About Us
We’re the people who build tools for the days you can barely get out of bed.
This isn’t another wellness brand telling you to wake up at 5 AM or another business guru selling you a course on passive income. Skilluminance exists because most life advice is written for people who don’t actually exist – people with unlimited energy, perfect focus, and zero invisible labor weighing them down. We create printable planners, life skills coaching, and content strategy for humans who are doing their absolute best with what they have today. That’s the truth. And if you’re exhausted from pretending otherwise, you’re in the right place.
What is skilluminance
This is what happens when a burned-out content strategist stops waiting for permission and starts building what she needs to survive.
Skilluminance is a digital products studio and life skills consultancy founded by Spardhaa Khera (aka SK) – a corporate content strategist, Macmillan editor, and curriculum designer who has spent almost two decades helping Fortune 500 companies tell better stories before realizing she’d lost her own. After navigating the simultaneous chaos of parenting, grief, business building, and complete burnout, she created what the market refused to: life reset journals that don’t guilt-trip you when you skip days, productivity planners designed for real human capacity, and brand messaging frameworks that don’t make small business owners feel like frauds. Every tool here is born from necessity, not theory.
We don’t sell aspiration. We sell survival gear for complicated lives.
Our Story & Mission
Our Story Started with a Breakdown. Our Mission is to Make Sure Yours Doesn’t Have To.
Here’s what no one tells you about “having it all”: the weight of invisible labor will crush you before anyone even notices you’re struggling. Spardhaa learned this the hard way – juggling a toddler who didn’t sleep, a father’s sudden death, a hard marriage, and a content strategy business she was building from scratch, all while everyone around her kept saying “you’re so strong” instead of “how can I help?”. She didn’t feel strong. She felt like she was drowning in a to-do list written by someone who’d never lived her life.
So she stopped looking for solutions designed for fantasy versions of people and started building tools for the version of herself standing in the kitchen at 11 PM, too tired to think, wondering if she’d ever feel like herself again. That’s how Skilluminance was born – from the raw, honest need for structure that doesn’t demand perfection, coaching that doesn’t add pressure, and business strategies that don’t require you to perform a personality you don’t recognize.
Our mission is simple: give overwhelmed parents, burned-out founders, and exhausted professionals the practical tools and compassionate support they need to build lives that actually hold them—not lives that look good on Instagram. We’re here for messy progress, sustainable systems, and the radical act of being enough exactly as you are.
We Design for Your Actual Tuesday, Not Your Fantasy Morning
Your life doesn’t need another five-step morning routine. It needs a planner that works when your kid is melting down, your inbox is exploding, and you’ve already had three decision-fatigue spirals before 9 AM. Every tool we build respects your real capacity – not the one productivity gurus pretend you have.
Empathy Before Everything
We don’t believe in “tough love” or “holding you accountable”. We believe in meeting you where you are with zero judgment and building from there. Whether you’re a parent navigating invisible labor, a founder stuck on messaging, or a professional redesigning your entire life, you won’t find shame here. Just support that sees you fully and helps you move forward.
Messy Counts. Done Beats Perfect. Progress is Non-Linear.
You don’t get points for suffering in silence or hustling until you break. We celebrate the small stuff: the day you only filled out one page of your journal, the week you sent one email instead of ten, the moment you chose rest over pushing through. That’s not failure. That’s wisdom. And we’re here to remind you of that every single time you forget.
Planners
Weekly and daily layouts for people who need structure but can’t commit to rigid systems. Designed for real schedules, real interruptions, and real humans who sometimes just need to survive the week.
Journals
Life reset journals, shadow work guides, wellness trackers, and self-care prompts for people healing from burnout, grief, relationship trauma, or just the weight of existing in 2025.
Checklist
Decision-making frameworks, task prioritization tools, parenting scripts, and morning routine builders for people with decision fatigue and zero bandwidth left.
Ebooks and guides
Deep-dive resources on life skills coaching, AI-powered content creation, empathy-driven marketing, productivity for neurodivergent brains, and parenting without losing yourself.
Print On demand
The good stuff – printed, bound, and shipped to you. No hunting for a printer at 2 AM. Just real, hold-it-in-your-hands tools ready to use the day they arrive.
Spardhaa Khera (aka SK)
Founder and CEO
Spardhaa has spent 15+ years helping brands tell better stories—first in corporate roles, now as the founder of Skilluminance. Her real work began when life fell apart: losing her dad, being the default parent, rebuilding a business from scratch, and realizing there’s a big difference between “keeping it together” and actually being okay. These days, she’s a life skills coach and content marketing consultant who will never tell you to “just push through,” because she knows exactly where that road ends. If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at a life you didn’t even design, she gets it. Every tool here exists to help you design a new one.

The Inspiration and Lead Model
Meet the real boss around here: the curious, big-hearted kid who turned “wanting a better life” into his mom’s full-time mission. He’s the face you’ll spot in many of our photos and the everyday inspiration behind the stories, tools, and gentle shifts this brand creates.
Jane Doe (aka Temp)
Consultant
Skilluminance also partners with short-term consultants who step in behind the scenes to keep operations organized, efficient, and moving smoothly. They support everything from systems and workflows to launches and customer experience, so Spardhaa can stay focused on creating tools that actually change real lives.
