    Ep 8 - The Cheeseplant

    Host Sarah shares a candid episode about lifelong experiences with bullying and trolls, the toll on mental health, and the importance of reaching out for support. She then recounts a chaotic business day after testing positive for COVID — making a dream wedding, dealing with a lost driver, a blocked forecourt, a carriage of ruined vases caused by a fallen cheese plant — and the long, exhausting clean-up that followed. A short, honest look at the unseen struggles of running a small florist business, the resilience it builds, and the reminder that help and compassion are available.   Samaritans                                 116 123 Shout                                         Text 85258 National Bullying Helpline         0300 323 0169 Domestic Abuse Helpline          0800 2000 247 Mind                                          0300 123 3393     Music featured throughout this episode was generated under license v5.5 using the Suno app. The lyrics for the introduction and closing segments were written by Sarah, the podcast creator.
