How Pleasure Speaks When You’re Ready to Listen

Last night I dreamed I was called by a different name—not Anna, but Cleopatra.

The dream opened in a summer house near the water that reminded me of the gorgeous home in “The Summer I Turned Pretty.”

The scent of essential oils clung to my skin and I faintly felt the warm, salty breeze.

There was a man that felt like “first-love” energy and I felt both seen and tested.

Then, as I was leaving I heard a guard’s voice and he called me by a name that vibrated through my bones: Cleopatra.

When I woke up, my heart was both racing and steady.

The dream felt less like a story and more like a coronation rehearsal:
a moment where my own essence was being recognized.

In the pool scene I felt exposure…the tension of being visible.

In the scent scene I met authenticity…the decision to love my own fragrance even when others don’t (because, to be honest, I know that my work is not for everyone).

My old high school under construction showed the part of me still rebuilding my old work habits.

The golden retriever ran ahead of as heart energy, wanting to be free yet still loyal to its master.

And there were majestic marble elephants where the golden retriever led me to. It was like they’ve been waiting for me to remind me of my strength that is both ancient and tender.

Each image whispered the same message:

You can be fully seen and not feel exposed.
You can lead with authority without leaving joy behind.

For years I’ve studied how our body carries wisdom…you know: the quiet power that lives in rhythm, scent, and sensation.

It’s the kind of wisdom that comes only when you get completely still and listen intently for the message.

This dream felt like a language lesson in that truth.

“Cleopatra” wasn’t about a queen from history; it was about the part of every woman who rules through grace, magnetism, and self-possession. Yes! The queen who knows when to be kind and when to use tough love.

When I talk about pleasure now, I don’t mean luxury or indulgence.

It’s how my body says yes.

It’s how I know the energy’s moving, that I’m creating from desire—not duty.

And power? It’s not about control. It’s that quiet groundedness that comes when your whole system feels safe to be deeply met.

That dream asked me to hold both: the ease of being seen and the steadiness of staying grounded.

…so I can stop hiding my strength behind humility.
…so I can let my presence be felt without forcing anything.

That’s where Womb Codes of Pleasure & Power started.

It’s a space I created so that intuition, sensuality, and legacy can belong in the same room. Because they’re not separate parts of us. Instead, they feed each other.

It’s about remembering that your creative energy isn’t something you have to earn or chase. It’s already in you. Although, sometimes, when it’s stuck, we have to 1) recognize that it is and 2) know how to move it so it can flow freely.

If your dreams have been calling you by new names, they might be showing you who you’re becoming.

They’re not testing you. They’re inviting you to rise differently.

That’s what we explore inside Womb Codes of Pleasure & Power — how to build a relationship with your body that’s steady enough to hold your vision and alive enough to lead it.

We look at where your nervous system, sensuality, and leadership overlap — and how to bring them back into flow when they don’t.

If you want to start that reconnection now:

• Light a candle.

• Put on a scent that feels like you.

• Whisper:

My essence is sacred.
My presence is steady.
My pleasure moves my power.

When you’re ready to remember what your body already knows, come join me inside Womb Codes of Pleasure & Power.

Dreams may not predict your future but they prepare you for it.

If something in your body has been whispering your next name, listen.

That’s where your next chapter begins.
