Anoushka Florence is the UK-based author and founder of The Goddess Space. Inspired by her own spiritual journey, Anoushka dedicated herself to creating sacred spaces that empower and uplift women. Her mission centres around reviving the ancient tradition of women gathering in circles—a practice she beautifully explores in her debut book, The Women’s Circle, now available for pre-order.
Discovering Your Own Path: Letting Go of “Shoulds”
Anoushka shares how she found freedom by questioning what she’d been taught and tuning into her own values and desires. Rather than following societal norms, she chose to forge her own way, guided by inner wisdom. She encourages women to trust themselves and let go of expectations that no longer resonate.
Living Life with a “Just Say Yes” Mindset
Adopting a “just say yes” mantra, Anoushka explains, transformed her life. This approach invited unexpected opportunities, fostering growth and resilience by embracing life’s flow instead of resisting it.
Creating Sacred Spaces for Women to Gather
Through The Goddess Space, Anoushka offers women a nurturing environment to gather, heal, and celebrate one another. She’s taught women worldwide how to hold their own circles, honouring an ancient tradition that promotes collective empowerment. Reclaiming these sacred gatherings has become her life’s work.
The Power of a Home Birth Experience
Anoushka recounts her home birth, describing how this personal, sacred experience deepened her connection to her intuition and to ancestral practices. This choice reflects her dedication to integrating traditional wisdom into everyday life.
Asking for Support: Strength in Vulnerability
Anoushka believes in the strength that comes from asking for help—a crucial lesson for mothers and women often expected to “do it all.” She reminds us that seeking support is essential and can lead to deeper connections with our communities.
Building the “Mama’s Village” for New Mothers
Driven by the need she saw for community among new mothers, Anoushka founded the “mama’s village.” This initiative provides a support system for mothers to share experiences, encouragement, and companionship. The mama’s village revives the ancient idea of nurturing mothers in their transition, recognizing the power of shared support.
