- Опубліковано 5 жов 2022
- This is an incredible conversation about fear, risk resilience, adventure and potential. It’s about balancing the pull of adventure against her responsibilities as a single mom to two boys. It’s about the allure of the outdoors. But mostly, this is an exchange about the virtues of placing yourself outside your comfort zone - and what that can teach us about potential, the preciousness of life, and what it means to be truly alive. Re-released as a tribute to Hilaree, this is episode 364 from 2018. For more, click here 👉🏾bit.ly/richroll364

Funny it was episode 364.... I believe she leaves with less "undones" than most of us... Rest In Power!!!
My first response is I feel horrible for her children, but then I realize it was her life. It is not up to me to judge her choices. Sure seemed like an incredible person. Certainly lived a life full of experience. Rest in peace you beautiful soul.
Wonderfully said ❤️🙏
ill say it for you, its selfish as fuck and you know it, now the kids get to suffer not her,,,,,why am I even watching this interview of someone I don't respect ,
I really appreciate this comment. My heart dies when I think of her kids and it hurts to think of her not being here any longer but yeah, it was her life.
when you have kids parents give up things for themselves...that’s what parenting is. You give to your kids. And now she’s not here to enjoy them! I don’t get it.
Triste 🙏
Rich - this is one of my favorite podcasts of yours. You have the beautiful ability to create a space of comfort, ease, and warmth for your guests. Hiraree's passion, drive, and enthusiasm are infectious for life. I have watched this episode numerous times as ot always motivates me to go after my dreams. ❤
I read her partner lost his wife and kids in a plane crash in 2011. Then to have this happen is also incredibly sad.
Whoa. That is deeply profound.
Omg..... Awful 😢
How horrible for him then to lose Hillaree. My blessings are with him and her two sons.
It is really sad he’s had two tragedies however risk takers sort of set themselves up for these accidents. I think his first wife was a pilot. So there’s that risk always. Sad but true I will follow his journey here forward.
I feel for these children who lost both parents for an optional experience. I personally feel that risk should be assessed differently when you have young children. R.I.P. and prayers for her children. 🙏🏽
You said it perfectly and kindly. 💕
Why both parents? Jim Morrison is alive (and not the father of her kids) and I think her ex-husband Brian O’Neill was not on this trip...
@@laurelledubois Thank you for the correction on that point. I thought Jim also perished and was the father of her children. However, it still remains a tragic loss for her children.
Well, like she said, struggle and difficulties teaches resilency. I see so many women my age sort of lost with grandkids their only focus. Her sons are old enough to be independent since she seems to have prepared them. Tragic, true, but what a great example, and they have others to help them get through life. Americans (US) could use a bit more struggle to deepen our ability to get through obstacles which arise out of the blue. May those in our country who are depressed because they have never learned how to deal, may they discover themselves, and find some peace.
@@naomiroyle9637 bullshit, humans need their parents their entire life. She was addicted to adventure. Her addiction was stronger than her love for her children. When you have children your life is not your own.
WoW! They died REALLY LIVING...what an amazing light to navigate by. Rest in peace
I heard about her passing last week and I immediately went to your podcast and listened to this episode. Thank you so much Rich. She was such an inspiration.
Beautiful and heart touching tribute. 💜 RIP to her.🙏
I was platonically in love with her. Never met, but her love for life and adventure was something like no other.
True legend, not a poser, and beauty for the ages.
Much love beautiful soul.
So many of Rich's comments and questions are spot on. He has an amazing ability to invite people in and to take a seat.❤
Rich, your calmness is infectious. Keep changing lives.
Inspiring human and great conversation. May she travel well into the next chapter 〰
Thank you Rich for your wonderful words. So sorry for her loved ones ❣️
Mr. Roll, beautiful words for a tragic loss. 🙏🏾
Thanks for re-sharing, I'd heard of her passing but didn't know of all that she had accomplished. She certainly lived a full amazing life and seemed like a wonderful warm person. She did more in her life than I can possibly imagine, and more than most will see or do in many lifetimes.
This reminds me of the tragedy that frequently occurs during the Isle so Man races. Those riders live in a way most of us will never understand.
❤😢❤ I’m inspired by her life and sending love to her family.
I first became aware of her through you Rich.
Since then I’ve gotten much more into snowboarding and mountaineering and that led me to become more familiarized with Hilaree. She was a freakin badass. I’m thankful to have experienced her.
R.I.P. What a great interview with a great human being. Thank you for reposting this great interview and for the way you honor and remember her Rich.
