Live Wild

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 consistently
The difference between hustle-driven effort and intentional presence
14.4 minutes – why 1% of your day can change everything
Rest as regulation, not reward
The nervous system and rebuilding self-trust
The four pillars of showing up: Body, Nourish, Choose and Live
Small daily actions that create long-term change
Presence over productivity

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 relationships
The modern loneliness epidemic and why connection matters more than ever
Confidence, self-worth and why dating can quietly challenge both
Feeling “behind” in love and the pressure of missed milestones
Why loneliness can exist even within relationships
Dating myths, red flags and love bombing in modern dating culture
Slowing down, boundaries and protecting your nervous system while dating
Communication, consistency and why actions matter more than words
What actually makes relationships last, friendship, chemistry and shared values
