Marking World Mental Health Day - 10th October 2025

A true Scottish agriculture powerhouse, Caroline Millar joins Sarah Stephen for a special bonus episode of Blether Together, to mark World Mental Health Day.

Caroline opens up about the warning signs that made her realise it was time to prioritise her wellbeing, and how inspiration from New Zealand's approach to farming life led her to make lasting changes.

In this candid chat, Caroline also shares the practical steps she's taken to build a healthier, more balanced life - for herself, her family, and the people she works with.
