Are you hiding heartache behind your achievements? Discover and heal the ‘hidden addictions’ of high achievers

Tina — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 18:48:15 +0000

It’s always a pleasure to speak with the lovely Aisling Cronin from The Irish Independant. Her genuine curiosity creates a meaningful space to express something I know many struggle with.

It’s time we bring hidden heartache into the conversation—making it a part of how we approach professional and personal culture and growth.

Here is the link to have a full read of the article if you’re in Ireland and otherwise, below is the full text.

If this resonates with you, know this: silent heartache may be the very thing holding you back, but it’s also where your greatest growth lies.

“Addictions come in many forms. Those with socially lauded results, such as a compulsion to work to the point of burnout or a deeply felt need to engage in people pleasing behaviours, are the addictions that can be most difficult to identify and address. The person who appears to achieve career and personal goals with ease, dismissing all offers of help, may not fit the stereotypical image of addiction. Likewise, few would use the term ‘addict’ to describe someone who is fiercely devoted to their family and friends, making the time to be present and available to anyone who needs them, with no apparent desire to assert their own boundaries.

“Substance addictions can be easier to identify, as their impact on a person’s ability to function, day to day, is more obvious,” says Hema Vyas, a psychologist, mentor and public speaker who specialises in helping individuals and organisations to cultivate a more emotionally aware work environment. Her approach is designed to prevent silent addictions, ultimately leading to more productive workplaces and more balanced lifestyles.

“What can more easily pass unnoticed is the exhaustion that accompanies a silent addiction,” she adds. “One of the main patterns I have observed in my practice through the years is the hidden heartache of high achievers. The pandemic changed working life for many people, in many different areas of society. There are both positive and negative aspects to this change, but the shift to remote working, for some, has led to what I would describe as an increase in cases of ‘slow burnout’. Burnout is more easily noticed when it involves being away from home most of the time – it’s harder to see when we remain within the same four walls, but the demands placed upon us are just as real as they were before we adopted this new way of working. Another pattern I have noticed among high achievers is that they tend to feel as though they can’t openly talk about their burnout – as though if they lock a problem away and continue their routines as normal, it has disappeared.”

Vyas defines ‘a silent addiction’ as any behaviour that is driven by compulsion rather than a genuine desire – even if the outcome of the behaviour may seem positive or praiseworthy to others. “There is a great deal to admire in someone who wants to work hard, for example, or strives to do their very best in life, whatever situation they may be facing,” she explains. “The difference I’ve observed in those I would describe as suffering from a silent addiction is that the person feels compelled to engage in certain behaviours even when they can acknowledge that the habit is affecting their health or wellbeing. They rarely feel comfortable at rest, they cannot cede control, they might derive their sense of security or self-worth from what they are doing.”

Vyas emphasises that developing certain coping mechanisms is a normal human reaction in a world that has conditioned many of us to present our best possible faces at all times. She cites the rise of social media as a key driver of silent addictions. Having compassion for ourselves during those moments when we struggle with compulsive behaviours is vital to restoring a sense of balance in our lives.

“The breakthrough lies in acknowledging the heartache we carry and making a choice to deal with it differently – understanding that yes, this is a process and it may take each person some time to fully integrate that into their new concept of who they are,” Vyas explains.

“A person who has buried their stresses or silenced their heartaches beneath achievement or striving – perhaps for many years, perhaps for most of their life – they may have built their entire sense of self around those achievements, whether personal or professional. And of course, there is great value in everything they have done in life, but true healing comes when they recognise that on a deeper level, who they are lies beyond those things. There is a great sense of freedom and relief in that – but there is a sense of vulnerability too. They will need to be gentle with themselves. Become familiar with a more peaceful way of being. Taking it step by step is key.”

One of Vyas’ greatest passions is, she says, “helping people to redefine success on their terms. Often, it is only in a moment of crisis or burnout that people realise they have been using others’ opinions to define what success means to them. That’s why it can be a truly liberating moment when someone realises they no longer have to hold on someone else’s definition of success. It has made an enormous difference in the lives of so many people I’ve had the pleasure to work with. What this moment means will be different for each person. For some, it may mean stepping back from some of their previous duties. For others, it may mean reassessing their current schedule and finding a solution that enables them to continue serving in the roles they enjoy, while also taking more time for their own healing and self-development.”

