i couldn't think of a better analogy but imagine if the movie makers of sonic the hedgehog were ignorant to the critcism and released the original version. they listened to their audience and put enough effort to please the audience. surely we all know the aftermath. now i'm in no way trying to undermine lilly's hard work and her frustration. but maybe you should listen to ppl who's criticizing u, no matter if they're someone professional or someone who's from a "community". it just makes u look arrogant if u brush away all criticism as negativity, whether it's constructive or not

Ironically, her ignoring feedback coming from the audience was also one of the main criticisms. In hindsight I can see that she couldn't have fixed the show, simply didn't have the resources.

The hustle culture became so toxic... The reason why at one point I stopped watching Lillys content was because I felt so uncomfortable listening her promoting this obsessive overworking culture. Loved every moment of this interview!

I agree, I remember watching her when I was younger but my disconnect here was how she says sooo many ppl relied on her to show a communities experience but if I remember correctly on her way to the top she kept making her self a champion of those community and minorities so it’s kind of 50/50 for me, it’s the communities fault for thinking she was gonna capture it all and her for building her platform off of saying she was speaking for them, and she still does even in this interview rather than just saying her experience

So you didnt see the fake person really!

I got full body chills when Lilly spoke about her grandfather admitting the fact that he was wrong because this is a very rare phenomenon in Indian household (maybe once in a lifetime opportunity). I would give anything to experience first hand. I can relate to Lilly on so many levels. I'm an ambitious Indian queer(not out yet) teen who dreams of achieving many of these firsts in my family. This does puts a toll on me mentally and physically but the end goal is worth it. A good amount of people have their eyes on me and they are eagerly waiting to witness my failure and experience the satisfaction of their point being proven that I'm a lost cause. I get nervous & afraid often but I'm not ready to quit yet.

Interesting how Lily describes having unrealistic expectations projected on to her growing up, and then found her adult self in an environment where the same thing happened again (hosting the late night show). Human beings, and the subconscious mind, are fascinating. Great interview.

Ohhhh that was Soo profound! Her inability to forgive others is due to her inability to forgive herself. It resonated so much for me. Thanks for doing this interview to you both!

She has no self awareness.

I've always loved the unpretentious honest raw side of Lilly most, even more than the comedy. Seems like she's relaxing into being herself again and hope the world gives her many better opportunities to shine.

I’m less than 16 minutes in and I’m gripped! The amount of self-awareness by Lily (and Steven too) is heartening. “Believe in what you believe so much more than the hurt you feel”-such good stuff so early in the convo I’ve stopped to subscribe and share a comment.

Loved the last 7 minutes of this interview the most. I feel like so many of us just expect so much from others without any compassion for the fact that they may be on a learning curve. You can't just write people off, especially if they make honest attempts to make it right.

Ok this has to be the MOST unexpected guest on here but can’t wait to listen!

I appreciate her being so honest about the show. I watched it a few times and would cringe FOR her. You could just tell she wasn’t in her space. This interview was amazing - so much honesty. ❤️

What’s really interesting is seeing a different side of fame, we’ve hit a new generation where we can see a completely different side of the people we see on tv, people that used to be alien to us watching but now rather humanises them past fame. Love the podcast as always.

Totally identify with Lilly, when she was talking about how she felt she owed people to stay in KZread. I think this is something that gets most of everyone in their careers stuck and believe they should stick where they are because if not they are ungrateful or they don't deserve that change. She is such an inspiration for pushing through that and pivoting just as most successful people allow themselves to do that.

Enjoyed this one. She’s a complex person! Steven your interview technique is next level….slowly breaking down the barrage of content that comes at you to make sense of it all! Thanks. 👌

Thank you for your honesty and sincerity, Lilly. I didn't know how much of a toll this whole internet thing took on her. I'm glad she's using it to empower herself and I hope more people can understand what she's going through. She seems like a sweet person who just got lost in all her ambition and fame.

so interesting to hear lilly's thoughts and experience on the talk show! so much goes on behind the scene that we don't get to see. this was such an insightful episode.

As a woman of color creative and child of immigrants I got so much out of this deep conversation thank you. So inspired and challenged by the inner work Lilly has done to love herself and find purpose and meaning in her life

trust me I have watched hundreds of interviews of her but this one is so so unique! the host just brings out the soul out of a person. he's a gem. also, Lilly's energy here is so genuine and generous. this was some REAL TALK.

