From Menstruation to Moonpause: The Spiritual Rite of Passage No One Talks About

Episode #125 - In this soul-stirring episode, I sit down with Tanishka, also known as The Moon Woman — a global leader in the women’s spirituality movement. For nearly three decades, Tanishka has empowered women to reclaim their birthright of ancient mystic traditions.

She’s the author of 6 transformative books, including Goddess Wisdom (Hay House), which explores the power of archetypes, emotional healing, and relationship dynamics. Her lunar guidance blog was followed by over 500,000 people for 11 years, and she has trained women in 44 countries to lead Red Tent circles that offer support during the darkest lunar phase — menstruation and emotional descent.

In this conversation, we explore the rising voice of midlife women, the spiritual opportunity of perimenopause, and how honoring the moon’s wisdom reconnects us with our feminine essence. Tanishka also shares a glimpse into her upcoming book Metaphysical Moonpause and retreats in Bali and Morocco designed to initiate women into this sacred new chapter.

This episode is a call to remember, reclaim, and rise.