Ultimately, when a person begins to address any silent addictions they may be carrying and is able to cultivate an attitude of compassion towards their hidden heartaches, this grants them a golden opportunity to reveal a more grounded portrait of who they are. Released from the pressures that previously dominated their lives, relieved of the need to continually prove their worth, they are free to act from a place of genuine desire rather than compulsion.”

International Women’s Day 2025, a pleasure to speak at events including at Association of International Energy Negotiators

Tina — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 13:18:03 +0000

Accelerate Action is the theme of IWD2025, and in my view, the way we achieve that is together.

Each of us can champion inclusion and challenge biases in our thinking. The more we meet others with possibility, empathy, and expansive thinking, women and men alike, the more we set the tone for the leaders who follow.

What I love about this month is seeing women and men come together to shed light on areas where more work is needed beyond our own experiences and perspectives.

I’m delighted to be speaking at events with forward-thinking organisations, including the Association of International Energy Negotiators (AIEN).

Their Regional Chapters are hosting events worldwide, and we would love for you to join us in person in London on Thursday, March 20th for an evening talk on “Empowering Change: Break Bias and Build Inclusion in the Energy Sector.”

This event is open to all, including women and men, members and non-members. Spaces are limited, and details are in the comments.

You are welcome to stay for networking after the talks and panel discussion.

When we share our challenges and inspirations, we open hearts and minds to new possibilities.

Looking forward to the conversations ahead.

Interview: The Journey to Inner Freedom: Hema Vyas on Heart-Centered Living, thank you Predrag and MysticMag

Tina — Tue, 30 Jul 2024 12:14:08 +0000

In this MysticMag interview, we explore the journey of Hema Vyas, a leading heart-centered mentor and psychologist, who has dedicated her life to understanding and teaching the profound impact of heart intelligence. From a childhood awakening in India to guiding individuals and organizations worldwide, Hema’s work emphasizes the power of the heart in healing and transforming lives.

Can you please introduce yourself to our readers and share a few details about your professional journey?

My journey into understanding the heart and destiny began with a childhood experience in India, which awakened me to the world’s inequalities and sparked a lifelong quest for deeper understanding. At fourteen, an out-of-body experience following a car accident solidified my belief in consciousness beyond our physical bodies. These experiences led me to realize that the heart communicates from the subconscious to the conscious self, seeking balance and harmony.

I faced an existential crisis in my young adulthood, rejecting my Hindu upbringing and questioning my faith. A transformative vision of the Hindu god Shiva inspired me to follow my inner guidance. This led me to pursue studies in psychology and esoteric subjects, culminating in my unique approach to “heart mentoring.” I learned that the heart acts as both a magnet and a mirror, reflecting and attracting qualities like love and gratitude, which are crucial for healing and personal transformation.

Over the years, I’ve built an award-winning business focused on teaching heart intelligence as a leadership tool for today’s world. As a visionary psychologist, mentor, and speaker, my mission is to empower individuals and organizations to redefine success, creating a legacy of love, purpose, and prosperity. My work integrates timeless wisdom, modern psychology, heart-centered leadership development, and Ayurvedic philosophy. I am known for addressing the silent heartache and aspirations of high achievers through programs like The Love Supreme Blueprint, Haven Leadership, and Wellness eco-luxury retreats.

I have been recognized as one of the top four innovation business mentors by a UK Government award and received EMCC Master Accreditation for my contributions to coaching and mentoring. My client base ranges from CEOs to creatives, all of whom appreciate my healing presence and incisive wisdom.

My understanding of the power of silence and meditation came through personal healing. In deep meditation, I healed much of my heartbreak and found the answers I sought. This profound inner work has become central to my teachings, helping others connect with their hearts, embrace their truths, and lead fulfilling lives. Today, I share my insights globally, guiding others in their journey towards a more connected and harmonious existence.

Can you walk me through the process of transformative healing?

