The Named Ritual is an Instagram reel idea that fits almost any coaching business. Read how a solo executive coach and a solo cookbook writer approached it before you write your own.
The recipe
- Frame it as a weird little ritual: Open your on-screen text by calling it a weird little ritual, so it feels accessible instead of aspirational.
- Name the day and the action: Say what you do and which day you do it, and give the ritual a borrowable day-of-week name.
- Promise the outcome: Add the real change it's made for you, then invite them to try it too.
- Film the wordless selfie: Shoot casual real-time footage of yourself doing the thing, with one large text block pinned at the top and no spoken audio.
Your Studio follows these beats when it writes your script.

Why it worked
The video positions a high-leverage habit as a "weird little ritual" so it feels accessible, not aspirational. Naming it (Shoot Your Shot Wednesday) gives your audience a brand hook they can remember verbatim. Day-of-week branding makes it feel doable starting this week. The wordless selfie plus big text format reads as real and unscripted.
Examples
A solo executive coach
“I have this weird little ritual where every Wednesday before my first client call, I walk for 30 minutes with no phone. It's called Walk-it-Out Wednesdays and it's legit made me sharper for my clients than any prep ritual ever has.”
She films the walk wordless, the whole ritual pinned as one text block over real footage, no voiceover.
A solo cookbook writer
“I have this weird little ritual where every Friday I order one ingredient I've never cooked with and make something with it. It's called Freestyle Fridays and it's sparked an entire chapter of my next book.”
She films herself cooking with the mystery ingredient, the ritual pitch pinned as one text block, no spoken audio.