What a beautiful woman , much love to her family and friends at this time. Love these programs now that I have found them. THANK YOU ❤️ 🌄
What a beautiful soul who lived an amazing life! RIP Hilaree 💔
What an extraordinary life. So young at only 49. This a wonderful tribute. May she always be remembered. RIP Hillary.
Rest in power, dear sister.
This is hands down after watching hundreds of episodes, my favorite of them all. 🙌♥️
She passed doing what she loved ❤my brother was a pilot and loved it and passed flying a plane he built ❤
Wow. That’s bittersweet.
Rich "none of us are promised a tomorrow." True, but you are less likely to see a tomorrow if you're extreme skiing on the world's tallest mountains, regardless of how much you love it. People die and get seriously hurt trying to climb Everest and other mountains. I think of her children. I lost a parent at about the same age they are and I know how difficult that is. This was a risk she did not have to take.
28 minutes into this interview she answers the why? Rip lady. Thank you rich. ✌🏽❤
Thank you for sharing Hilaree's story, may the blessings return return return as the tides. What a special adventurous soul *
Thanks for this interview. As a aspiring female ski mountaineer Hilaree is such a inspiration. I find myself thinking of her alot and the passionate life she led. It makes me think about how I also want to live with passion and purpose. Rest in peace Hilaree🙏
What a beautiful human being. Respect. And such a great interview. Thank You. 🙏🏻
Thanks for replaying this. She was an incredible human.
Amazing human - God bless - as you say Rich ‘None of us are guaranteed a tomorrow’ 🙏
What an amazing person and perspective on life she had. Ty for sharing this with us all RR!
Thank you for honoring her in such a lovely way.❤
R.I.P. Hilaree Nelson. 🌹
Wow... Hadnt heard this one when it originally came out. What a force of life she was! I hung on every word! So sorry to hear of her accident and for her friends and family and esp her children. Rich-Thank for resharing-beautiful tribute to her life and legacy! 💔💔💔
She was and is a hero to me. 😔
I’m sorry for your loss.
Virginia Woolf talks about the difference in how women storytell and what details and values are perceived as relevant and important; Just the way Hilaree holds so closely the experience of the dissolution of her team is an example of this difference. I hope her family finds peace and pride. What a marvel of a person. She has an air of Demi Moore about her profile. She's laid a big brick in the path of self-realization through courage for everyone, especially for us guardians of the flame. Beautiful idea to pay tribute, Rich.
This is one of my favorite podcasts that encompasses the true meaning of life and living. Thank you for the replay. I didn’t know that I have missed any of your podcast but this had so many elements to it that , for me, it fulfilled and nourished my thoughts.
I love that you love your friends!!! And honor them.
Beautiful tribute Rich.
That was an excellent interview. Thank you. We were lucky enough to meet Hilaree as she would join her family on the old Chris Craft her parents still own and come into a marina we managed. She was always so kind and interesting. She shared stories of her adventures but she was also very interested in hearing about ours. We were so sad to hear about her passing. She has a very nice family and partner. She was a special person and I’m grateful to have crossed paths with her.
I watched this twice. What a beautiful life🧡Rich u were awesome too.🕊
What a joy to be part of two highly functioning human beings exchanging downloads of their lives. I’m very sad that Hilaree is no longer in the 3D but her massive presence while she was here gives me hope for mankind. Thank you Rich for your eloquent, sincere tribute to her. Namaste my friend🦋
I am re watching / listening to this interview for maybe the 5th or 6th time. Hilaree's passion, voice, and tone is so motherly, and inspiring to me. I was in an 18 year relationship that recently ended. I am realizing my faults and how i failed my partner. Rich- thank you.
Incredible skill to ski that type of terrain. Really enjoyed, thank you . The lure of the mountains. Very sad indeed at only 49. 😢
All I can say is, "Wow, what a thoughtful, fantastic interview with Hilaree!" Thanks so much for re-posting and sharing with us. A real tragedy that she has passed, but what a great tribute to who she was as a person. One of my favorite women mentors and feel so grateful to have found this. Helping me deal with her passing for sure! Thank you!
Great interviewing, Rich. She had a literal worldview most could not, and it's apparent in how she conveys herself and talks about her life and choices.
Wonderful interview, thank you.
