In this first episode of Shetland Resolve Calm Cast, therapist Diane Taylor explores how listening to calming audio - like guided meditations, bedtime relaxations, or hypnotherapy sessions - can help ease you into a restful night's sleep.

Whether you're struggling with insomnia, lying awake worrying, or simply want to create a gentler nighttime routine, this episode offers practical, soothing insights. Diane shares personal stories, powerful reframes (like learning to love your partner’s snoring!), and explains how different types of audio can support both mental health and the nervous system.
