Sarah shares a hilarious and cringe-worthy tale of a scorching day at the shop when a plastic bucket gave way, sending her sprawling across a plant display and into the laughing gaze of three builders.

Between the laughs and lost dignity she reflects on resilience, retail life, bullying, and the small lessons learned — stay hydrated, don’t sit on buckets, and reach out for support when you need it.

This episode opens with a personal reflection on bullying, resilience and available helplines, then moves into a tense, true story from Sarah’s life as a florist. While delivering tributes to a funeral director’s embalming room during building works and poor lighting, she experiences a terrifying prank from a colleague who staged movement on a gurney.

The prank leaves her shaken but ultimately teaches her about fear, the power of the unknown, and finding light after darkness — with moments of humour, humility and practical advice for anyone affected by bullying or anxiety.
