In 2011, I stood at a crossroads. After 12 years in the Public Service working in IT, Iโd reached my limit. It was a moment that invited reflection and ultimately, a leap. I resigned. Not because I had a plan, but because I had a calling. I wanted to create something meaningful, even if I didnโt yet know what that looked like.
With no prior business experience but a heart full of purpose and the unwavering support of my family, I founded Bloom Web Solutions in 2012. The early days were filled with nerves and uncertainty, but also a quiet determination. Over the next 12 years, I grew the business, hired talented staff, and learned the art of entrepreneurship through trial, error, and resilience.
Bloom eventually gained recognition through several business awards, but the true reward came from something deeper. It was the people.
In the Public Service, I saw people without passion. Sure they had the finances and time, yet lacked the enthusiasm for life. In small business, I saw people with passion, yet without time and resources. Business owners were time poor, financially poor, but full of drive and enthusiasm. The frustration of seeing the two contrasts, drew me closer to my desire to help them. That contrast lit a fire in me. I grow my business to help business owners, those who were time-poor, but rich in vision, cut through the fog, break old patterns, and bloom.
To do that, I had to connect. I had to understand. So I learnt the art of networking, not as a transaction, but as a transformation. I listened deeply. I asked questions. I wanted to know the โhowโ and โwhyโ of peopleโs pain. That curiosity became my compass.
Through networking in late 2018, I met PJ Ashley, CEO of The Pillar Code. We connected instantly, like old friends who had just found each other again. I didnโt know what The Pillar Code was, but I felt something. A spark. A shift.
Then in 2019, something unexpected happened. I met a group of Pillar Practitioners at a business networking event. One of them, to my surprise, turned out to be my Year 8 science teacher. That serendipitous moment led me to The Pillar Code Program, and it changed everything. I dove right in with both trepidation and intrigue.
My journey with The Pillar Code program didnโt begin with a business decision. It began with a personal awakening. I joined because something inside me was ready. Ready to heal. Ready to align. Ready to rediscover my joy. I was yearning to reconnect with my inner peace, re-align with my purpose in life, and elevate my prosperity.
At that time, Bloom was thriving. From the outside, everything looked successful. But inside, I was exhausted. Stress had become my constant companion. I wore my resilience like a badge of honour, not realising it was quietly eroding my health and straining my relationships. I had little time for those I loved, and even less for myself.
But that felt normal.
Iโd become addicted to the adrenaline of stress, mistaking it for purpose. What I didnโt realise was that I was drifting further from the very thing I was chasing: joy.
The Pillar Code didnโt just help me manage stress, it helped me understand why I was attracting it. It gave me tools to reconnect with my values, realign with my purpose, and rediscover the joy Iโd lost along the way.
While Bloom gave me professional growth. The Pillar Code gave me personal evolution.
It wasnโt just another framework. It was a revelation.
I peeled back layers of self-doubt, stress, and limiting beliefs I didnโt know I was carrying. I began to see how my internal world shaped my external results. The clarity I gained wasnโt just mental, it was energetic. I felt lighter. More aligned. More empowered.
My big โahaโ moment came when I realised my purpose was greater than me. It was the ripple effect of change.
While running Bloom and working through The Pillar Code, I experienced an unexpected transformation. My business flourished, the team grew, others sought my support, and Bloom began contributing to global initiatives. It was about impact, connection, and a collective uplift.
I was gaining clarity not just in my business, but in my calling.
I knew, deep down, I was meant to become a Pillar Practitioner. Yes, fear showed up. Of course it did. But so did instinct.
Within months, I had sold my business, became a licenced Pillar Practitioner, and was headhunted for my dream role as a business mentor. It was as if the universe had been waiting for me to say yes, and once I did, everything aligned.
I wanted others to experience the same shift, from surviving to thriving. From confusion to clarity. From burnout to balance.
Today, I work with individuals who are ready to reconnect with their purpose, release emotional blocks, and step into their full potential.
One of the most beautiful lessons The Pillar Code taught me is that success isnโt just measured in revenue or recognition, itโs measured in purpose.
Weโre all seeking it. Wandering around it. Thinking we know what it means, but rarely pausing long enough to truly feel it. To breathe it. To live it.
That same ripple effect is what I now aim to create through my work with The Pillar Code. Every client I support, every breakthrough I witness, adds to a wave of healing and empowerment. My clientsโ transformations ripple outward, to their children, partners, teams, and communities. Itโs beyond imagination.
And that, to me, is the true definition of prosperity.
My desire to be happier each and every day is my true longing. I have more clarity around my lifeโs purpose, and I continue to unfold truths and release the blocks. Itโs truly remarkable to see where I have landed today, when I look back to my journey.
Transformation doesnโt just happen in one area, it ripples through every part of our lives. And nowhere is this more evident than in our work, families and ourselves.
One male client, a highly successful business owner, beautifully captured this impact:
โSince beginning my journey with The Pillar Code over 2 years ago, Shikha has truly opened my mind in the most incredible way. My life has transformed from daily stress and anger to peace and gratitude. My self and my family have achieved more than we could imagine in this time. We want to say thank you for everything youโve done for us.โ
This kind of transformation is the heartbeat of what I do, creating space for clarity, healing, and growth that extends far beyond the individual.
When clients reconnect with their purpose, they experience renewed focus. Decisions become easier. Direction becomes clearer. The stress around clients, finances, and uncertainty begins to dissolve.
Itโs exhilarating to witness.
Today, Iโm proud to be a Pillar Practitioner. I guide others through the same journey that once awakened me.
The Pillar Code isnโt just a program, itโs a pathway to clarity, healing, and empowerment.
Itโs about breaking free from stress, overwhelm, and self-sabotage, and stepping into a life of peace, purpose, and prosperity.
So if youโre standing at your own crossroads, wondering whatโs next, I invite you to explore the possibilities with us.
Because sometimes, the most powerful transformations begin with a single step, and a little belief.
This September, let clarity be your catalyst. Let joy be your compass. And let transformation begin.
Thanks,
Shikha