Every healing journey is unique, but much of my work focuses on addressing the silent heartache often experienced by high achievers. Many people carry unresolved emotions, thoughts, and memories from past disappointments, heartaches, and heartbreaks. Often, these wounds are hidden in the “blind spots” of our consciousness—spaces in our hearts where we’ve stored these unprocessed experiences. This can happen because, in moments of trauma or shock, we’re sometimes unable to fully process what we’re experiencing. We might not even realize the lasting impact these events have had on us, often because others around us don’t recognize the depth of our hurt. As a result, we might compartmentalize these feelings, pushing them aside and creating a sort of emotional “baggage.”

This baggage takes up space within us, leading to a sense of contraction. Over time, this emotional congestion can diminish our joy in life and limit our overall well-being. It can also manifest in various areas of life, affecting the quality of our relationships, productivity, and overall sense of abundance and fulfillment. This often results in a feeling of life being more of a struggle than it should be.

The transformative healing journey aims to uncover and illuminate these hidden emotional wounds. The process involves bringing these issues into the light, acknowledging and expressing them, and reaching a deeper understanding and acceptance of them. This deeper truth isn’t just about intellectual understanding but also encompasses a spiritual realization that things happen for a reason. By making sense of these experiences and releasing them from our hearts and our electromagnetic field, we create space for new energy and information to flow.

As we release these old hurts, we experience a lightening of our being. This release opens up our hearts, allowing for better flow of energy, which positively impacts various aspects of our lives. As a result, the quality of our life improves, as does the quality of our relationships, productivity, and overall sense of joy and purpose. Ultimately, this healing process leads to a greater sense of abundance and prosperity.

And isn’t that what we all seek? A life filled with joy, abundance, and a deep sense of well-being. This transformative journey helps us move toward that ideal, helping us heal the past and open up to a brighter, more fulfilling future.

What are the differences between working with a group of people and working with a person individually?

Working with individuals and groups in the context of healing or personal development presents unique dynamics and benefits.

When working with individuals, the journey is very personal and focused. This allows for deep, direct, and specific engagement with the person’s unique issues, providing dedicated time and personalized guidance. The focus is entirely on them, making it possible to address specific concerns in a detailed and tailored manner. However, this level of intimacy can sometimes feel too raw or intense, especially when dealing with deep-seated issues. The process can bring up things that the person may not be ready to fully confront or hear, which can be both deeply transformative and challenging. One-on-one sessions allow for a thorough exploration of specific issues, providing a space for comprehensive healing and growth.

In contrast, group settings offer a different dynamic. Participants benefit from shared experiences and insights, which can be validating and reassuring as they realize they are not alone in their struggles. The shared dynamic can be empowering, fostering a sense of community. In group discussions, facilitators often speak more generally, which can allow people to process difficult topics at a comfortable distance. Even if someone isn’t ready to confront an issue directly, they can still gain valuable insights from the discussion. Groups also introduce participants to a diversity of perspectives and solutions that might not emerge in one-on-one settings. This broader range of ideas can spark new insights and provide a wider array of coping strategies. The energy and momentum in a group can be motivating, as the collective enthusiasm and shared focus help accelerate learning and healing. Additionally, group settings can expose participants to topics or perspectives they might not have considered in a one-on-one setting, leading to unexpected insights and growth.

Each format—individual or group—offers unique advantages. Individual sessions provide depth and personalized focus, while group sessions offer breadth, shared experiences, and a dynamic environment. The choice between them depends on the individual’s needs, readiness, and the specific goals of their healing or personal development journey.

What motivates you to keep doing what you’re doing?

The motivation for my work often comes from a place of recognizing the ongoing need for healing and growth in individuals and communities. It’s like being on a boat with a hole in it; no matter how much water you bail out, there’s always more coming in. There’s always a new group of people or individuals facing similar challenges, yet with unique perspectives and needs. It can sometimes feel repetitive, but then there are moments of profound impact that remind me why I continue. When someone has an epiphany, when they say, “I never thought of it that way, and now everything is different,” it’s a powerful affirmation of the work’s value. It’s a reminder that, although I’ve spoken about these concepts many times, it’s often the first time someone else has heard them, and it can change their life profoundly.

