    #53 Change - Moving With What’s Already Shifting

    Change is something we say we want… until we start to feel it. In this solo episode, Hilary Rose reflects on the subtle but powerful shifts that come with this time of year. As we move into spring, there’s a natural sense of forward motion - in nature and within ourselves. But even when change is needed, it can still feel uncomfortable, because it asks us to let go of what’s familiar. This episode is a gentle reminder that nothing in life stays the same. Our thoughts, energy, relationships and desires are always evolving. And often, the discomfort we feel isn’t because something is wrong - it’s because we’re resisting something that’s already trying to shift. Hilary invites you to approach change with curiosity instead of control. To notice where life might already be moving you forward, even in small, quiet ways. Because change isn’t something happening to you - it’s something happening for you. Key topics discussed Why change can feel uncomfortable, even when it’s neededLetting go of familiarity and embracing uncertaintyThe connection between nature, seasons and personal growthMoving with change instead of resisting itThe power of small, subtle shiftsAsking: what is this moment trying to show me?____ Key Links Watch Hilary’s TEDx Talk here.

    #52 Niall Breslin - Singer, Songwriter & Mental Health Advocate

    In this episode of Live Wild, Hilary Rose is joined by Niall Breslin (Bressie) for a powerful conversation on mental health, creativity and the systems shaping how we live. Niall shares how creativity has been central to his life - not just as an outlet, but as a way of understanding problems and navigating the world. Together, they explore loneliness, community, and why so much of what we label as “mental health issues” is deeply connected to the environments we live in. This episode challenges the idea of “fixing” individuals and instead asks bigger questions about society, connection and how we care for each other. Key topics we discuss: Why creativity is more than art - it’s a way of thinking and solving problemsThe limitations of current mental health systems and the need for reformEarly intervention and prevention as the future of mental health careLoneliness, disconnection and the illusion of online connectionThe impact of modern culture, capitalism and individualism on wellbeingWhy community and human connection are essential for mental healthThe difference between positivity and optimismGrief, emotional expression and learning to feel rather than avoidThe role of creativity as a coping tool and emotional outletWhy we need to move away from “fixing” individuals and look at wider systems  You can find Niall here: Website | Live Shows | Instagram | LinkedIn | Music on Spotify | YouTube ____ Key Links Watch Hilary’s TEDx Talk here.

    #50 The Quiet Courage of Showing Up

    Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is take one small step forward. In this solo episode, Hilary Rose reflects on the seasonal shift from winter into spring - a reminder that life, like nature, moves in cycles. After periods of rest or reflection, there often comes a quiet moment when something inside us feels ready to move again. Showing up doesn’t have to mean dramatic change. It might simply be sending the email, opening the notebook, making the call or beginning the idea that has been quietly waiting. Spring doesn’t ask us to bloom instantly. It simply invites us to begin. Key topics we discuss: The seasonal nature of energy, rest and growthLetting go of pressure to reinvent yourself overnightThe power of small steps forwardRebuilding trust in yourselfAsking: what is one small way I can show up for myself this week? ____ Key Links Watch Hilary’s TEDx Talk here.

    #49 A Voice Note to Myself

    When the world feels unsteady, the scared part of you gets louder. This solo episode is a voice note - to Hilary’s inner child, and maybe to yours too. A gentle reminder that anxiety in uncertain times isn’t weakness, it’s a nervous system doing its job. You don’t need to fix anything. You don’t need to be braver, stronger or more positive. You just need reassurance. This episode is about staying with yourself when things feel overwhelming. About becoming the calm, steady presence you once needed. You don’t have to feel better after listening. You just have to know you’re not alone. Key topics we discuss: Why uncertainty activates the nervous systemAnxiety as a biological response, not a personal failureInner child reassurance and self-soothingBecoming your own steady presenceStaying grounded when life feels chaotic ____ Key Links Watch Hilary’s TEDx Talk here.

    #48 You Can’t Show Up If You’re Shut Down by Hilary Rose

    You can be doing everything right… and still feel completely disconnected. In this solo episode, Hilary Rose explores why being busy and productive isn’t the same as being present. When your nervous system is in survival mode, clarity, creativity and connection are hard to access. This is a gentle invitation to stop overriding your body and start listening to it. If showing up feels difficult, it’s not a failure – it’s information. Through the simple idea of giving yourself 1% of your day, just 14.4 minutes, Hilary encourages you to pause, notice what’s happening internally, and begin rebuilding self-trust through small, honest choices. Showing up isn’t about productivity. It’s about presence. Key topics we discuss: Why you can’t show up when your nervous system is in survival modeThe difference between being physically present and truly thereOverriding the body and calling depletion “normal”1% of your day - why 14.4 minutes mattersSlowing down and noticing physical cues in the bodySelf-trust as small, honest course correctionsAsking better questions: What do I need? Where is my body saying no?Choosing how you want your life to feel, not just how it looksCreating space and safety instead of forcing productivity____ Key Links Watch Hilary’s TEDx Talk here.

    #47 The Art of Showing Up by Hilary Rose

    Showing up isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about arriving as you are - especially on the days when you’d rather not. In this solo episode, Hilary Rose explores what it really means to show up for yourself in a world that constantly pulls your attention elsewhere. This is not about hustle, discipline or 5am routines. It’s about something far simpler and far more powerful - presence. Hilary introduces the idea that 1% of your day is just 14.4 minutes. Not an hour. Not a transformation plan. Just 14.4 minutes of intentional showing up. Through personal insight and practical reflection, she breaks down how small, consistent acts of self-leadership build self-trust, regulate the nervous system and shift the way we move through our lives. This episode is a reminder that you don’t need to be confident, clear or perfectly motivated to begin. You just need to stop abandoning yourself. Key topics we discuss: Why most people struggle to show up consistentlyThe difference between hustle-driven effort and intentional presence14.4 minutes – why 1% of your day can change everythingRest as regulation, not rewardThe nervous system and rebuilding self-trustThe four pillars of showing up: Body, Nourish, Choose and LiveSmall daily actions that create long-term changePresence over productivity ____ Key Links Watch Hilary’s TEDx Talk here.

    Love, dating and relationships touch every part of our lives, yet so many of us are navigating them without a map. In this episode of Live Wild, relationship coach Frances Kelleher joins Hilary Rose for an honest, insightful and deeply practical conversation about modern dating, loneliness, self-worth and what actually makes relationships last. Frances shares how early love stories shaped by fairy tales and Hollywood can quietly influence our expectations, why loneliness has become a global health issue, and how confidence, not perfection, is often the missing piece in dating. Together, they unpack common dating myths, red flags, love bombing, boundaries, and the importance of slowing down in a fast-paced, app-driven world. This episode offers reassurance, clarity and real tools for anyone who has ever felt stuck, discouraged or confused when it comes to love. Key topics we discuss: How early love stories and fairy tales shape our expectations of relationshipsThe modern loneliness epidemic and why connection matters more than everConfidence, self-worth and why dating can quietly challenge bothFeeling “behind” in love and the pressure of missed milestonesWhy loneliness can exist even within relationshipsDating myths, red flags and love bombing in modern dating cultureSlowing down, boundaries and protecting your nervous system while datingCommunication, consistency and why actions matter more than wordsWhat actually makes relationships last, friendship, chemistry and shared values You can find Frances here: Website | Instagram | Facebook  ____ Key Links Watch Hilary’s TEDx Talk here.