Really good interview, questions were very thoughtful. Being a mountaineer and a woman with kids, very much related. Thanks for the tribute. She was quite a woman💜
Incredible interview. Super human woman. May she rest in paradise. 🏔🕊
Beautiful tribute Rich. This will further focus my hopes and dreams to LIVE. ❤
Well said. I too hope and dream to live more passionately.
Life affirming. RIP Legend
Two great people. Great IntervIew. May Hilaree R.I.P.
Thanks Rich.
💙 What an incredible person.
What I love about the Rich Roll podcast is I can get a glimpse into his guests to see who I want to find on another podcast with a host that doesn't constantly interrupt them.
❤️may her soul rest in peace-beautiful human:)my heart is saddened,because of her kids❤
Beautiful talk with her
Beautiful Tribute to a truly inspirational 💜💜human RIP
Very sad , 🙏🏻 big hug for a family and her children
Thank you. 😭
RIP our beloved Hilaree. You will always be missed.
🌻 for Hilaree
What a beautiful interview.....R.I.P. Hilaree....
May her soul rest in peace !♡
What an inspiration!
A beautiful tribute Rich for an amazing woman who lived an adventurous life to the max. So sad 😞
It's always sad when young children lose a mom or dad.
mandatory listening...no more no less!!!
Awesome energy.
Excellent. Ty.
Safe travels, Hilaree.
So sad. Thank you for re-sharing this interview!
She clearly was an adequate mother for her children regardless of her length of time on this planet. A legend for future athletes and environmentalists for generations.
❤
I'm so sorry Rich...she truly was an incredible human and will be sadly missed. She lived life to the fullest...
He knew her for a few hours --- your loss is probably as great as his.
I also was born in 1972 .....I have not climbed Mt Everest, I think the hike to the first Base Camp would be my goal and to see Everest in real life. She definitely lived life.
I lost my best friend Oct. 8th 2022 in the Mount Baker area. I was alone with my 25 year old best friend and a rotted tree hit her. It was a freak accident. I barely escaped myself. We were not extreme like Hilaree but our whole world was the outdoors. My friend Kathy passed in the great Outdoors doing what she loved to do and passed instantly rather than suffer. I understand a loss and the road back is different for everyone. RIP Hilaree and I know my friend Kathy is at peace.
@shelia’sgonehiking Sorry for your loss. RIP!
Wow! What an amazing woman, what an amazing life. But, I do what to say something about adrenaline, endorphins and addiction. I understand.
I grew up in So. California between the waves and the mountains and they both called out to me, sometimes in the same day. I spent he next decade skiing the Rockies, the Wasatch and the Sierras before moving to Hawaii. I traveled the continents alone with a backpack to places that are now off limits to U.S. citizens.
While surfing with friends, I experienced a [fear] that I’d never, ever felt before having just learned a few days earlier that my wife was pregnant with our first child and that my life was no longer my own. I stopped taking [those] kinds of risk on that day.
I’ve lost a few risk taker friends along the way. For those of us who are adrenaline junkies, and we are many, something will take us. If it isn’t an avalanche, high speed accident, liver failure, it might be old age. I will make my 70th birthday this time next year. Thank you for listening.
Sure is hard to watch this knowing she has died and yet beautiful to revive all she accomplished and the strengths she used.
Rest in peace girl ❤❤❤❤❤ my respects and prayers 😢😢😢
Though I have all the respect for the achievements of this woman (the discipline, the courage, the resilience she had) when she mentioned the sacrifice of the goat in India it broke my heart (poor goat surrounded by dozens of people playing & rejoicing while she was horribly murdered). Now the mountain sacrificed HER. A perfect circle of 2 sad endings. :(
❤RIP
I didn't know who she was but it's very sad to hear her early passing she passed what she loved doing.
❤❤
🌻
Man how terrible. This is the second time something like this happened to Jim. I remember when Katie his wife and two kids passed away in a plane crash. Man how terrible I was friends with the Jim and Katie when I lived in Truckee CA. So sad this poor guy has been through hell. I did not know this lady but man so sorry to hear this.
Her Life Very Much Fulfilled. People Today are still searching for Fulfillment in their lives.
That "crazy letdown" that we feel after we accomplish these goals seems to be the essence of what's wrong with the lifestyle. I remember the day Alex Lowe went missing on Shishapangma, so many feelings and questions about justifying the lifestyle. Fast-forward 22 years and I'm fat, out of shape, drink too much and begging for a heart attack. I am glad that you are talking about balance! People live amazing full lives in the balance. Thanks for a great interview Rich!
You have the power to change. I wish you well. There is still beauty to be experienced.