The drive to continue also comes from a broader vision of generational healing. We’re in a unique period where we’re beginning to understand and apply concepts of heart energy, heart intelligence, and heart-centered qualities in practical ways, including in leadership and daily life. This knowledge allows us to genuinely metabolize and process deep-seated issues, moving beyond superficial solutions and spiritual bypassing. The work is not just about healing individuals but also about setting the stage for healthier future generations. The ripple effect of this healing is profound, affecting not just those we directly work with but also those who come after them. This broader impact, the potential to influence and uplift future generations, is incredibly motivating. It gives a sense of purpose and meaning to the work, knowing that it’s contributing to a more compassionate and conscious world.

A big part of your work or speaking engagements, what can you tell me about that part of your work?

I never initially saw myself as a speaker, but over time, I realized the importance of sharing the true power of heart energy with others. This wasn’t about just talking; it was about educating and informing people about why understanding the depth of the heart goes beyond traditional therapy. While therapy has its place, there’s a deeper dimension that often goes unrecognized, and my speaking engagements became a platform to highlight this.

I thrive on conscious inquiry, where there’s a specific theme to explore. This approach allows me to share insights that are often what people need to hear most at that moment. It’s interesting because many people have said that what I articulate in these talks resonates deeply with them, often expressing thoughts and feelings they’ve struggled to put into words themselves. When I speak, it’s not because my words are particularly unique, but because they resonate with unspoken truths within the audience. People often feel a sense of recognition and validation, as if I’ve voiced something they’ve always felt but couldn’t articulate.

My speaking style is very intuitive and heart-centered. I don’t use a script, even for keynotes. I have a general theme or intention, but I always speak from the heart, letting the message flow naturally. This way, I connect with the audience on a deeper level, addressing their hearts and minds. It’s about delivering the most relevant and meaningful message for the moment, which can deeply impact and resonate with those who are listening.

Is there anything else you’d like to add about your work that you’d like to share that we haven’t covered?

One of the crucial points that often gets overlooked in discussions about the heart and its connection to our being is the deeper spiritual aspect. There’s a growing conversation around the heart’s relationship with the brain, especially from a neuroscience perspective, but this often misses a more profound connection to our spiritual selves. Many have been taught to separate spirituality from everyday life, especially in the scientific or therapeutic contexts. Yet, this separation limits our understanding and potential.

The heart isn’t just a metaphorical center of emotions; it’s also a gateway to deeper spiritual and intuitive intelligence. Historically, there has been a systematic downplaying of heart intelligence and spiritual awareness, which begs the question: why? If you look at stories and narratives, such as those in cinema, the protagonists who resonate most deeply with us are those who embody heart qualities like courage, compassion, and integrity. These qualities often lead them to challenge unjust systems and norms, embodying a type of heroism that resonates across cultures and histories.

The marginalization of heart intelligence in broader societal discourse might be because of its profound empowering potential. When people truly understand and harness the power of their hearts, they access a level of freedom and self-awareness that is transformative. This freedom isn’t just about physical or political liberty; it’s about the freedom to be authentic, to love fully, and to live with integrity. This type of freedom is a threat to those who benefit from a more controlled and conformist society.

In my work, I often encounter people who are seeking this type of inner freedom. They want to be free from the invisible chains of past traumas, societal expectations, and internalized fears. The journey into heart intelligence is not just a personal healing process; it’s a radical act of reclaiming one’s sovereignty. It requires courage and a willingness to dive deep into one’s inner world, addressing silent heartaches and listening to our individual and collective heart wisdom.

Ultimately, the crisis we face in humanity—a crisis of meaning, purpose, and connection—can only be resolved by turning inward and rediscovering the power of the heart. This means embracing a holistic approach to healing and living that honors both our rational minds and our spiritual essence. It’s about cultivating a deep, inner discipline that guides our actions, not because of external rules, but because of an intrinsic understanding of what’s right and just. This is the path to true freedom and collective healing.

Article: Amidst collective challenges, let’s awaken our creativity and rediscover our inner havens

Tina — Tue, 05 Sep 2023 06:29:07 +0000

For high achievers, dips in creative joy or motivation can be bewildering. “Why do I feel off?” Accomplished clients, driven and purposeful, have quietly posed this question, unsettled by their inner unease, especially as they see others gliding through life seemingly effortlessly. For those who thrive on creativity and solution-oriented thinking, grappling with these inner slumps causes us to question ourselves. We require an external perspective. Transformation begins with awareness.

