From ADHD & Depression to ₹1 Crore+ | Apurva's Powerful Life Transformation Story

I made my first 1 crore less than 2 years. Sounds like success, right?

One of India's leading inner child coaches, child psychology counselor, and a neurosomatic mentor already has impacted over 10,000 lives globally. Cheer out loud as I call on the very, very awesome अपूर्वा थारे। But this is not how my journey begins.

I come from a family history of Alzheimer's, diagnosed with ADHD, labeled as forgetful. You're too lazy. You're too sensitive. Bullied in school for wearing braces. Not understanding why am I hated so much? No one can truly understand me ever. Growing up, as an adult, I attracted a lot of health issues. Herpes, thyroid, gallstones. Doctors suggested remove gallbladder. A very rare orbital nerve autoimmune disorder. Doctors said lifelong medication. I was a hopeless mother going through postpartum depression, feeling suicidal. But you know what? Your biggest breakdowns can actually turn into your Biggest breakthroughs. That's when inner child healing saved my life. Joined ILH in January 2021. That's when Sid showed up. Conducted my first webinar on 15th June 2021, and two people out of 15 who were there in the room got my first level at three triple nine. I felt unstoppable. I was like, "This is easy money for the next." 11 months straight, hardly any conversions. Every webinar felt like a rejection, and I started doubting myself. May 2022, I gave up. The first voice said, Apoorva, I believe in you more than you believe in yourself.

You know, there's a kind of strength that looks confident on the outside. Are you seeing all of this lineup happening? There's somebody very, very special coming in. This is very special, very important person. Thank you guys for being here. So I was saying, there's this kind of strength that actually looks confident on the outside. Are you here? Because what I'm sharing about this person is super cool. That's why I want you to be here. Is that okay?

Yes.

You know, there's a battle a lot of times that goes on inside. How many of you have experienced that battle, even though you keep up— Very confident front outside. Yes, sometime or the other, every one of us has gone through that. And the speaker that you're about to experience works in exactly that space where overthinking, emotional triggers, inner child pressures truly, truly live. One of India's leading inner child coaches, That's who she is, a child psychology counselor and a neurosomatic mentor. And her work goes beyond theory, and I think a lot of you have experienced that, correct? It is deeply rooted in lived experience, navigating emotional struggles, relationship challenges, postpartum depression. But through all of this, she has chosen to rise with awareness and truth, and that is exactly what she wants in every single person that she meets. Are you ready for that kind of a person?

Yes!

Can we hear it nice and loud? I want you to know that what she's going to come here and share is not just going to be heard by you, it's going to stay with you. Are you ready for that? Are you ready to expand? Please rise up to your feet. Go ahead, go ahead, rise up. First thing I want to say is she's a soul sister to me. She is my Shona and my Mona. That's what we call each other. So we are each other's Shona and Mona. But more than that, she's a very integral part of the ILH core team. And she is one of the pillars of NEXT. I want to hear the biggest round of applause as— I can't hear you. I can't hear you. Cheer out loud as I call on the very, very awesome Apoorva Thakur!

Hello, everyone.

That's your Igniter node! Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

सावसीता Love you, Mamu! Love you!

