Women Who Found Themselves

The morning rituals sounded simple. But doing them daily for 90 days rewired something in me. I start every day as the woman I want to be, not the woman I was told to be.

I negotiated a 40% salary increase in month 3 of the program. Not because Abhilasha taught me negotiation tactics but because I finally believed I was worth it.

The ISC Circle community was something I did not know I needed. Watching other women just like me breaking their conditioning and speaking up gave me permission to do the same.

I stopped overthinking decisions that used to take me weeks. The daily notes are short but they hit exactly where you need them to at exactly the right time every morning.

I ended a 4-year relationship that had been draining my confidence and sense of self. Not with drama, with calm clarity. Inner Shift Code gave me that clarity.

The 1:1 breakthrough call with Abhilasha was where I finally said out loud the thing I had been afraid to admit to myself. That one hour changed the next decade of my life.

I used to apologise for taking up space. In meetings. In conversations. In my own home. Three months in I have stopped apologising. I have started leading.

The ISC Score at the start showed me exactly where my blind spots were. Seeing my score at the end with real measurable improvements in Clarity, Courage and Connection was one of the most satisfying moments of my life.

I was sceptical. I had spent years thinking this is just who I am. Abhilasha dismantled that belief in the first session. You are not who you are. You are who you were conditioned to be. That distinction changed everything.

I had never cried in front of anyone professionally in 14 years. In month two I cried in a group coaching session. And nobody flinched. That room taught me that vulnerability is not weakness. It is the only door to real change.

My anxiety used to spike every time I had to present to senior leadership. I would prepare for days and still walk in feeling like a fraud. By week 8 I presented to the board unrehearsed and came out feeling proud of myself. That had never happened before.

I spent the first 35 years of my life making decisions based on what would make everyone else comfortable. Inner Shift Code was the first time I made a major life decision based entirely on what I actually wanted. I left a job I hated. And it was the best decision I ever made.

Before this program I could not receive a compliment without deflecting it. Abhilasha noticed it in week two and named it. Learning to receive, whether it is praise, support or love, has changed the quality of every relationship I have.

I used to micromanage my team because deep down I did not trust that I deserved to lead. Month three helped me see that. Once I dealt with that belief, my team performance improved by itself. Trust is contagious when it starts from within.

My husband noticed the change before I did. Three weeks into the program he asked me what was different. I told him I had just started listening to myself for the first time. He said it showed. That moment still makes me emotional.

I had been in and out of depression for years. I want to be honest about that because I think it matters. Inner Shift Code did not replace my treatment. But it gave me an identity to come back to every single day that was stronger than my worst days. That made all the difference.

I am 52. I had told myself this kind of inner work was for younger women. Abhilasha told me that women in their fifties who do this work tend to go the deepest because they have the most honest relationship with time. She was right.

The Clarity pillar hit me hardest. I discovered I had been living someone else's version of success for over a decade. When I wrote my own definition of success in week four, I cried for twenty minutes. Then I started making a plan.

I came in wanting help with my relationship. I came out understanding that the relationship I needed to fix first was the one I had with myself. Everything else improved as a consequence. That sequencing is Abhilasha's genius.

I have two daughters. Every breakthrough I had in this program I thought about them. What am I modelling? What patterns am I passing on? Inner Shift Code did not just change me. It changed what I will hand to the next generation in my family.

I had a chronic habit of abandoning my own opinions the moment anyone pushed back. Abhilasha called it a pattern of pre-emptive retreat. Three months later I held my ground in a board disagreement for the first time. My CEO noticed. I noticed more.

The Courage month was where I almost quit. The work got hard and uncomfortable and I wanted out. Abhilasha said that was exactly when to stay. She was right. The discomfort was the conditioning fighting back. Staying through it was the transformation.

I had given everything to a company for nine years and was let go in a restructure. I was devastated and furious. I joined Inner Shift Code three months later and rebuilt not just my career but my entire sense of what I am worth. I now earn more, work for better people and genuinely love Mondays.

I was told my whole life that I was too sensitive. That my emotions were too much. Abhilasha reframed that in the first session: my sensitivity is not my weakness, it is my superpower that has been untrained. I have never looked at myself the same way since.

I spent years waiting to feel ready before making any big move. Inner Shift Code showed me that readiness is not a feeling you wait for. It is a decision you make. I have made more decisions in the three months since the program than in the three years before it.

My biggest block was that I genuinely could not picture a version of myself who was confident. It felt like a fiction. Abhilasha helped me build that picture from evidence. Small moments, real things I had already done, proof that she was already there. I just had to let her out.

I used to go into every difficult conversation planning my exit. Abhilasha noticed that I was always building escape routes and never building my ground. Month two was about standing in the conversation. It is still the most useful skill I have ever developed.