In an era of intense change, pervasive burnout, existential crises and global tension, heart-centered high achievers contend with the distress of a world in turmoil and a personal desire to create a positive impact. Within these experiences lies a promise—a whisper of expansion for those who listen. I believe a part of our consciousness knows a better way is possible. Just as oxygen fuels our vitality, cultivating the flow of creativity nurtures our spirit.

In work and life, creativity is often limited to finding pragmatic solutions to immediate problems. However, I perceive it as much more than that – the essence of evolution, a core component of the growth impulse that defines our humanity. Creativity is the capacity to collaborate with life, to identify opportunities for growth and actively shape them. A process that invites inner and outer work.

Our creative flow falters when our energetic capacity becomes overwhelmed — when we’re “filled up.” Amid the mundanity of daily routines and fatigue of navigating through our emotions, as well as those of others, both personal and shared heartaches take their toll on our drive to purpose. In this whirlwind, creativity yearns for space.

We may feel drained, questioning why a vacation didn’t rejuvenate us as expected.

Here, the “like attracts like” principle comes to life: when our creative flow is stifled, generating positive outcomes requires more energy. Conversely, dedicating effort to clearing emotional and energetic debris opens the door to a state of flow. The outcome is a creative and attracting magnetism. This enables us to receive more than we thought possible. Which in turn rejuvenates our motivation.

These are a few of my observations highlighting a solution that has profoundly impacted the lives of numerous executives, founders, creative and caring individuals from various walks of life, all of whom are driven by a shared calling to be of service to others on the path to success. Regardless of their unique purposes, they all aspire to leave behind a legacy of love. This is our voyage — a return to ourselves and our creative natures, a journey to our inner haven.

Give yourself permission: The power of an open-hearted peer group

The power of groups uniting with shared intentions to expand their awareness is a well-explored phenomenon. In 14 years of running global wellness and leadership programs, a recurring theme is clear: diverse groups thrive on synchronicity, amplifying peer learning. In the group, another’s inquiry could hold our exact lesson — pragmatic and profound.

Witnessing others’ consciousness shift communicates, “you can experience this too.” Here, insights bloom, paving the way for transformations. We rise beyond ourselves, transcend the sum of our individual parts; a scientific synergy comes into play.

The added beauty of peers coming together in safe spaces is that in recognizing each other’s potential amid challenges, we uncover our own. We are stronger and more supported than we think. When we come together, we feel it. Heightened sensitivity becomes strength, in turn driving collective growth.

Nature’s healing influence: A multi-sensory connection

Evidence backing nature’s therapeutic benefits is vast. Nature’s unwavering presence nurtures and grounds us amidst uncertainty. Humans are inherently multisensory beings, beyond the visual. Our senses — sound, smell, taste, touch — receive nourishment through non-visual channels. In nature’s vitality all of our senses are stimulated. This soothes the nervous system, enlivening well-being and creativity.

Haven settings are meticulously chosen for their proximity to nature’s heart — nestled among mountains and overlooking the sea — we bridge the gap between sensory experiences and the nervous system’s cravings for newness, free from repetitive thought patterns and in sync with nature’s rhythm.

Guided by expertise and held within a nurturing space, surrender to the creative flow, assured that every detail is thoughtfully taken care of from nourishing food to beautiful surroundings. This in itself signals a shift for people used to being the ones everybody else relies on, inviting a fresh and restorative energy.

Connect with your heart energy to break through invisible walls of resistance

In a world where heart energy is often overshadowed by cerebral intellect, I’ve witnessed the transformative power of the heart through decades of client work and study. I teach how the heart consistently sends messages from the subconscious to the conscious self as it seeks to restore balance and harmony. Everything we experience is a reflection of what we hold in our heart’s energetic space.

When we commit to the inner work of clearing and releasing what no longer serves us, the heart energy naturally expands and flows with gratitude and love; these qualities are reflected back. Often, long-standing symptoms are dissolved. Limiting patterns and ancestral beliefs are shed. “Glass ceilings” and invisible barriers come into view and are transcended.

During Havens and beyond, participants share remarkable outcomes — synchronicities, grace and even what seem like miracles — results of embracing the depths of their consciousness and heart space. This willingness to explore opens doors to multifaceted growth and possibilities.