It was March 2025. I was staring at my revenue sheet, utterly shocked, because a part of me still didn't believe That it could just happen or it could just be my reality. A huge realization had just hit. I made my first 1 crore in less than 2 years of achieving Hall of Fame. Well, it took me 2 years to go from Freedom Finisher to Hall of Fame, and it took me less than 2 years To reach my first one crore, and as I stand here today, we've already crossed another crore in the last one year. Sounds like success, right? But this is not how my journey begins. You see, I come from a family history of Alzheimer's. Diagnosed with ADHD, labeled as forgetful, you're too lazy, you're too much, you're too sensitive, crying monster for that matter. I used to forget a lot. I used to forget my pen, pencil, eraser, lunchboxes, Geography lessons, and I used to be beaten up for that. Bullied in school for wearing braces, I was called Jussie Jessie Kohini. How many of you remember that? So not understanding why am I hated so much. So early on, I adopted two beliefs about myself—not two rather. many beliefs about myself. No one can truly understand me ever. I'm not enough alone. I have to be good to others to receive that love that I always sought out for. Well, growing up as an adult, I attracted a lot of health issues. Herpes, thyroid, doctors said lifelong medication. Gallstones, doctors suggested remove gallbladder. A very rare auto— a very rare orbital nerve autoimmune disorder where my left eye would literally be stuck in one position. It was so painful. Doctors suggested lifelong steroids. And for 3 years, taking the steroids for 3 years, my face had become unrecognizable. I had hit rock bottom. I was a hopeless mother, going through postpartum depression, feeling suicidal, not wanting to do anything in my life. Anybody been there? Yes? Thank you. So, But you know what, what they say? Your biggest breakdowns can actually turn into your biggest breakthroughs. And that's exactly what happened next. That's when inner child healing saved my life. It literally did. I started intensifying. I got to know and understood a lot about inner child healing. And you know what I learned about this, about myself in the process? My unspoken truth manifested into thyroid. My unexpressed anger got me gallstones. You know, when I started speaking my own truth, my thyroid got regulated without any medication. Gallstones started shrinking on its own. And my disrespect towards myself that I had, because of which I attracted autoimmune disorder, it vanished. You know, that day, something activated within me. It was very deep realization. I realized that we all are, you know, going through these challenges because there's a little child within us that is still scared to try new things, still looking out for that validation, for that something that would get us the results. And I knew then that I have to work. I have to help people reclaim their lives by honoring the child within them. And that's when my journey of searching for someone who can help me help people started. And as they say, when student is ready, master appears. Master appears. Joined ILH in January 2021. That's when Sid showed up. But you know what, when Sid showed up in my life, He didn't just talk about business, right? He talks about code of honor, alignment, values. I mean, who talks about ethics in business? Because conditioning said business is for bad people. And that's when I decided to challenge every single limiting belief that I ever had. Became a Freedom Finisher in the first quarter. Conducted my first webinar on 15th June 2021, and 2 people out of 15 who were there in the room got my first level at 3999. I felt unstoppable. I was like, this is easy money, right? Wow! Little did I know that that one dream would be short-lived. For the next, not one, not two, not even three, 11 months straight, hardly any conversions. I had barely 5 members in my community. Every webinar felt like a rejection, and I started doubting myself yet again. I was back to square one. Is it really for me? May 2022, I gave up. Freedom business model is not for me. Maybe dreaming big came with cost. But you know, God had different plans for me. That's exactly when Sid shares a message in our Freedom Facilitators group that if you want to nominate yourself to be the magic crew in the first ever FVR Recharge 2022, Just fill up this nomination form. And you know what? I filled it up. I filled it up with anxiety. You know why? The thought, does Sidd even know my name? I filled it up, and 10 days later, I found my name in the list, and I was on top of the world. I had come for the first FBR only with 2 intentions. Remember, I left Freedom Business Model. I came with 2 intentions. The first intention was to give back to my guru who gave me so much. He literally transformed my life. He was not my business coach, he was my life coach. He is my life coach. And second, to touch his feet. But little did I know that that one event alone would be the most transformative event of my entire life. October 2022, something had shifted within me. January 2023, I quit my job, a high-paying full-stack developer job, April 2023, joined Quantum when my bank balance was literally on ventilator. And the journey of ups and downs and ups and downs continued. But there were 2 specific voices that I had now which kept me going. The first voice said, Apoorva, I believe in you more than you believe in yourself. How many of you have heard Sid saying this?

Yes.

Yes? Absolutely. And the second voice was a very subtle voice, you know. He doesn't speak much. He's just there. His presence is just there. And I couldn't see that presence for a very long time. It's my husband Ajit. He used to say, I'm there, don't worry. So yes, the ups and downs, like my— sometimes my ads didn't work, sometimes my webinar didn't work, and sometimes my energy didn't. And that's absolutely fine. So today, if I have to share Top 5 lessons that I have learnt, that I have imbibed in my life, they go like this. Oh yes, I forgot, and now I just don't get to coach adults, but I also get to work with these beautiful teens. I get to work with these teens on their emotional mastery, and I love you guys. I love you so much.

Love you too.

So if I have to share top 5 lessons, the first one is huge realization, huge revelation. Business is a spiritual thing. How many of you would agree with me?

Yes.

