As a new year begins, this special episode of Live Wild takes a moment to pause, breathe and reflect. Hosted by Hilary Rose, this end-of-year episode revisits the ten most listened-to conversations of 2025 - moments that challenged beliefs, cracked hearts open, invited rest, sparked courage and stayed with listeners long after the microphones were turned off. Rather than rushing into resolutions or what’s next, this episode honours what has already been lived. Across wellness, mental health, relationships, identity, embodiment and meaning, these ten moments capture what it means to be human in a modern world, and why slowing down to reflect is sometimes the most powerful place to begin. Whether you’ve been part of the Live Wild community from the start or you’re just discovering the podcast now, this episode is an invitation to revisit the conversations that shaped the year and resonated most deeply with listeners.