Together we are more than the sum of our parts

Havens are more than getaways; they embody wisdom and space, nurturing profound and meaningful shifts. The more we connect with our own heart’s energy and break down the walls of resistance, the more we contribute to a world where creativity, connection and growth flourish collectively. The fusion of expert guidance, multi-sensory embrace of nature and support of open-hearted peer groups creates a tapestry of healing and change that transcends the ordinary.

“Initially I was drawn to the kundalini yoga and massage, however Hema’s insights were the highlight. Hema doesn’t try to change who you are, her aim is to make you understand why you have done certain things in your life and to help you break the pattern to realize your dreams and potential. You might think you know yourself, but you soon understand that despite only just meeting, Hema knows you better.” Events industry leader.

Podcast: Healing Silent Heartache of High Achievers on Better Place Project. Creating leadership synonymous with heart values

Tina — Wed, 28 Jun 2023 13:23:43 +0000

Heart-centered leadership as a bridge to a better, more authentically connected world.

It is always a pleasure to speak with Steve at the Better Place Project. During our latest conversation, I contemplated the steps we can take to heal the world by bridging the gaps that can divide and separate people from the profound truth of our interconnectedness.

Our conversation encompassed various topics, including the significance of the electromagnetic field of the heart that communicates beyond words, leadership and its connection to heart intelligence, the silent heartache experienced by high achievers and how addressing these allows us to overcome the “glass walls” on our path to growth.

We also opened up about our concerns for humanity in the short term—truthfully, they are matters that keep both of us awake at night—and our underlying optimism.

I also shared my enthusiasm about the potential of AI. Technological advancements encourage us to explore the depths of our humanity, expand our consciousness and improve our ability to discern what is authentic. I see these as an invitation to open up human possibilities to unique human needs in the workplace and world through the power of heart intelligence. This, in turn, makes the value of human qualities more tangible.

Shared with an intention for a world where deep connections with ourselves and others flourish.

Find Your Haven: A Unique Approach to Transformational Healing and Learning for High Achievers

Tina — Mon, 29 May 2023 11:09:02 +0000

Find Your Haven: A Unique Approach to Transformational Healing and Learning for High Achievers by Hema Vyas

Renowned psychologist, speaker and trainer Hema Vyas is proud to announce the launch of Haven experiences in Italy, India and Dubai. Haven offers two distinct experiences for high-achievers seeking healing and learning. The first is the “Haven Success Serenity Sojourn,” which is designed to help individuals connect with their true aspirations, expand heart-centered leadership qualities and create inner space for outer impact. The second is “Haven for Healing the Silent Heartache of High Achievers,” which is tailored for those dealing with heartbreak or loss.

“While a retreat offers an escape, Haven provides a unique space to focus on diving deep into your leadership development, where you can actively cultivate personal growth, refine your skills and create meaningful connections. Programs are designed to enhance your capabilities and nurture your inner resilience to thrive in both professional and global contexts. Havens empower you to strengthen your connection with yourself and others in an intimate and supportive atmosphere,” says Hema Vyas.

At a time when wellness travel is on the rise (with the global wellness tourism market reaching $819.9 billion in 2023) and leadership development is increasingly seen as a priority for professional growth (the number one priority for 60% of HR leaders is leader and manager effectiveness), Haven offers a unique and multi-faceted approach to transformational experiences.

The Haven concept is the latest evolution of Hema’s work, which focuses on empowering startups, corporations and individuals by equipping them with the necessary knowledge and tools to tap into the power and potential of the heart. This concept is built upon Hema’s extensive experience of 14 years in conducting wellness and leadership programs across India, Italy, Portugal, Turkey and Estonia, as well as 30 years of guiding personal and professional growth for high achievers who she describes as humble, curious and accomplished.

Havens offers a chance to invest in yourself and create a profound impact. Release whatever may be holding you back from your fullest potential and learn to do the same for your teams. Connect with other founders, entrepreneurs and leaders in a space dedicated to meaningful collaboration and growth.

Don’t miss this opportunity to show up more powerfully and creatively for yourself, your people and your business. Find your Haven.

