The Erica Glessing Show Podcast #756 Feat. Tanishka "Creativity, the Moon & Fearless Expression"

Welcome to today’s soulful episode where we dive deep into the magic of moon cycles, creative flow, and fearless feminine expression. Our radiant guest is Tanishka the Moon Woman, a global spiritual teacher, author, and guide for women attuning to their inner rhythms.

Currently in the UK after an adventurous solo van trip from Morocco through Spain, Tanishka shares her nomadic lifestyle and how her connection to nature keeps her grounded and creatively inspired.

In this inspiring and rare conversation, Tanishka breaks down how the moon’s phases affect women’s energy, emotions, libido, and creativity—and how to align with these rhythms instead of pushing through them. She explains the power of the new moon as a time for rest, reflection, and self-care, and the full moon as a time to launch, connect, and shine.

This episode airs on the day of the Strawberry moon!

For women writers, creators, and entrepreneurs, Tanishka offers powerful insights into channeling inspiration. She opens up about never experiencing writer’s block—thanks to a Kundalini awakening—and shares how we can all access our muse by showing up without pressure or perfectionism.

About Tanishka

Tanishka is a world-renowned author, speaker and facilitator whose passion is empowering people to transform how they see themselves and the world. A former stand-up comic, she makes esoteric concepts compelling and relevant with her unique blend of insight and humour.

Known as ‘The Moon Woman’ for the daily blog she delivered for 11 years to half a million people, she has a talent for demystifying how the cycles of nature initiate us to mature…ancient wisdom that’s essential for social sustainability.

Her work has been translated into multiple languages. Below are examples of how she transformed her struggles into inspiration to assist others…

At the age of 12 she was bullied and excluded by peers. This inspired her to train women in 44 countries to create sisterhood circles that welcome girls to their womanhood to heal the ‘mean girl’ culture.

As a young woman, she suffered from depression and internalised misogyny until one night at the age of 26 she got down on her knees and cried out to the Universe to send her some female role models. Her prayer was answered, resulting in her book, The Inner Goddess Makeover which empowers the 7 feminine archetypes that map the psyche. She also created an online program called the 13 Moons to help women at the time of the lunar cycle when they are most at risk of depression.

When Tanishka married and became a mother, she struggled to maintain her relationship with an immature man. This resulted in a challenging chapter as a sole parent that included homelessness. So she created programs to initiate men and wrote the book, The Grail which decodes The Holy Grail; the ancient rite of passage that supports men during the time on the seasonal wheel when men are most at risk of illness, injury, depression and suicide.

After a year and a half in lock down In Melbourne, Australia, Tanishka visited 10 countries offering consciousness-raising events to empower people to respond to our global crisis as alchemists, not activists, promoting a quantum approach to harness ‘people power’. She shares her insights for global social change at festivals and events, as a freelance writer and as a guest on podcasts.