Change.
It’s never, ever, too late. If not now? When ? First step is to realize where you’re at. You’ve done that already. Take care.🕊
Well it’s her life, except for the choice to have children, that’s their life as well. I see her as neurotic and self absorbed to an extreme degree. Risk taking is a calculation or its suicide. If it’s calculated then you would include your children. Children in a broken family at that. I watched her old videos and cringed. I wondered if she would tone it down or if she was going to die. I only considered it because I was aware of her kids and situation. Obviously even those close to her couldn’t talk sense into her and now her kids get to live with that selfish , narcissistic choice making. “ she died doing what she loved”, uh so that was what she loved most? Then why have kids? Honestly the society today has suspended ownership of behavior and actions. We can accept her death. We can accept her joy at mountaineering. I don’t accept her choosing to abandon her children. Any more than what I would feel about abandoning mine. To gain a thrill. People have gotten so far away from knowing life that they don’t feel unless it’s extreme. It’s a sickness. You can have 100% of the life feeling right now, it’s not waiting on top of a mountain. She ran from depression and extreme emotional polarity. She ran to the mountains where she could feel the extreme edge. If that’s therapy, you really need to face yourself. It’s like a junkie in so many ways. It’s suicidal, extreme feeling state and separates you from the origin of your pain. That’s not therapy, that’s distraction and diversion. Rip HN
Speak for yourself. You pointing the finger shouting narcissism is self righteous. Humans have to put themselves first they are ultimately responsible for themselves. Children are abandoned all the time its part of the circle of life. They will be fine. If these feats had no risk then everyone would be doing them. The fact she had children doesn't mean she should sit at home and do nothing.
@@cdog94544 You’re as foolish and self absorbed as she was. It’s simple: if you want to live at death’s door then don’t have kids.
@@cdog94544 It's OK because: "children are abandoned all time and stuff" - Sir, you are probably a narcissist.
This. Was. How. She. Made. A. Living.
I hope you have the same energy for men in risky careers who also have children.
Sometimes it makes me wonder if all these risky extreme sports/ adventures are worth the pain it might cause yourself and your loved ones. But then I wonder too about the consequences of never doing what you truly want to do & never taking risks. Oh all the 'what ifs' 😩
My daughters insight, don't take the risks once you have greater responsibilities. Each to their own I guess.
@@dylannewton76 do you feel this way about people that stay in the military after having children?
Well look around at American culture... 100 million adults+ live very risk-averse lives full of comfort and modern convenience...sitting in air conditioned cars, cubicles, homes. They certainly won't die pushing themselves to the extreme, but probably will die a slow death of diabetes or complacency. Which is the better life to have lived?
@@ItsLindaMichelle I feel fine with it, most military people are not in jeopardy, but I know if you are about to be casted in the vanguard, into like Fallujah, the military takes your family situation into account, as they should
@@deadastronaut2440 my husbands a retired Marine. We have four children. He went to Africa while Idi Amin was dictator, two tours in Iraq during Operation Desert Storm and three tour in Afghanistan. He has three Purple Hearts. Never once in his 27 yrs in the military did I ask him to get out. Then after he got out of the military he became a professional motorcycle racer and that pissed me off but it was his passion so I keep my mouth shut… our kids thought he was crazy but they loved watching him and we all cheered him on.
Very poignant. Both of you are amazing super humans!!! Thank you:-)
Love from papsura peak Himachal
Om Shanti 🙏🏼
RIP Hilaree.
This is why I stay home and mountain climbing vids on UA-cam. This is terrible. Great vid bro!
GD, I didn't know her or even really of her until my Instagram feed blew up with the news. Not going to lie, I'm torn. On one hand it's tragic that she passed away. On the other hand, maybe it's more tragic that the vast majority of humans don't die doing something that they absolutely love.
💔
Beautiful story. She lived her life to the fullest and died doing what she loved. But does anybody wonder, besides me, how everything she did could have ended up badly, and unfortunately one time it did, and how it would affect the people around her. I guess from someone who is fighting for her life, that would be me, I am fighting hard every day, and always think of my daughter and how this x-ray, bloodwork, doctor's appointments, dealing with my diseases, will affect her life. It's hard to think about it, but I am fighting for my husband and my daughter and me. I guess what I am saying is that I would never take a chance that might be lethal, because of those who I would leave behind. Everyone is allowed to do as they like, but sometimes you have to think of the consequences. I truly am glad she died doing something she loved.
RIP
What about the children?
