#196 You say you want your dream life, but are you actually willing to do what it requires? In this episode, we’re challenging the idea that success should feel easy, perfectly balanced or constantly “aligned.” Because while you can manifest, journal, visualise and dream about the life you want… at some point, you actually have to do the work. We’re talking about the difference between wanting the outcome and being willing to do what it takes to get there, from building a successful business and becoming a creator, to getting fit, making money and creating the life you actually want. We get real about the influencer life people only see from the outside, Lily’s journey of realising she wasn’t working as hard as she thought she was, getting out of the victim mindset, comparing your starting point to someone else’s, and why being busy doesn’t always mean you’re moving forward. We also unpack the uncomfortable truth that hard work doesn’t guarantee success, life isn’t always fair, and sometimes being uncomfortable doesn’t mean you should stop. Because your dream life isn’t something you simply manifest. It’s something you build. And the question we want you to finish this episode asking yourself is: If I carried on being the person I am today, would I actually reach my goals? You say you want your dream life, but are you actually willing to do what it requires? Challenging the whole idea that success should feel easy, perfectly balanced, or constantly aligned. 2026 Notion template Raw Reality https://rawreality.com.au/ **https://rawreality.com.au/products/life-upgrade-system-notion-template** Between Us Connection Cards https://rawreality.com.au/products/between-us-cards?utm_source=copyToPasteBoard&utm_medium=product-links&utm_content=web Find us below: @rawreallity https://www.instagram.com/rawreallity?igsh=cjZlMzZsM2lva3hw @ttorisstory https://www.instagram.com/ttorisstory/ @fitwithlilyy https://www.instagram.com/fitwithlilyy/ Community Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/share/v3sbEonnywyvp1h7/

From opening her own salon at just 19 to stepping into the Love Island villa, Issy has already lived so many different chapters, and we’re getting into all of it. We chat about backing yourself as a young female founder, the realities of building a business, and turning setbacks into opportunities after her salon was broken into. Of course, we couldn’t have Issy on without unpacking her Love Island experience, from feeling misunderstood on the show to being dumped and Conor choosing to leave the villa with her. We also get into life after Love Island, travelling together, navigating how the world sees you, and making sure you never lose sight of who you are outside of what people see online. Issy’s story is a reminder that there is so much more to someone than what we see on our screens, and we can’t wait for you to get to know the girl behind the villa. 2026 Notion template Raw Reality https://rawreality.com.au/ **https://rawreality.com.au/products/life-upgrade-system-notion-template** Between Us Connection Cards https://rawreality.com.au/products/between-us-cards?utm_source=copyToPasteBoard&utm_medium=product-links&utm_content=web Find us below: @rawreallity https://www.instagram.com/rawreallity?igsh=cjZlMzZsM2lva3hw @ttorisstory https://www.instagram.com/ttorisstory/ @fitwithlilyy https://www.instagram.com/fitwithlilyy/ Community Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/share/v3sbEonnywyvp1h7/
We’re catching up on everything happening in our lives lately! From Tori’s mum life updates and late-night Glassons shopping to Lily’s wedding dress journey, wedding planning and trying to figure out if she wants a blue or burgundy phone, there’s a LOT to unpack. We’re also asking the big question: Is it normal or are we just weird? From accidentally stalking someone’s entire family on Instagram to making up fake scenarios in our heads and getting genuinely upset about them, we’re putting some of our most questionable habits to the test. Plus, we’re sharing this week’s recommendation and having a good old girls’ chat about everything in between. 2026 Notion template Raw Reality https://rawreality.com.au/ **https://rawreality.com.au/products/life-upgrade-system-notion-template** Between Us Connection Cards https://rawreality.com.au/products/between-us-cards?utm_source=copyToPasteBoard&utm_medium=product-links&utm_content=web Find us below: @rawreallity https://www.instagram.com/rawreallity?igsh=cjZlMzZsM2lva3hw @ttorisstory https://www.instagram.com/ttorisstory/ @fitwithlilyy https://www.instagram.com/fitwithlilyy/ Community Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/share/v3sbEonnywyvp1h7/

Rock climbing, bowling, surfing, hiking, tennis and more.Basically, another very real life update with a little bit of everything. 💌2026 Notion templateRaw Reality https://rawreality.com.au/**https://rawreality.com.au/products/life-upgrade-system-notion-template**Between Us Connection Cards https://rawreality.com.au/products/between-us-cards?utm_source=copyToPasteBoard&utm_medium=product-links&utm_content=webFind us below:@rawreallity https://www.instagram.com/rawreallity?igsh=cjZlMzZsM2lva3hw@ttorisstory https://www.instagram.com/ttorisstory/@fitwithlilyy https://www.instagram.com/fitwithlilyy/Community Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/share/v3sbEonnywyvp1h7/
