In a world where success is measured by achievements and accolades, Dr. Tiffany Moon stands out as a powerful example of how leading with purpose and authenticity can make an impact. Whether she's on television, in the operating room, or empowering women through entrepreneurship, Dr. Moon brings a unique blend of expertise, compassion, and confidence to everything she does. Her passion for success and upliftment shines through her commitment to helping women lead meaningful lives, serving her as a beacon of inspiration for women everywhere. But her story doesn't end there.
Dr. Moon's journey from medicine to media, and from motherhood to entrepreneurship, doesn't just reflect her personal success, but reflects resilience, growth, and her unwavering sense of purpose. As a glamorous board-certified anesthesiologist, entrepreneur, TV personality, and mom, we wonder what keeps her driven. The answer is simple: "My family, my faith, and my sense of humour." Although being a star on The Real Housewives of Dallas comes with fame and popularity, her journey extends far beyond reality television. In fact, she credits that experience with teaching her to find her voice, “I used to avoid conflict at all costs, but the experience forced me to face it head-on — and it taught me to stand up for myself.” It’s this kind of growth that defines the chapters of her life.
Beyond medicine and entrepreneurship, Dr. Moon makes a difference through her passion for writing that runs deeper than credentials. Her upcoming book, Joy Prescriptions — set to be published this May — is a heartfelt exploration of what it means to live with authenticity, self-compassion, and intention. It's not just a book, but rather a movement toward letting go of unrealistic standards and being content. This message is a testament to her mission of helping others overcome perfectionism and find lasting joy through gratitude, self-compassion, and connection.
GLAMOUR: What drew you to anesthesiology, and what keeps you passionate?
Dr. Moon: I like patients who are asleep — just kidding! (Sort of.) But seriously, I love being in control, and no specialty offers the kind of precision anesthesiology does. I literally get to put people to sleep, control how many times they breathe, what their heart rate and blood pressure are, and then wake them up after a complex surgery with minimal pain. It gives me so much gratification. I also like focusing on one patient at a time — some specialties juggle dozens at once, but I like to give my full attention to one patient at a time.
GLAMOUR: What inspired you to branch into entrepreneurship?
Dr. Moon: I’ve never been great at sitting still. Medicine taught me discipline; entrepreneurship gave me permission to be creative and curious. The candle company started as a creative outlet. The wine? That was just me combining two of my favourite things — joy and a nice glass of Cabernet. I love building things that make people feel something. That same passion inspired me to create LeadHer Summit, a leadership conference for women who are ready to stop waiting for permission and start leading with purpose and joy. For me, entrepreneurship is about building spaces — whether it’s a candle, a glass of wine, or a community — where people feel seen, celebrated, and empowered.
GLAMOUR: How did Real Housewives of Dallas shape your personal and professional outlook?
Dr. Moon: Real Housewives of Dallas pushed me to find my voice and stand up for myself in a way I hadn’t before. I used to avoid conflict at all costs, but the experience forced me to face it head-on—and it taught me to stand up for myself. Not every moment was easy (and no, I didn’t walk away with a new girl gang), but I’m still grateful. It showed me how important it is to stay grounded in who you are—even when you’re being judged by people who don’t really know you. It also reminded me that grace under pressure is a superpower worth cultivating.
GLAMOUR: How do you practice self-compassion and overcome perfectionism?
Dr. Moon: I ask myself, “Would you say this to your best friend?” If not, it doesn’t belong in my head either. I’ve learned that done is better than perfect, that joy lives in the messy middle, and that my kids don’t care if the laundry’s folded — they just want me to be present. That perspective keeps me sane.
GLAMOUR: What does women empowerment look like to you?
Dr. Moon: Empowerment is about access, not aesthetics. It’s using your voice, your vote, your dollars, and your platform to lift others up — and realizing that someone else’s success doesn’t diminish your own. I’m a big believer in collaboration over competition. When one of us rises, we all do.
GLAMOUR: How do you use your platform to build community and empowerment?
Dr. Moon: I share both the highlight reel and the behind-the-scenes. I talk about the wins and the therapy bills. When people see the full picture, they realize they’re not alone — and that’s where true connection begins. That’s why I tried to be vulnerable and completely honest in my memoir, Joy Prescriptions. I also try to use humor as a bridge. In a world that feels increasingly divided, sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is laugh together. Joy — and laughter — can be deeply unifying.
GLAMOUR: What advice would you give to women struggling with confidence?
Dr. Moon: Confidence isn’t something you find — it’s something you build by doing scary things on purpose. Start small. Keep promises to yourself. And remember: you don’t have to be fearless — just willing. Here’s the thing about confidence: it grows with experience. Of course you're nervous the first time you post something vulnerable or speak on a stage. That fear isn’t a sign you’re not ready—it’s a sign you’re growing. After the tenth time, you realize the confidence was inside you all along—you just had to give it space to show up.
GLAMOUR: What’s next for you, personally and professionally?
Dr. Moon: Professionally, I’m focused on spreading the message of Joy Prescriptions far and wide—and stepping more fully into my role as a motivational speaker so I can help more women reclaim their joy. I also want to expand my coaching work with professional women. I know how isolating that pressure can be. Personally, protecting my peace, raising good humans, and maybe finally learning how to rest without guilt. (Still working on that last one.)
GLAMOUR: What keeps you grounded through it all?
Dr. Moon: My family, my faith, and my sense of humor. Because no matter how many degrees you earn or followers you gain, life has a way of humbling you. I just try to take it one day at a time, stay grateful, and always find the funny in life.
