Live Wild

Hilary Rose

Welcome to the Live Wild Podcast with IFTA nominated Irish actor, Hilary Rose. Hilary is best known for her role as Mairead in the hit film and TV series, The Young Offenders. In her private life Hilary is an adventurer and lover of living wild and free in a modern world. Her blog www.livewild.ie was well received which led to the production of this podcast. Hilary interviews people from all walks of life, specially those who live and work outside the normal boundaries of society, those who are passionate about what they do, what they stand for and those who think outside the box. Note from Hilary: Welcome to the first and second season of Live Wild. I'm so excited to share it with you all. I love all things wild from the food that I eat, to the thoughts that I think, to the actions that I take in the world. Freedom is a choice and it all begins within ourselves. Sometimes all it takes is a different viewpoint or a snippet of knowledge to set your lifestyle on an entirely different but extremely satisfying path. Hopefully some of these interviews will inspire you to do just that. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    #46 Frances Kelleher - Ireland’s #1 Dating & Relationship Expert

    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.

    #41 The Rest Manifesto by Hilary Rose

    In this powerful solo episode, Hilary Rose shares The Rest Manifesto, a deeply personal reflection on healing, nervous system recovery and reclaiming rest in a world that rewards exhaustion. This episode is not about laziness or giving up, but about rehabilitation after years of surviving, bracing and pushing through. It’s an invitation to soften, slow down and listen to the body’s wisdom. Through poetic language and honest truth, Hilary reframes fatigue as evidence of resilience, rest as an act of courage, and softness as survival reimagined. The Rest Manifesto speaks to anyone who has lived in fight-or-flight, mistaken productivity for worth, or felt disconnected from their own needs. It is a reminder that healing happens at the pace of trust, and that rest is not something to earn, but something to honour. Thank you for listening to this episode. If The Rest Manifesto resonated, you’re invited to sit with it, return to it, and take what you need from it, gently. ____ Key Links Watch Hilary’s TEDx Talk here.
