Bonus episode for World Mental Health Day
To mark World Mental Health Day, Sarah Stephen sits down with Caroline Millar, agritourism leader, sector champion and powerhouse of Scottish agriculture, for an honest chat about wellbeing in farming life. From spotting early warning signs to building simple routines that keep you steady through busy seasons...
Caroline shares how small changes can have a big impact, from daily dog walks and PT sessions in the garden with her team to protecting “blue-sky strategy” time that isn’t swallowed by emails. She explains how a workplace health charter has helped her set boundaries that stick, protecting days off, limiting out-of-hours contact and creating space for recovery.
Caroline also opens up about the importance of talking about menopause, describing how symptoms are not always obvious and how HRT has helped her feel more like herself again. She reflects on learning to let go of constant worry and overanalysis, finding time for rest, family and joy, and building a team culture that truly cares about people’s health and wellbeing.