I had been trying to choose between a demanding career and having children for three years. It was not a practical problem. It was a self-worth problem disguised as a practical one. Abhilasha helped me see that. I have now made the decision with clarity and not guilt. Whatever I choose I know it is mine.

I had been in a management role for four years and still felt like an imposter every single day. The ISC Assessment showed me why. My Clarity score was low. I did not actually know who I was at work separate from my role. Rebuilding that was the foundation for everything else.

The group calls were where I healed the most. Not in the direct coaching moments but in watching other women name things I had never found words for. The experience of being witnessed and witnessing others is something I will carry for the rest of my life.

I was caring for an elderly parent while managing a full-time job and slowly disappearing. I had no self left. Abhilasha helped me understand that selflessness without boundaries is not virtue. It is erasure. That one sentence changed how I show up as a caregiver and as a person.

I laugh differently now. That is the strangest way to describe a transformation but it is the truest. I used to laugh to fill silences or to make others comfortable. Now I laugh when something is actually funny to me. It sounds small. It is enormous.

I had been told by my last three managers that I needed to be more confident. Not one of them told me how. Abhilasha told me how. Confidence is not a personality trait. It is a practice of repeatedly choosing yourself in small moments. Now I know how to practice it every single day.

I had a toxic friendship of eleven years that I had been unable to walk away from because I was afraid of being alone. Inner Shift Code made me genuinely good company for myself. Once I was, the friendship ended naturally. I did not miss it the way I thought I would.

I came to Abhilasha because I kept falling for emotionally unavailable men. By month two I understood that I was choosing them, not stumbling on them. I was choosing people who confirmed my belief that I was not worth consistent love. Once I saw that belief, I could change it.

The daily morning notes are the most underrated part of this program. They feel small on any individual day. But over ninety days they are the thing that quietly reshapes how you start every single morning. I still read old ones when I need to come back to myself.

I used to see other women's success and feel threatened. I did not even fully admit that to myself. Abhilasha's work helped me trace that feeling back to a scarcity belief. There is not enough recognition to go around. When I healed that, I became someone who genuinely celebrates other women. It transformed my professional relationships completely.

My children are the reason I finally did this. I watched my twelve-year-old daughter start doing what I do. Dimming herself. Seeking approval. I could not let that continue. Doing this work for myself was the most powerful parenting act I have ever performed.

I was over-functioning in every area of my life. Doing more than my share at home, at work, in friendships, in family. I thought that was love. Abhilasha showed me it was a survival strategy I had adopted as a child to stay safe. Recognising the difference was everything.

I had given up on therapy because it helped me understand my past but not change my present. Inner Shift Code is different. It uses understanding of the past as fuel for action in the present. The combination of insight and daily practice is what makes the transformation stick.

My voice used to shake whenever I disagreed with someone senior. I thought it was a physical problem. It was a belief problem. The belief that disagreement is dangerous. Abhilasha dismantled that belief carefully and completely. My voice does not shake anymore.

I was going to cancel my spot the night before the first session. I told myself I was too busy. That I was fine. That I did not need this. I am so grateful I did not listen to that voice. That voice was exactly the problem Inner Shift Code was designed to solve.

I had an emotionally abusive boss for three years. I stayed because I believed I could not do better. Month one of Inner Shift Code I started updating my CV. Month three I had a new role with a 28% increase and a manager who actually respects me. The work did not find me. I found myself and the work followed.

I had my first panic attack at 41 during a work presentation. I thought something was medically wrong. Abhilasha helped me see it was the cumulative weight of years of performing confidence I did not feel. The healing was not one big moment. It was 90 days of small, consistent truth-telling to myself.

I cried every day for the first two weeks of the program. Not because it was painful, though it was. But because someone was finally asking me the questions I had been waiting my whole life for someone to ask. Abhilasha asks the questions most people are afraid to ask you.

I have recommended Inner Shift Code to six women in my network. Three of them have done it. All three came back to me and said the same thing: I did not know how much I needed this until I was in it. That is the only honest way to describe it.

I am an introvert and I was terrified of the group calls. By session three I was the one speaking first. Not because I became an extrovert. But because I stopped believing that my thoughts were less valuable than the thoughts of people who spoke louder.

I started the program telling myself it was for professional development. By week two I knew it was about the entire way I had been living my life. That widening was uncomfortable and completely necessary. I came for career confidence and found myself.

My relationship with food changed as a side effect of doing this work. I had been eating emotionally for years without realising it. When I started filling my emotional needs directly instead of through food, the behaviour just shifted. Abhilasha never talked about food once. That is how deep identity work goes.

The Connection month was the most unexpected part. I had come in thinking I was good at relationships. I was. But I was good at the surface of them. Month three helped me go a layer deeper in every significant relationship I have. That depth is what I had been craving without knowing it.

I finished the program on my birthday. The gift I gave myself was completing it. Abhilasha sent me a personal message on that day. It was two sentences. I have read them every morning since. That is the kind of coach she is.
