The last full supermoon of the year carries a powerful energy — an energy of release, renewal, and emotional clearing. In this episode of Soulfire, we step into a sacred full moon ritual created especially for those grieving, those missing someone, and those carrying weight they no longer want to hold.

Whether this is your first holiday season without your loved one, your tenth, or your twentieth… the ache still finds its way in. And I want you to know — you are not alone. I’m sitting with you. I’m breathing with you. And tonight, we release together.

This episode guides you through a gentle but deeply healing full moon ritual designed to help you let go of what no longer serves your heart: guilt, heaviness, old stories, old versions of yourself, resentment, avoidance, anger, and the pain you’ve been carrying in silence.

✨ FULL MOON RITUAL STEPS ✨

1. Prepare Your Space
Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Light a candle if you can. Bring a journal, a piece of paper, and something to write with.

2. Ground Yourself
Place one hand on your heart, one on your belly.
Breathe in for four counts… hold… exhale completely.
Repeat until you feel your body soften.

3. Write What You’re Releasing
On your paper, write:
“What am I ready to let go of tonight?”
Let it pour out.
The grief. The guilt. The thoughts that haunt you at night.
The expectations. The pressure. The versions of yourself built from pain.

4. Give Your Grief a Voice
Write a message to your loved one — whatever your heart has been holding.
A goodbye, an apology, a memory, a moment you’re afraid to forget.
Let them sit with you in this moment.

5. Speak Your Release
Read your release list out loud or silently.
Then say:
“Under this full moon, I release what was never meant to stay. I honor my grief, and I make space for healing.”

6. Let It Go
Tear the paper. Burn it safely if you can.
Or place it in water and let it dissolve.
Imagine the moon carrying it off your shoulders.

7. Call in What You Need
Write a new page:
“I am ready to receive…”
Fill it with what your healing heart deserves — peace, rest, connection, strength, clarity, gentleness.

Write:
Your Release List + Your Receive List

Reflect:
“What part of me felt lighter after this release?”

Affirm:
“I am allowed to heal. I am allowed to feel. I am allowed to begin again.”

This episode is for anyone grieving under tonight’s moon. Anyone who has felt heavy this holiday season. Anyone who hasn’t felt like themselves. Anyone who needs a moment of permission to rest, release, and begin again.

You are not alone.
Your grief is valid.
Your love is forever.
And your Soulfire — even dim — is still alive.

The days after the holidays can be the heaviest.

In this tender episode, I Share the truth about navigating Thanksgiving without a loved one —

whether it’s the first year, fourth year, or the twentieth.

This is a soft place to land when the grief hits, a reminder that you’re not alone, and a gentle call to honor the ache and your strength.

When you start healing, nobody tells you how much you’ll change.
You stop chasing chaos, you crave stillness, and sometimes that peace feels like loneliness.

In Episode 11 of Soulfire, Jesica Bush explores the quiet transformation that happens when healing shifts your identity. She shares how letting go of old versions of yourself can feel like grief — and how that process creates space for peace, purpose, and alignment.

✨ Soulfire Work:
Write three ways you’ve changed through healing.
Reflect on what parts of yourself you’re afraid to release.
Affirm:

“I honor every version of me — the one who broke, the one who healed, and the one who’s still becoming.”

Nobody really talks about this part of healing —

the exhaustion that comes once your body finally feels safe. When your nervous system comes out of survival mode, rest isn’t laziness — it’s recovery.

In this episode of Soulfire, Jesica Bush dives into the calm after the storm — the silence your body craves when it’s no longer fighting to survive. She shares how exhaustion is actually the body’s way of healing and how to give yourself permission to rest without guilt.

✨ Soulfire Work:

Write how your body has been asking for rest.

Reflect on what guilt you feel about slowing down.

Breathe and remind yourself: “I am safe now. It’s okay to rest. My healing is not behind — it’s arriving.”

You’ve heard of the 5 stages of grief: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance.

But what if they were never meant to be a map—just a guide? In Episode 9 of Soulfire, we dig deep into the origin of the 5 stages, what they got right, where they fail, and why grief doesn’t follow neat steps.

I share how I tried to force myself through stages, how shame crept in when grief looped back, and how I’ve learned that grief speaks in spirals, not straight lines. You’re invited to release the pressure to “complete” grief and instead lean into a journey of love, pain, and your own path.

✨ Soulfire Work: Create a two-column list of “expected stage” vs “my truth.”

Reflect on what you resisted. Breathe: “I honor my grief on my own path. There is no wrong way to love.”

After loss, forgiveness can feel impossible—especially when the person you need to forgive isn’t another human, but life itself.

In this episode of Soulfire, Jesica Bush explores the sacred process of forgiving life, rebuilding trust, and learning to breathe again after heartbreak.

✨ Soulfire Work:

Write a letter to Life. Tell it the truth—your anger, your questions, your heartbreak.

Then, write a second paragraph beginning with, “And yet…” to express what you’re ready to release.

Reflect on where you’ve placed blame and what it might feel like to trust again.

Breathe 🌬️Inhale hope, exhale resistance.

Whisper: “I forgive life for not going the way I planned. I trust that love still leads me forward.”

After loss, even happiness can feel wrong. We fear that if we laugh, love, or feel joy, we’re betraying the memory of the one we lost. But healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means remembering with love.

In this episode of Soulfire, we explore the courage it takes to feel again, to open your heart without guilt, and to welcome life back in.

✨ Soulfire Work:

Journal about a moment you felt joy after your loss.

Reflect on what your loved one would say if they saw you smiling again.

Breathe:

Hand on heart and hand on your belly-

Whisper: “It’s safe to feel. My love and my healing can exist together.”

I love you all - keep going i believe in you and you are not in this grief alone

Avoidance feels safe in grief. We stay busy, distract ourselves, or numb the pain, convincing ourselves that if we don’t look at it, it won’t hurt as much. But avoidance doesn’t heal us—it delays the pain, strains our relationships, and keeps our wounds open.

In this episode of Soulfire, I share how avoidance showed up in my journey, the hidden cost it carried, and how I finally learned that facing my grief was the only way to move forward.

✨ Soulfire Work:

1. Write down the ways you avoid your grief.

2. Reflect on what you’re afraid will happen if you stop avoiding.

3. Breathe deeply and whisper: “I give myself permission to stop running. My Soulfire can hold this.”

Grief doesn’t always show up as tears—sometimes it shows up as anger. In this episode, I sit down with Guinevere Smith to talk about her grief journey, the fire of anger that rose after her loss, and the ways she is learning to honor her Soulfire through it all.

This conversation is raw, real, and a reminder that there is no right way to grieve. Anger, silence, laughter, pain—it’s all part of love.

✨ Soulfire Work: Write one thing you wish you could tell your loved one. Reflect on what truth lies beneath your anger. Breathe in, hand on your heart, and whisper: “I honor my grief. I honor my love. My Soulfire is still alive.”