Lilly has been relatable ever since I started watching her content at 14 years old. Being raised in an asian family strict with accomplishments as one's value made me unconsciously "disruptive" when I realized that I never wanted to be perfect, getting the highest scores in school and everything. I lost my motivation when I lost the idea of being accepted by the family. But this woman still strives for perfection for her passion, she fails and gets up stronger than before. You've been a great inspiration in my life. So I do hope that regardless of all the bad criticisms you creators get, please know that there will always be someone in the world that gets inspiration from you and gets encouragement from your words and content. Hoping for more success for both of you ♥

Two people with the same wave length exploring how they learn, relearn and unlearn to evolve as a better version of themselves. Just loved the exchange.

Great conversation ! Loved re discovering her and seeing her growth !

this was such a real and raw interview, love seeing Lily on this level. She covered so many topics and points, so many people would not really have the guts to speak up on today!

Phenomenal interview! Loved how much honesty and vulnerability both of you brought. Bravo!

Lily paved the way for Hasan Minaj & Vir Das. She familiarised the west with Indians in a very relatable way.

I love the beginning where she speaks about breaking out of the patriarchal norms she was brought up and challenging the stereotypes against women that still exist today. It's not easy

She is an amazing motivational speaker. Im truly blessed to have watched this honest and well structured conversation

I appreciate the rawness of this episode. It felt like I was stepping into her life, her brain and how it works. Can relate to several thoughts and emotions. Thank you for sharing xoxo

Goodness gracious. This interview was so enriching, informative, and has possibly helped to begin untangle some things in my own life. Great interviewer and equally great interviewee. So refreshing to see the person behind the persona, especially of one of the earliest Superstars of the KZread generation. Would love a part two in a few years...

This was the BEST therapy session I could have ever had. Wow! Such a deep and vulnerable conversation. She explained things about myself that I needed to hear

I've been an avid subscriber of Lilly back in 2015 and I really admired her for her hustle. and ngl, she inspired me to be more like her. I met her at the KZread Fanfest back in 2017 and we only had a short interaction and it was super quick 'cause she was under the clock. but she and her team were super nice ❤ it's been a while since I've followed everything that Lilly does, and I'm glad you featured her here. it felt like catching up with an old friend. I definitely can see that she's more settled with herself now and not overcompensating like she seemed to do more in the past (just by comparing what she showed to the public at the time). this is such a refreshing conversation and I'm super glad about her progress and all her achievements 🤍

It's nice to hear from Lilly, I hadn't heard from her in a while...

Lilly’s evolving definition of success, through the recognition of Kali nature, leveraging the chip on her shoulder and applying grace instead of a spirit of entitlement…a gift to witness and nuggets to meditate on. Give thanks🙏🏾

This podcast has given me so much food for thought, loved every bit ❤️

It's crazy people just blamed her for the show not working. As if she was in control of everything. People doing all kinda of judging from behind their little phones. Listen Linda no one asked you.

All the failures and criticism has really humbled Lilly. She actually is bearable to listen to now when she isnt trying to entertain

I have been watching Lilly for a very long time probably over seven years. She was one of the first KZreadrs that I loved watching she was great when I was a kid. But then I grew up and just saw her everywhere media-wise and I never fully got to know her and her story. There was always that question mark of who she really is and who’s behind the whole front. and this episode was a bit eye-opening to how she operates and how she operated during her peak success so it was insightful and I have more respect for her. I think she has good ways to do things. I’m Indian myself and have a very similar background so she did disappoint me in that aspect when the show came out but this gives more explanation so good for you Lily.

Idk how I’m just coming across this. What a great conversation. Been a Lilly fan from the beginning and have grown along with her. Love the journey she’s taking us. 🙏🏼😉

I was one of those that switched off Lilly because of the show, and errr wow. Wow what perspective openness and truth. Thank you for being so honest and open, thank you to Steve for being a beacon. I’m learning so much about the human experience from this show.

Been a big fan of Lilly and her hustle since the beginnings of KZread, she was out there doin it 💪🏼 mad respect. She used to say in her vlogs that she was workin, and it showed. She was in fact superwomannnn, she always kept it so real with her lists of things to do you could tell she was working and making things happen which led to her show bc there are so many ppl on KZread that could have had a show and broke the wall from online to tv but she did it bc she is strong and open and hardworking and willing to make the sacrifices to accomplish things that other pole may have not been able to. She was the first woman from Canada, and woman from a background of Indian culture and woman from online who did the darn thing. Good on you Lilly, you a true hustler

I’m late but this was such a great interview , soo realistic and so important with regards to many facets of life, especially when it comes to parents and children expectations. Well done to you both and thank you!

