Vaishali Roy, author and life coach, is rewriting the rules of recovery. By redefining revenge as a form of self-empowerment, she’s transforming how women heal from narcissistic abuse—turning survival into unstoppable strength.
From Breakdown to Breakthrough
In 2022, during what was meant to be a peaceful holiday in Rishikesh, Vaishali Roy’s life shifted in an instant. A near-fatal accident left her with three metal plates in her body and months of grueling recovery. Yet, this painful chapter became the catalyst for a transformation that defied conventional healing and birthed an entirely new philosophy on life, empowerment, and recovery.
For most, “revenge” evokes images of anger and retribution. Vaishali, however, saw an opportunity to redefine it entirely. Her version? Building a life so magnificent that those who once tried to diminish you become irrelevant.
“The ultimate revenge isn’t hurting someone who hurt you—it’s building a life so magnificent that their opinion of you becomes completely irrelevant. When you’re thriving beyond their wildest imagination, you realize the best revenge was never about them at all. It was about becoming who you were always meant to be,” she says.
Turning Pain into Power
In the self-help world, survivors of toxic relationships are often told to “forgive and forget.” Vaishali challenges this narrative head-on. To her, true healing isn’t about absolving an abuser—it’s about reclaiming your narrative, rebuilding your foundation, and refusing to shrink to make others comfortable.
“We’ve been told to forgive and forget, to heal quietly and keep others comfortable. But what if healing isn’t about becoming smaller? What if it’s about becoming so unapologetically powerful that you never have to shrink again?”
Her work especially resonates with women recovering from narcissistic abuse, offering them more than platitudes—she provides structure, tools, and a clear, actionable path to transformation.
The Midnight Courage Movement
One of Vaishali’s most powerful concepts is “Midnight Courage,” born from a universal, unspoken moment of vulnerability.
“At 3 AM, when the world sleeps and your defenses are down, every woman asks the same question: ‘Am I enough?’ My mission is to transform those midnight doubts into morning courage. Because the conversations we have with ourselves in the dark are often the most honest ones we’ll ever have.”
Through her books, online platforms, and community engagement, she equips women with strategies to turn self-doubt into clarity and strength.
The 13-Step Framework: A Blueprint for Transformation
What sets Vaishali’s coaching apart is her 13-step framework—a strategic, results-driven path from trauma to triumph. Each step includes specific protocols, from cutting contact with toxic people to rebuilding life foundations and reclaiming personal identity. Progress is measurable, ensuring that change is not just emotional, but tangible.
“Love yourself more’ isn’t a strategy—it’s a wish. I don’t deal in wishes. I provide blueprints—thirteen actionable steps that take you from surviving to thriving.”
Empowerment in the Indian Context
As an Indian woman, Vaishali addresses a unique set of cultural challenges—balancing family expectations, societal pressures, and personal freedom. She emphasizes that empowerment doesn’t have to mean rejecting cultural identity; rather, it’s about creating space for authenticity within it.
“Empowerment for Indian women isn’t just about personal freedom—it’s about navigating traditions and societal pressures while honoring your true self. You can respect your roots without letting them strangle your growth.”
A Ripple Effect Beyond the Individual
For Vaishali, transformation extends beyond the self.
“When one woman heals completely, she creates a ripple effect. Her daughters see what’s possible. Her friends witness authentic strength. Her community benefits from her contributions.”
This generational shift is central to her mission: changing how women see themselves and the futures they believe they deserve.
Coaching: Where Transformation Becomes Inevitable
While her books inspire thousands, Vaishali’s coaching practice offers personalized, hands-on transformation for women ready to rebuild their lives. Working from Jamnagar, Gujarat, with clients across India and internationally, she offers both individual coaching sessions and self-paced learning modules.
“Books can inspire and inform, but coaching is where transformation becomes inevitable. When someone has personalized support, accountability, and strategies tailored to their specific situation, that’s when we see breakthrough results,” she says.
Her specialized practice guides women through the complex journey from narcissistic abuse to complete life reconstruction. Clients engage with practical exercises, receive ongoing support through difficult moments, and develop sustainable skills to maintain their strength long-term.
In addition to life coaching, Vaishali offers comprehensive wellness coaching that addresses every aspect of a woman’s life—delivering inside-out transformation that improves overall quality of life and creates truly holistic results.
Building a Future So Powerful the Past Becomes Irrelevant
Vaishali’s mission is simple but radical: to help women stop merely “healing from the past” and start creating futures so compelling that the past no longer matters.
“What would your life look like if you stopped healing from your past and started building a future so magnificent that the past doesn’t matter? That’s not just recovery—that’s revolution.”
Through her books, frameworks, and coaching programs, she provides the tools, strategies, and mindset shifts necessary for lasting transformation.
For those ready to rewrite their story, Vaishali Roy offers more than hope—she offers a plan.
