About
Tabby Biddle, M.S. Ed., is a writer, writing coach and consultant dedicated to empowering women and girls to use their voices as global leaders.
As an advocate for the feminine voice, she works with women leaders and emerging leaders on non-fiction books, articles and blogs to help them articulate their message, increase their visibility, and grow their influence. To advance awareness of issues affecting women and girls around the world, she is a regular contributor to The Huffington Post on women’s issues, human rights, and organizations dedicated to empowering women and girls. Tabby’s work has been featured by The Los Angeles Times, USA Today, UN Dispatch, NPR, Current TV, Gaiam, and other popular online media.
In her 20 years in the personal growth and media industries, Tabby has traveled extensively both on an internal and global journey. She began her career in politics and journalism at The Women’s Campaign Fund, CNN and National Geographic Magazine. Later, sparked by an intuitive calling, she left the desk-life to head to Southeast Asia, Nepal and India for an 18-month spiritual journey. During her trip, she taught English to Tibetan monks and began teaching yoga to Tibetan refugee teenage girlsin Dharamsala, India. Tabby later moved to London and served as magazine editor for the Free Tibet Campaign.
Passionate about travel, adventure and connecting with people from around the world, Tabby took an opportunity to report on the lives of children in the Middle East for an education company called GlobaLearn. This job opened Tabby to the power and authentic beauty of working with children. As a result, she made a career switch to teaching. She moved to New York City and worked at City & Country School where she taught preschool, kindergarten, and yoga for children.
Seven years later, in 2006, Tabby moved to Santa Monica, California, where she integrated her passions for teaching, yoga, personal growth, adventure and writing. She launched Lotus Blossom Style, a yoga apparel company designed to help women claim and celebrate the Goddess, and in turn, themselves. She began writing The Goddess Diaries to open up discussion on important women’s issues, which led her to re-launch her career as a journalist/writer — this time as an advocate for empowering women and girls, and supporting women changemakers to get their message out. Her popular column, Goddess of the Week, features women doing work to heal and empower women and girls around the world.
Tabby earned her Master’s degree in Education from Bank Street College in New York City, and her Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Colby College in Maine. She currently resides in Santa Monica, CA with her husband, Lee Schneider, and kitten, Max Frederick.
