up in Hungary in a modest but deeply loving family, to becoming an entrepreneur, connector, and creative force, Noemi shares what keeps her going and how she discovered what truly matters.
Noemi opens up about her childhood, shaped by hardworking parents and the strong values of Eastern Europe. She shares how her family's history — stories of survival, perseverance, and hope — gave her the foundation to keep going, even when life became incredibly difficult. We talk about how moving between countries, cultures, and languages helped her understand how people find meaning and how deeply human connection shapes our sense of belonging.
Her entrepreneurial journey wasn't smooth or predictable. Noemi speaks openly about business failures, financial loss, and the shock of losing her travel business during the pandemic. But what stood out most was her unwavering belief in learning, growth, and living with purpose. When everything collapsed, she didn't quit — she adapted, learned, and built Podcast Connections, a business driven by genuine care and service.
We also explored the deeply human side of Noemi's story — losing her father, navigating grief, anxiety, and physical burnout, and ultimately discovering healing through art, silence, music, and presence. From her silent thinking sessions to her ASMR-style reading podcast, everything she creates comes from a desire to help people slow down, feel safe, and find meaning in their own lives.
This episode is a true human story of growth, compassion, and purpose — a reminder that discovering what matters isn't about perfection, but about kindness, self-awareness, and choosing to keep going even when life feels overwhelming.
