Your Dream Life Won't Look Like You Thought It Would | Pleasure & Power Recoded - Episode 3

In this episode, Liz and Lucy reflect on their past definitions of success—definitions shaped by societal expectations, external validation, and achievement. They explore how these old narratives influenced their life choices, careers, and sense of self-worth. Both speak vulnerably about periods in their lives when, on paper, things looked “successful,” yet inwardly they felt deeply disconnected—from themselves, from joy, and from any real sense of freedom. It was this inner disconnection that led to emotional pain and ultimately became the catalyst for spiritual reconnection. Together, they reflect on how, even though their current lives look very different from what they once imagined “success” would be, they feel more alive, grounded, and fulfilled than ever before. Their dream lives didn’t unfold how they thought they would—but they turned out to be even more beautiful, real, and connected.
