Summary — End of The Season! (Ep. 20)

Host: Lily (Lilythrewthatorange)

Overview

This short episode is a personal announcement: Lily is pausing the Orange Tree podcast for a temporary break to focus on personal and professional growth. She explains why she’s stepping away, what she hopes to accomplish, and encourages listeners to pursue authenticity and purpose while she’s gone.

Key points & main takeaways

  • This is a planned, temporary hiatus — not drama or a sudden crisis.
  • Lily is 22 and feels she’s still growing; she wants time to study, reflect, and mature so she can offer better advice and content.
  • She intends to improve the podcast’s production (finding an editor, better cover art, better editing) before returning.
  • Growth is ongoing — “you don’t stop” maturing; milestones change your problems (new levels, new devils).
  • Authenticity matters: be less filtered, resist the overly polished/artificial social media culture and AI-driven perfection.
  • She encourages listeners to actively seek purpose, explore life options, and be unapologetically themselves.
  • Lily remains available via DMs/texts for listeners who want advice or to connect.

Notable quotes & insights

  • “I don’t think you stop growing up whatsoever.”
  • “New levels, new devils.”
  • “I live three months at a time.”
  • “Wake up with a purpose every single day.”
  • “Everything is washed to perfection… go out there. Be authentic.”
  • “My 36 loyal listeners, I love you.” (shows intimate, small-but-engaged audience)

Topics discussed

  • Personal development and maturity
  • Reasons for a podcast hiatus
  • Podcast production challenges (editing is time-consuming)
  • Life transitions and decision-making (multiple paths/options ahead)
  • Social media behavior and authenticity
  • Encouragement to pursue purpose and self-discovery
  • Availability for listener support via DMs/text

Action items & recommendations

For Lily (host)

  • Pause podcast temporarily to study, reflect, and decide next steps.
  • Hire or find an editor to handle production work.
  • Improve cover art and overall editing quality for the relaunch.

For listeners

  • Follow Lily on social media for updates (note: posts may not be timeline-accurate).
  • Message or text Lily if you want to keep in touch or need advice.
  • Use this time to reflect and pursue personal growth: explore beliefs, consider big moves if needed, cut toxic relationships, and cultivate your unique quirks.
  • Aim to “wake up with a purpose” and practice authenticity in a filtered/AI-driven world.

Closing

Lily plans to return with a stronger, better-produced show. She thanks her listeners, offers continued personal support via messages, and urges everyone to keep growing and living authentically while she’s away.
