About Live Wild

Welcome to the Live Wild Podcast with IFTA nominated Irish actor, Hilary Rose (https://www.instagram.com/thehilaryrose/). 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 (http://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 (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.

   #56 Is Laughter the Best Medicine?

   What if laughter is more than just entertainment? What if it’s survival, connection and healing? In this solo episode of Live Wild, Hilary Rose reflects on the deeper role humour has played in her life - not just as someone who works in comedy, but as someone who has genuinely needed it through difficult times. From growing up with Irish humour as a form of connection and coping, to working in comedy across The Young Offenders, sketch shows and live performance, Hilary explores why laughter matters so much - especially during hard seasons of life. This episode dives into the emotional, cultural and even physiological impact of laughter. From nervous system regulation and stress relief to collective healing and human connection, Hilary shares why comedy may be far more powerful than we often realise. Because sometimes laughter isn’t about avoiding pain - it’s about helping us carry it. Key topics discussed Why humour is deeply rooted in Irish culture Comedy as a coping mechanism and survival tool The connection between laughter and the nervous system How laughter helps regulate stress and release tension Why people laugh most during difficult times The healing power of shared laughter and connection Hilary’s reflections on working in comedy and The Young Offenders Why laughter might be one of the oldest tools we have ____ Key Links Watch Hilary’s TEDx Talk here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9HAXNRSzE4).

   #55 Nourish & Flow Festival 2026: RestFest - Rest, Recharge & Renew

   What would it feel like to truly switch off… and be held for a weekend? In this special episode of Live Wild, Hilary Rose is joined by Wendy Riordan, founder of the Nourish & Flow Festival, for a beautiful conversation about rest, connection and creating space to come back to yourself. Nourish & Flow is a women-only, festival-style retreat designed to feel both expansive and deeply grounding. With over 100 women gathering in a peaceful, nature-filled setting, the weekend blends wellness workshops, movement, rest and community - all without pressure or expectation. Wendy shares the intention behind the festival, from removing rigid schedules to allowing women the freedom to follow what they need in the moment - whether that’s a sauna, a workshop, or simply doing nothing at all. Together, Hilary and Wendy explore what makes this experience so unique: the sense of safety, the depth of connection, and the quiet, powerful shifts that can happen when you give yourself permission to pause. This is a conversation about rest that isn’t forced, growth that isn’t pressured, and the magic that happens when women come together without expectation. Key topics we discuss: What Nourish & Flow Festival is and what makes it different Creating space for rest, freedom and choice The power of community and connection between women Why there’s no pressure to “perform” or have breakthroughs The balance between workshops, movement and true rest Going alone vs coming with friends - and why both work The evolution of the festival and its intentional growth How small, subtle experiences can create lasting change To find out more or buy your tickets today, go to nourishandflow.ie (http://nourishandflow.ie) You can find Wendy here: Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/nourishandflow.ie/?hl=en) ____ Key Links Watch Hilary’s TEDx Talk here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9HAXNRSzE4).