You know, it's not just about making a lot of money. It's about who you truly become in the process of making that money, right? Lesson number 2. For me, moving from Freedom Finisher, as I mentioned, From Freedom Finisher to Hall of Fame took me 2 years. Why? Because I was building my self-belief in myself, in my niche, in the product that I'm selling. And the next 2 years, or the next— from Hall of Fame to 1 CR, it was all about detachment. Detaching yourself from your outcomes, from the results. Sometimes, you know, we become too fixated on the outcome. How many of you would agree with me? Yes, and I would do that for a very long time. I would see कितने लोग हैं वेबिनार में? Okay, twenty, ten percent. How many of you have done that? That was, and after that, if if it did not pan out the way you have thought, of course disappointment, right? So that was my biggest lesson that I need to detach myself from the outcome, and what instead I do, I did. Was I attached myself with the process of performance. That's it. Lesson number 3 is— okay, let me ask you one thing. How many of you feel that others around you are moving ahead and somewhere you're still stuck? Yes?

Yes.

And I felt that too, right? But I want you to know one thing. Sometimes, you know, we come into these spaces to get inspired, right? We come into these spaces to, to get inspired, but in the end, what happens? We, we get more demotivated at times. We get expired. But we have to understand that the longer the journey, the deeper the impact you're supposed to create. We all are bamboos. Trust me when I say this. Sidh once told me this, Apoorva, what you seek in your life the most is what you will teach or you will talk about the most. So even if you feel like an imposter today, oh, मैं खुद को नहीं संभाल पा रही हूँ, दूसरों को क्या संभालूँगी? If I'm not able to take care of myself, what will I do? Right? Your alignment will find you. Don't worry. And number five, which has been the biggest lesson of my entire lifetime. There's a saying. I don't know who needs to hear this, but there's a saying in Bhagavad Gita: "Paradharma bhayava," meaning walking someone else's path is dangerous. In today's world, we compare ourselves with others. We put others on pedestal while putting ourselves in pit. We judge ourselves, we judge others, but that's the biggest adharma that we can do ever in our life. So your path may be imperfect, that's absolutely fine, but that's the only way, or that's the only one which will truly fulfill you. So today, my mission is simple. My mission is world peace through inner peace. And I truly wish, I truly truly intend to live that way. If I have to leave with one thought with you today, I want you to know that if someone who's diagnosed with ADHD, forgetful— I'm thankful that I didn't forget my speech though. But if someone like me can do it, Anybody here can do it. Please trust yourself. That's it. Self-belief. Thank you. Thank you so much. And one last thing. It wouldn't have been possible without that one person, that one master that we all have is Sid. Deepest gratitude to you, Sid. Thank you so much for doing what you do.

Is Ajit here?

Ajit, and where's your daughter? Let's get them up also on the stage and let's give them a big round of applause too. Where's Ajit? Let's give it up for little Apoorva and Ajit. Keep the applause going for the entire family.

Amazing!

What a journey! Was this an Omega Shift?

Yes!

Magical journey. Apoorva, I just want to say something. The first FBR she was supposed to crew and she missed her flight and she just made it after that. But from there, she's been with us right through. And is Vani over here? Just checking Vani's here. Yes. So I think Vani and Apurva also, ever since Apurva came into Next, it's been a big, big blessing for all of us. Once again, round of applause for Apurva, even for supporting part of the crew team. And coming to her journey. It's been slow, it's been long, and one thing I can talk about her journey is she just persisted no matter what. She's been in connection with the ILH community, and now it's beginning to show, and this is just the beginning. And Ajit, would you like to share any words? Because you've seen her, you've been through this entire journey, and you've seen what she— can you have the microphone please for Ajit? And now that things are falling in place, your perspectives as a husband. Over to you, Ajit.

Yeah, I think she's one of your most, you know, dedicated students. Whatever you tell, you know, she'll follow. And you might not know, we have had many fights because of this. But, you know, full credit to both of you guys because, you know, this is a difficult niche, converting people in this niche is all the more difficult and holding the space, holding them across, you know, making that jump is even more difficult. So kudos to you. My job was very easy. I just used to say, what are you doing here? So I was the bad cop and he was the good cop. And hats off to, you know, her dedication every Sundays. After, you know, all doing all the work, the funnels and, you know, the inner circle calls, every Sunday she'll be, you know, this time don't disturb me for the next call. So, you know, hats off. All the best.

Thank you so much, Ajit. Once more round of applause and let's take a picture together and Vani, you also join in. We'll take this. Take a picture like this. Or let's come. Come, Apurva. Thank you so much. Once again, big round of applause to Apurva, Ajit, and their daughter. All the best.

Thank you.
