There was a time when the end of the month felt like a blur. I’d rush to calculate income, try to remember what I spent, and make vague plans for the next few weeks—if I had the energy.

It wasn’t strategy. It was survival.

Everything changed when I stopped treating my finances like a to-do list and started treating them like a ritual.

A ritual is different. It’s intentional. Personal. Sacred. It’s something you want to return to because it makes you feel grounded, clear, and connected.

And when I turned my monthly finance review into a ritual, my business stopped feeling chaotic and started feeling aligned.

Let me show you how to create one of your own.

Why a Monthly Finance Ritual Works

When you check in with your numbers consistently, you:

  • Spot leaks or problems early

  • Celebrate progress instead of skipping over it

  • Adjust your goals with clarity instead of panic

  • Build self-trust around money decisions

Monthly rituals work because they bridge logic and intuition. You see your data—and then ask yourself how it feels.

That balance is what creates sustainable growth.

What You Need to Start

You don’t need a fancy system. Just:

  • 1 hour on your calendar (block it now)

  • A calm space (coffee, candle, cozy playlist—your vibe)

  • Your income + expense tracker

  • A journal or Notion doc

Bonus: use my free Financial Starter Kit with templates to guide you.

My Monthly Finance Ritual (Feel Free to Steal It)

I do this at the end of every month or the first day of the next.

1. Gather Your Numbers

  • Total income this month

  • Total expenses (grouped by type)

  • Profit margin (Income - Expenses)

💡 Use a color-coded tracker for visual clarity.

2. Review + Reflect

Ask:

  • What worked financially this month?

  • What didn’t?

  • What surprised me?

  • What am I proud of?

💡 Include emotional wins—like charging more, saying no, or not panicking.

3. Realign Your Goals

  • Are my current goals still aligned with what I want?

  • What’s my revenue goal for next month?

  • What offers or strategies feel good right now?

💡 Set both money and energy goals. Example: $5K revenue + calm launch schedule.

4. Prep + Plan

  • Any big expenses coming up?

  • What do I want to invest in?

  • What’s one habit I want to commit to next month?

💡 Write a money affirmation or intention to anchor your focus.

Why It Feels Like Magic

This ritual isn’t just about clarity—it’s about embodiment.

When you connect with your numbers from a calm place, they stop feeling like a threat and start feeling like a tool.

You get to lead your business with confidence. You get to track progress without self-judgment. You get to grow in a way that actually feels good.

That’s the magic.

Your Turn

If you’ve never done this before, start simple.

  • Pick a day each month (put it in your calendar).

  • Use the free starter kit.

  • Light a candle. Pour a coffee. Breathe.

The more you return to this ritual, the more grounded you’ll feel in your money journey.

Numbers aren’t just metrics. They’re mirrors.

A monthly ritual is your chance to pause, look closely, and ask: Is the way I’m earning and spending aligned with the life I want to live?

That’s where the power is.