“High Achievers Are Drowning in Heartache. But No One Talks About It.” Press Release

Tina — Mon, 29 May 2023 11:03:24 +0000

In today’s fast-paced, high-pressure world, many high achievers are silently struggling with the weight of their own heartaches. What if there was a way to address these
hidden struggles and build a more connected world? That’s the mission of prominent UK psychologist, Hema Vyas, known as The Omnipreneurial Psychologist. As the author
of “The Silent Heartache of High Achievers,” Vyas is bringing much-needed attention to the unique challenges faced by those who have achieved great success but still feel
unfulfilled. She firmly believes that healing ourselves is the ultimate contribution we can make to humanity, and she’s dedicated her life’s work to helping high achievers find the
peace, purpose, and fulfillment they deserve.

The link between personal and professional growth is widely accepted, but some taboo topics, such as heartache and grief may hinder growth in certain workplace cultures.
Hema Vyas believes it’s time to lift the veil on the power of healing heartache, especially for high achievers who she describes as humble, curious and accomplished and who
will certainly have experienced pain early on in life. Addressing these topics can lead to positive change and growth for individuals and organizations. Heartbreak can either
define or elevate a person, according to Vyas, and choosing the latter can amplify empathy and make one a source of love.

Despite their outer accomplishments, clear sense of purpose, and even meaningful relationships, high achievers may still experience a sense of unfulfillment. They desire
to be, do, and have more, but something feels out of their grasp, an elusive piece of a puzzle. High achievers yearn for a world that is unified and an animated life where you
can experience joy in all areas without having to sacrifice success in another. This desire for holistic fulfillment runs counter to the prevailing cultural narrative, which often
suggests that we must choose between competing priorities. Hema asserts that high achievers are not meant to live in only one dimension of their lives. Instead, they seek to unite all aspects of their being, which can be challenging in a world that compartmentalizes and operates in a dualistic manner. Their desire to live in a united and connected world is often driven by their visionary and forward-looking nature, as they seek what is possible rather than what has been.

In response to this pressing need, Hema Vyas is offering a new live and interactive course titled “Addressing the Silent Heartaches and Aspirations of High Achievers”. The
course draws inspiration from the experiences of many of Hema’s clients. Its purpose is to challenge the assumptions and paradigms that define our lives and enable
participants to explore new ways of being that honor their true selves and highest potential. It’s a journey of self-discovery that will inspire, elevate and empower.

My story, ‘Heart, Wisdom, Truth, and Destiny’ is now live as part of ‘Voices of the Twenty-First Century, Women Transforming the World’

My story, ‘Heart, Wisdom, Truth, and Destiny’ is now live as part of an anthology today along with 45 other sister-authors co-creating #voicesofthe21stcentury.

I am delighted and grateful to share that it has reached amazon bestseller status in four countries. Testament to the beautiful, collaborative and co-creative energy that has gone into the project.

Immersing ourselves in story can enable us to reach out to our deeper truths and broaden our scope of perception.

‘Voices of the Twenty-First Century, Women Transforming the World’ is available on Kindle or reach out to me to order a hard copy.

I hope it nourishes and inspires you along with those of all the purposeful women who have had the courage to share.

When I was a young adult, reading ‘Chicken Soup For The Soul’ allowed me to discover the capacity of stories to uplift and inspire hope.

This is a collaborative effort with heart-centered, powerhouse women passionate about uplifting others.

My main book, The Silent Heartache of High Achievers The Greatest Gift You Can Give to Humanity Is To Heal Yourself won’t be published until later, but it’s an exciting step that speaks to the energy of the community and coming together as a greater force for good.

I am so grateful for the support and encouragement received so far.

In the chapter I share my early story, the pivotal moments that led me to understand the impact of the unconscious decisions we can make about the world.

That’s me in the photo, a young, innocent girl visiting England for the first time. Oblivious to the privilege of relocating to a country with abundant opportunities regardless of background.

Going back to visit India a few years later, I saw the world with different eyes.

I experienced compassion in a profoundly transformative way.

That moment of awakening to the world’s imbalance began a lifelong quest to understand the nature of life, the universe, and why such inequality existed.

It activated a purposeful destiny, and it was in that moment that I first realised the power of the heart. I invite you to read my story. Purchase your copy here.