I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation. Change is inevitable, growth is your choice. So happy to see her growth, and I'm exited to see what's next for her.

Such a phenomenal episode !! I‘ve been watching Lilly for years, and it’s fantastic to see her talk to so openly. It shows the amount of growth and personal work she’s gone through. The questions were also not only deep but framed in such a respectful and curious way to her craft and her as a person. Love this episode and wishing you both the best 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

i love her so much.. always someone i'll keep looking up to, from the early canada videos on yt to who she has become now i love seeing her grow and better herself while remaining a gentle and kind soul through it all. i truly wish her peace and happiness and the best for her. also being this open and vulnerable is not easy so props to her and steven for creating this amazing conversation

This video deserves more views! It’s so good, concise, genuine and deep

I like Lilly a lot, and loved her KZread channel, but her late night show was a mess. It did not showcase her talents; it was a disservice to her. She’s correct, I made up my mind after the first season, so I missed the improvements. It’s so nice to hear her explain what was going on. I’m happy to see her hit more successes! As always, an insightful interview.

WOW, what a captivating conversation this was! THANK YOU! Thank you Steven for the amazing questions and thank you Lilly for REALLY answering the questions, even the most uncomfortable ones for you with pure honesty!

I love lily Singh! I am Chinese and a daughter. I totally understand what you are saying. But I don’t think we ever say it out loud. I really appreciate how honest you are pointing out patriarchy in our family and our culture.

I don't know if she slowed down during the interview or if I got used to her relentless energy. glad she is getting to find places of calm with the breathing. I thoroughly enjoyed this and your entire series. thank you.

I love the fact that Lily is empathetic towards her parents

I've always loved hearing Lilly talk, you always learn and feel inspired. Love her, this was great ❤

Felt every second of the past 1h30 pretty deep♥️ thank you both♥️

Such a great episode full of value and honesty. It really made me reflect about my life. Thank you for that.

That’s why I don’t judge anyone because we are literally all trying to figure stuff out. I didn’t like the show but not because of the hate, I just happened to fall off of Lilly’s content around 2016~ because her comedy didn’t resonate w me anymore 😂 but I always had love for her. I’m going to admit that I did think she was trying too hard to be something she wasn’t and that’s why it fell flat for me i could sense that i mean everyone could see it but I just imagined her being nervous as hell and just trying her best to stay on script. if you’re reading please just be yourself mamas, take it easy you’re naturally funny and a beautiful soul!

1:00:32 very relatable. It is such a hard thing to realize you have never really thought about who you are, and what you want and love.

This interview spoke a lot of my worldview into words. She can articulate the importance of disruption so well.

I love everything about this interview!

Can’t believe you did an interview with Lilly - she is one of my biggest idols!! One of the things she said in the interview that really got me was “you can’t expect to grown without change”. Just wow!! Loved every second of this podcast!

This is so incredibly relatable and well put. The core of becoming a better person begins with self-reflection and accountability, and I think it’s amazing how Lily explained her struggles that stemmed from her upbringing and how she overcame generational trauma and expectations. What an inspiring podcast!! 🥹🫶🏼

God I love Lilly!!!!!!!! Her vulnerability and honesty is inspiring and contagious 💜💜💜

Thank you Steven! There were times I kept a distance from Lilly as I couldn't understand what she was trying to do. This video gave much clarity and I am glad, true Lilly is still in there, growing and teaches us to be a work in progress.

You are such an inspiration Lily! I love your voice! You are so refreshing! I wish you growth and success with anything you do in your life!

As much as I respect her achievements and accolades and there is much to be impressed about....she is still operating from a glass that is half full....which is perfectly understandable. She has never gotten over the fact that at birth, she was not welcomed by every member of her family. Even now, as a successful adult she is championing perfection to the ninth degree. I wish her peace of mind and senerity as she moves through her life.

I absolutely love this woman! Been a fan since start, watched her going through ups and downs and navigating this rather judgemental world of social media. More power to you lily! And thanks Steven for bringing her on!

Thank you both for this gift. Truly extraordinary ❤

I also realized during the pandemic that everything I created, who I became (labels, personality, and all) was created based off my surroundings and conforming or people pleasing. That's a tough pill to swallow. I still operate that way in many ways subconsciously or when I don't have the energy to handle the consequences of rebelling, but I appreciate the drastic shift at the time that has led me to create smaller daily actions that are making me the person I am today.

oh my god... couldn't watch it beyond @53:00 mins. having existential crisis already... it is a good video and I will return to it. but she is making me question every thing and every aspect of my life. all my life I spent so time to please other people that now I'm worried about my self.

