How to Take Your Manifestations to the Next Level


Today, we're diving into the world of effective money management, but we're going beyond the numbers. We'll explore how you can manage your finances not just logically but also by integrating your heart and your head. So, grab your financial statements, and let's embark on a journey to financial empowerment.




1. Financial Awareness: The Foundation


In today's ever-changing economic landscape, being financially aware is crucial. It's like having a GPS for your financial journey. Many of us tend to avoid opening financial statements, fearing the numbers within. However, choosing to be aware is the first step towards financial empowerment. Don't shy away from your financial reality – embrace it.


Forget the word "budget." Instead, focus on understanding where your money is going. What debts are you accumulating? Take those envelopes with bills and face them head-on. Your courage to confront your financial situation is your first act of empowerment.


2. Staying Financially Empowered


Once you're aware of your financial situation, the next step is to stay financially empowered. This means taking control of your financial destiny. You don't need complex spreadsheets or software; a simple pen and paper will suffice. List your debts, their interest rates, and the payments you're making. Prioritize paying off the high-interest debts first while making minimum payments on others. This approach allows you to regain control of your financial life.


Furthermore, evaluate your investments. Do you know why you're investing in what you're investing in? Connect with the companies you're investing in; do you support their values and how they impact the world? Staying financially empowered means aligning your investments with your values.


3. Financial Check-Ups: The Date Night for Your Wallet


Consider scheduling regular financial check-ups, even if you're single. It's like a date night with your wallet. These check-ups can be done with a trusted friend, family member, or a financial planner. They serve as an accountability system and help you stay on track with your financial goals. Don't wait for financial problems to emerge; be proactive and make these check-ups a part of your financial routine.


4. Identifying Leaky Containers


"Leaky containers" are situations where your money is flowing out unnecessarily. Identify these situations in your life. It might be lending your credit card to a family member who's been out of college for years or constantly bailing out a spouse who doesn't share your financial goals. Boundaries are essential in managing these leaky containers. It's okay to say no and encourage others to take charge of their financial lives.


5. Choose Your Financial Life


Lastly, remember that the universe responds to action. You can have all the financial goals and dreams, but without action, they remain elusive. Take steps to shift your financial energy toward your goals. Whether it's saving more, investing wisely, or reducing debt, every action moves you closer to your financial aspirations.


Managing your money effectively isn't just about numbers and budgets; it's about empowering yourself to take control of your financial life. Start by being financially aware, then stay empowered by taking charge of your debts and investments. Schedule regular financial check-ups and identify and mend leaky containers in your financial life. Finally, remember that your financial future is in your hands, so take action to shape it as you desire.


If you're looking for additional guidance and support, consider exploring resources like the "IMPACT" online course coming soon or "The Four Spiritual Laws of Money" book. Together, we can attain real wealth and create lives that are truly on our terms. Financial empowerment awaits!

Reset Your Money Energy for 2026 Every December, we all feel that pull, the desire to “be better with money next year.” But here’s the secret I’ve seen again and again after nearly three decades of walking alongside people from all walks of life: Financially wealthy people don’t just plan their next year — they energetically complete the one they’re leaving. They close loops. They clear emotional residue. They realign their energy field before they set a single goal. And you can absolutely do the same. As I share in The Emotion Behind Money , wealth is never created by logic alone. It comes from managing the emotions behind your money and understanding that money itself is energy. And in Awaken Your Wealth , I remind readers that energetic shifts begin when you consciously picture yourself stepping into a new reality, while compassionately acknowledging the one you’re standing in now. So let’s walk through the simple year-end process I teach my clients — one that spiritually, emotionally, and financially resets your money field for a powerful 2026. 1. Review Your 2025 Wins & Losses With Compassion Before you step into the new year, look back with the most loving, nonjudgmental eyes possible. I call it neutral observation . Wealthy people don’t spiral into shame when something didn’t go perfectly. They get curious. Ask yourself: Where did I expand financially this year? Where did I contract emotionally or economically? What choices were truly aligned with my values? Which ones came from fear, scarcity, or old patterns? In Awaken Your Wealth , the “Accepting Reality and Awakening” step of PACT teaches that awareness without judgment is how we break old money patterns for good. So breathe. Notice. Write it down. No shame. No spiral. Just truth. 2. Forgive Any Money Mistakes Here’s a truth most people never consider: Every financial mistake carries emotional weight and emotional weight blocks money flow. From my work in The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money , we know that your heart’s energy is more powerful than your brain’s logic, and intention is what redirects energy back into alignment. Forgiveness, of yourself, your past self, or others involved, releases stagnant money energy. Try this: Write down any money decisions from 2025 that still feel heavy. Place your hand on your heart. Say: "I forgive the version of me who made this choice. She/he did the best they could with what they knew at the time.” Forgiveness isn’t about letting mistakes slide. It’s about resetting your emotional money field so you can co-create something new. 3. Create an Energetic Closing Ceremony for the Year This is where wealthy people truly separate themselves; they honor the transition. You can create your own year-end ceremony using whatever resonates from your spiritual toolkit. Here are a few ideas inspired by the intention-setting and clearing practices throughout my work: Light a candle Symbolize releasing the old year and calling in the new. Write a “completion list” Include everything you’re ready to release: debts you’re no longer carrying shame over, relationships you’re energetically cutting cords from, patterns you’re finished reenacting. Burn or bury the list This physical act tells the Universe: “I’m done living from this version of myself.” In The Emotion Behind Money , we explore how inherited beliefs and emotional patterns repeat until they are consciously released. This ceremony is your line in the sand. End with intention Close with one powerful intention for 2026, aligned from your heart: “I choose a new flow of abundance.” “I trust that money comes to me with ease.” “I allow myself to receive the wealth I’ve been working toward.” As The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money reminds us: “The Universe responds to action.” Your ceremony is your spiritual action. Ready to Step Into 2026 Aligned, Clear & Empowered? If you’re craving deeper support with your financial reset, join me for my Emotions Behind Money Workshop in January. If you’ve been feeling the nudge to recalibrate your relationship with money, this is your moment. Let’s make 2026 the year your inner wealth and your financial reality finally match. You deserve abundance and you’re closer than you think. With love, alignment & a whole lot of possibility, Julie ✨
