“In 2011 my mother died. I was given 1 week leave and sent flowers. When I returned to work no one asked how I was. My boss said he had spoken to HR ‘about me’ but HR never got in touch with me directly, I had never even met them. I quit. 13 years later I support thousands of people with grief and more.” 

ESSTA was founded by Gal Darrash as part of the InnovateThis group in 2022 to support her followers and clients in between sessions after she found that more and more people would sink betweek workshops. Realising that people needed daily support she wrote the “Escape With Gal” Series to support those who were in toxic relationships with partners, families or colleagues when she could not be there. Since then ESSTA has grown to a catalogue of over 100 titles and the ESSTA app is now an all-in-one platform for those trying to build their self esteem, reach their goals and improve their quality of life.