Lilly strikes me as the type of individual that is neurodivergent. So much of what she says, I can relate to. In the way her mind works and the way, she operates as a person. I questioned for so many years, why am I different? why am I like this? I found out I have ADHD last year lmao. Even if Lilly isn't neurodivergent, she's definitely someone that's the prototype in her family line. She's the cycle breaker, she sees beyond her conditioning and actually wants to ask and answer the greater questions about purpose.

Maaaan soooo many gems on this interview. this is my fav so far!! also its my 2nd interview I'm watching on this channel

this is such a lovely episode, so nice to see lily as lily!💜 good on her for being honest about not taking other opinions seriously from others, on something they don't know what they are talking about. I don't think that is rude, that was being truthful.

It’s good but also not because he doesn’t love her for who she is but what she became , had she not done all she did, he would not have acknowledged her still so no.

I watched Lilly back in the day but then grew out of her content when it became the same jokes over and over and just a bit young for me. I didn't hear about her again until years later when she had her late night show and all the memes, commentary videos and then when she got cancelled on twitter. Not gonna lie I did find her majorly cringey for a while but it's nice to see she recognises her faults and she's doing the work to become better. Amazing interview as always!!!

I have NEVER related to a guest more, esp regarding the part “why are you wired to be so disruptive”. It is so infuriating being the one who automatically steps in to “fix” /be the one in the fam to go against the grain. It’s something you can’t fully explain and it is a TIRING process to reach a state of acceptance with it. For years I have been called stubborn, stubborn and reacted badly out of being stubborn. But I know deep down , knowing the possibility of change is what drives me.

I got goosebumps hearing about how her great grandfather greeted her in India. “Progress comes from making disruptions”

Heavy on the creativity was a phase! I thought it was something you do in a pastime, so glad I've realised I can do it full-time.

Lilly, such an incredible woman, intelligent and so articulate. I can listen to her forever. Thanks for such a deep and veru volnurable interview.

This was a very thought provoking episode. I’m surprised to hear she was cancelled for a genuine error in a situation she was clearly misaligned with, whereas Jay Shetty who deliberately plagiarised wasn’t.

This woman is very wise. I could listen to her for hours and not get bored.

Lily you are incredible and I'm rooting for you, STILL.

She shared a lot of typical sentiments growing up in an Indian home. Constantly policed, watched, disciplined and criticized.

I loved this conversation. So proud to see someone that looks like me have such an open and honest conversation about therapy, success and failures and how she coped through it all

Completely in denial. 'Most shows are allowed multiple seasons to find their feet'......completely untrue. 95% of shows don't even make it to television, and 95% of the shows that do get a first season don't get second. 'It's difficult for minorities'.....says the lady whose show was based mainly on her ethnicity and sexuality, and despite how mind-bogglingly awful the first season was, was STILL given a second season. If anything it sounds like privilege.

Brilliant, fantastic woman. I didn’t know she did a late night show I go to bed too early. 😂 so glad she works on constant evolution and learning. Much more happiness and success to come for you Lily!

I followed Lilly from early youtube days. I could see she was not comfortable and enjoying the first season. It was not nice to watch her go through that agony. The second season was really fun and enjoyable. I will always be a fan. All the best with all your future plans. ❤

Hi everyone! Well what can I say. I'm in my 60s but I thought Lilly conversation was great. At first I couldn't keep up with her energy, I felt out of breathe. When the interview finished I had a smile on my face. Believe it or not I could relate to quiet a few things. Sometimes I think we expect others to be like carbon copies of ourselves. Thank you both. Steve would you invite me to your show even though I live in Ceuta, Spain. I'm English from Widnes 🙄😂

I had heard her name, but had no idea who she is and what she's done. This is a wonderful introduction.

Wow surprised to see an indian women here…someone who who represents me. Great to see steven xxxx

One of the few conversations I like to come back to , so many jewels in this one

I just don't want to stop listening to her!

Sis is hosting the Oscars, she is doing just fine without KZread 🙌

I also noticed how "shameful" it became to fail. I'm not talking about the "I failed then I succeeded", no just a simple plain fail. What's so wrong about a human trying something and failing at it???? What's so horrendous about it????

This completely changed my view of her. Especially her talking about the constraints placed on her late night show.
