Lily Schubert is a Sydney-based content creator, writer and keynote speaker known for combining visual storytelling with emotional honesty.

Across TikTok, her Substack good light, media and live speaking, Lily’s work explores what it means to live with uncertainty, recover a sense of self, and find beauty after life changes shape.

After becoming unwell at sixteen and spending six years largely bedbound with severe myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and related conditions, Lily began sharing her lived experience online. Her story of illness, loss, resilience and returning to life has resonated with a growing audience of more than 70,000 people, opening up conversations about chronic illness, identity, hope and what it means to rebuild after life changes unexpectedly.

Today, Lily speaks to schools, conferences, organisations, media platforms and community audiences across Sydney, NSW and Australia. Her talks draw on lived experience to explore resilience, self-compassion, adversity, mental health, disability, identity and the courage it takes to keep going when life does not unfold as planned.

Lily is known for her candid videos on TikTok, where she shares her daily life and reflections on living after years of illness. Her work has been featured across national media and advocacy platforms, and she is an Ambassador for Emerge Australia, using her platform to raise awareness of ME and the broader experience of living with long-term health challenges.

Across her speaking, writing and content, Lily brings warmth, honesty and emotional clarity to subjects that are often difficult to articulate. Her work helps audiences feel seen, encourages empathy, and offers a grounded perspective on strength, uncertainty and beginning again.
