The Shetland Resolve Calm-Cast
Who Are You On Your Day Off?
Who are you when nobody needs anything from you? It's a simple question, but for many people it's surprisingly difficult to answer. In this episode of the Shetland Resolve Calm-Cast, Diane explores what happens when years of being capable, organised, reliable or "the strong one" become more than something we do and begin to feel like who we are. Through stories, observations and a little help from a Shetland working collie, she gently explores why quiet days can sometimes feel unexpectedly uncomfortable, why holidays can take time to settle into and why feeling a little lost may not mean you've lost yourself at all. If you've ever struggled to switch off, found yourself inventing jobs to do on your day off, or wondered who you are beneath the roles you've become so good at playing, this conversation is for you.
