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.

Author Angela Legh (pronounced Lee) shares how a devastating fire that took everything ended up inspiring a series of fairy tales designed to awaken expression and emotional healing!

In this heartwarming episode of The Erica Glessing Show, host Erica Glessing welcomes inspirational children's author Angela Legh to discuss her magical Bella Santini Chronicles. With captivating sincerity, Angela shares her remarkable transformative journey that began after surviving a devastating wildfire in Northern California—a life-changing event that empowered her to end a 32-year marriage, leave her government job behind, and embark on an exciting new chapter writing fairy tales in the enchanting forests of England.

With genuine passion, Angela reveals how her personal healing journey infused her writing with wisdom, weaving emotional intelligence lessons into stories that not only entertain children but offer powerful insights for parents too. She beautifully articulates the importance of allowing children to express their emotions freely rather than suppressing them, explaining that unexpressed feelings don't simply disappear—they accumulate and eventually surface as emotional outbursts.

Angela shares her creative process, finding inspiration in nature and trusting her intuition rather than forcing herself to write on a schedule. She offers aspiring writers encouragement to follow their creative instincts regardless of publication goals.

The interview concludes with Angela providing a practical emotional regulation tool called "focused attention," explaining that emotions naturally last only 90 seconds in the body when we allow ourselves to feel them fully without prolonging them through repetitive thoughts.

In this episode, host Erica Glessing welcomes writer, writing coach, and journalist Francine Brevetti. The two share a common love for writing and an Italian heritage, making for a lively and engaging conversation.

Francine, who was born and raised in San Francisco, shares her journey of living in cities like Los Angeles, Manhattan, and Hong Kong before returning to San Francisco 25 years ago. Now residing in Nob Hill with Chinatown at her back door, she has immersed herself in Cantonese, inspired by the community around her.

The conversation soon shifts to their mutual love for language and storytelling. Francine speaks passionately about her Italian roots and how she connects with her family in Italy every Saturday via Skype. She also discusses her book about the Italian colony in San Francisco, which has received strong reviews. She offers to send Erica a copy, which delights the host.

Erica asks Francine about aspiring writers—those who feel they have a book inside them but struggle to put it on paper. She reflects on her own experience of knowing she would one day write a book, drawing inspiration from the author of A Wrinkle in Time, Madeleine L’Engle, who published her first book at 45.

Francine provides insights into the realities of writing, emphasizing that while many people claim they want to write a book, very few actually start, and even fewer finish. She stresses that writing requires genuine passion, commitment, and humility. "Your friends won’t finish the book for you," she points out. As a writing coach, she helps people navigate writer’s block through relaxation techniques like doodling, mind mapping, and playfully engaging the creative side of the brain.

Erica shares her own perspective on writer’s block—or rather, her lack of experience with it. As someone with a journalism background, she attributes her ability to write freely to years of working under daily deadlines. Erica and Francine agree that having structured writing habits fosters a steady creative flow.

The discussion then turns to Francine’s book about the historic Fior d’Italia restaurant in San Francisco, which was founded in 1886. She shares how her grandfather was once a part-owner and waiter there over a century ago, weaving in stories of the Italian immigrant experience, including the hardships Italians faced during World War II. The two women reflect on the struggles of past generations and how those experiences shaped the Italian-American community.

As the conversation nears its conclusion, Francine offers advice to young writers, encouraging them to follow their curiosity. She believes that passion and curiosity are the most vital tools for any writer. "Writing should start with what excites you and lead you to new places that inspire and surprise you," she advises.

Erica expresses admiration for Francine’s work, particularly in helping entrepreneurs and business professionals write books about their industries. Francine shares an inspiring story about a former janitor who transformed his father’s cleaning business into a high-tech company with thousands of employees, proving that powerful stories exist everywhere.

Wrapping up the episode, Erica invites Francine to share how listeners can connect with her. Francine provides her website, FrancineBrevetti.com, and her email, Francine@FrancineBrevetti.com, signing off with a playful reminder that Brevetti rhymes with spaghetti.

With an episode full of wisdom, passion, and storytelling, listeners are sure to come away inspired to embrace their own writing journeys.
