In 2022 I began my struggles with mental health. Highschool was rough and I had no coping mechanisms. Then in 2023 a few things clicked, I was diagnosed with ADHD and ASD and I started experimenting with new ways to help manage my emotions. One day I was Scrolling TikTok and a video of a young girl taking a plush out to the shops came up on my FYP. My fate was sealed. For two years I didn't go anywhere without my plushie (or ESSA if you want to be technical). I taught every person who I encountered about emotional support stuffed animals and eventually I had the idea of starting my business. It took weeks and weeks of website editing, posting videos and finalising wholesalers before I could launch. But when I did, it bloomed. Slowly but surely I was getting more and more orders. Goodness me how we've grown since then. Every change, every memory and every order just makes my love for this business grow.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us this far. We love you.
