Who I Am

Hello,
I’m Shikha.
Self-made. Sharp-minded. Emotionally aware.

Avid reader. Aspiring author. Words are both my weapons and my refuge.

What Drives Me

Mental health advocacy isn’t a trend for me — it’s purpose.

In my darkest season, when I felt abandoned and almost broken beyond repair, healing became personal. Awareness became mission.

I don’t just talk about healing — I build spaces for it. Through my work and through Mindwize, I’m committed to creating conversations that feel safe, honest, and transformative.

I believe self-mastery is the real flex:
control your responses,
raise your standards,
protect your peace.

Happiness begins there — not in controlling people or outcomes, but in mastering your boundaries, choices, and emotional intelligence.

How I Think

I use my voice — sometimes vociferously — to challenge conditioning and create spaces where vulnerability feels safe and strength feels soft.

I don’t do surface-level.
I build depth.
I choose impact.

What Keeps Me Grounded

Eva — my heart outside my body. 🐾
My grounding force. My reminder that loyalty and love still exist in their purest form.

Travel fuels me.
Sarcasm sustains me.
Coffee powers the rest.

I think in chess moves.
I decompress with puzzles and Legos.
I compete on the tennis court.
I travel to expand perspective.

The Way I Live

Living eudemonically.
Building intentionally.
Becoming relentlessly.
