Ready to name the dream? (For real this time.)
Ever since my birthday a few weeks ago, and a particularly potent tarot pull, I’ve been rolling the same question over in my mind:
What’s the dream you’re afraid to admit?
It’s been working me—cracking me open, turning me inside out.
There’s so much percolating. So much taking root.
And when the time is right, I’ll share more with you.
But right now, I’m more curious about you.
Today is Beltane, a cross-quarter holiday that sits halfway between the spring equinox and summer solistice—a threshold moment. (If it helps orient you, Halloween, or Samhain, is the cross-quarter holiday between the fall equinox and winter solstice.)
Beltane is the season of desire, life force, and creative ignition.
A time when nature doesn’t hold back, and neither should we.
So let me ask:
What’s trying to bloom in you—if only you’d let it?
Because sometimes—often, actually—the reason we’re stuck is that we’re secretly working toward the wrong thing.
And the universe, in all her wild and loving wisdom, isn’t going to clear the path to the thing that isn’t meant for you.
She wants you to move toward your truth.
Toward the dream that brings you into your most joyful, vibrant, free, and integrated self.
What clues have you been getting?
Where are things sticky, frustrating, not quite flowing?
Is there a dream you’re chasing that… maybe isn’t really yours?
Is there a part of you that doesn’t actually want it?
I can’t tell you how often I see this—like when people are applying for jobs they don’t actually want, or building offers they’re not excited to deliver.
Sometimes your heart is already headed north… and the rest of you just hasn’t caught up yet.
What becomes possible when you tell the truth?
What might shift—gently, beautifully—if you fully admitted what your heart is truly asking for?
And if you're wondering, how do I tell the difference between a roadblock that’s a detour… and one that’s a deep invitation to heal and grow?
That discernment lives right in your body.
When you learn how to listen to it, you start to recognize the difference between fear and misalignment… between “not yet” and “not ever.”
If you want support with that, my Body Compass Mini Course is a beautiful place to begin.
It’s a foundation for my work with my 1:1 clients, and helps you tap into—and trust!—the wisdom that’s already inside you.
Because sometimes it’s resistance.
Sometimes it’s redirection.
And your body knows the difference.
If you want a witness—I’m here.
Holding space for soul callings is one of my greatest joys.
Will you reply and tell me?
Or, if you’re not quite ready to write it down but want to say it aloud, send me a voice message on Voxer.
(Just download the app, connect with me at OliviaBowenCoach, and record a little memo.)
This is the season to let something bloom.
The magic will begin to unfold the moment you name it.
