Can someone reach enlightenment while living a busy lifestyle inside society?

No. Sorry, not possible. Enlightenment is focusing inwards, you can’t be both focused inwards and outwards at the same time. The busy lifestyle inside the society will invariably disintegrate, if only temporarily, and the period of isolation is pretty much universal. You have to be ready for it. Once it’s complete, you can return to society but the society will no longer be a part of you.
