MY CHIC INTUITION

Letting Go Is Sometimes the Most Chic Thing You Can Do

Speaker 1:

Hi everyone, welcome back. My name is Carmen Ramos and you're listening to my Chic Intuition. It's been so long since I recorded an episode and, let's put it this way, I'm rebranding, I'm calling my power back, I'm creating a space where I'm happy and not bitter. So I welcome you back on my journey to my Chic Intuition. So let's get into it.

Speaker 1:

You know, I never really explained why I named this my chic intuition. People probably think it's about fashion or beauty or looking put together, and yeah, there is a part of me that loves those things. I always will. But that's not what this is about. My chic intuition is something deeper. It's about the part of me I used to ignore, the part that knew when something wasn't right, the part that felt the shift in energy when someone didn't have good intentions, the part of me that would whisper, leave, say no, you're shrinking again. But I didn't listen because I was too busy performing, too busy, proving too busy, trying to be someone they'd like instead of someone I could live with. My chic intuition is me reclaiming that voice, the quiet one, the calm one, the one that does any validation to be right. It's a part of me that got louder when everything around me fell apart. And the word chic, it's not about clothes, it's about grace under pressure. It's about presence. It's about never letting the world see you unravel, even when you're rebuilding everything from scratch. It's style, but internal. It's survival, but elegant. It's intuition, but with red lips and a sharp gaze. It's that version of me that doesn't raise her voice to be heard. She just is. That's what my chic intuition means and, honestly, it saved me.

Speaker 1:

In today's episode, I want to bring you into a story when I've never told like this before. It's raw, it's uncomfortable and it's real. I'm not sharing this for sympathy. I'm sharing it because there's a version of you, maybe past, maybe present who needs to hear it, because you've stayed too long or you've held on quietly, or you've mistaken comfort for love. I've been there and this story isn't about regret. It's about recognition, about finally seeing yourself clearly in a moment that changed you forever. So, wherever you are right now, sit back. This one's personal.

Speaker 1:

The last time I saw him, I walked into his place knowing exactly why I was there. I missed him, simple as that. And for all the back and forth, I just wanted to be near him. The second I walked in, I could tell he was nervous. He wasn't saying much, he wasn't looking at me too long, but he offered me wine. He knew that's what I'd want. And while I was holding that glass he poured himself tequila straight. He didn't say it, but I could feel it. He was anxious like he didn't know how this night was gonna go. And then he put on the great gatsby. No conversation about it, just put it on. And I noticed that too, because he knew I loved that movie. He knew it meant something to me.

Speaker 1:

We sat on the couch watching it, barely speaking. The tension in the room wasn't uncomfortable, it was unspoken. We were both in our heads, both avoiding something. And then it happened. Gatsby says can't repeat the past. Why, of course you can. And right when that line dropped, he took a sip of the tequila. Slow, no eye contact, just that sip. And I froze for a second because it felt like a mirror. I was Gatsby.

Speaker 1:

I was sitting there hoping that maybe we can go back, that maybe all the confusion, all the gaps, all the inconsistencies, maybe it didn't matter. And I wanted to be simple, I wanted to believe that just being there was enough. So I didn't say anything, I didn't overthink it, I laid on him after the movie and I felt safe, and that's what made it so complicated, because my body was calm but my mind was screaming. This doesn't last. I didn't want to leave, I didn't want to break the moment. I wanted to hold on to the quiet, even if I knew deep down it wasn't going anywhere. That night I didn't walk away, I just let myself have that one last moment of softness, and I think he did too. We didn't talk about anything real, we didn't unpack the past, but we both knew. We just didn't want to say it out loud.

Speaker 1:

I want to take a second and drop in with today's astrology, because energy has been heavy lately, quiet but loud, if you know what I mean. Today we've got the moon in Scorpio, so a lot of us are feeling things deeper than we want to admit. Secrets are bubbling up, old feelings, hidden desires, and not everything we feel right now has words. This kind of moon makes you crave connection, but also makes you afraid to be seen too clearly. It's that I want to be held but don't touch me, kind of vibe. Venus is in Cancer, so love is soft, nostalgic and really emotional.

Speaker 1:

People are romanticizing things that weren't even that good because their heart wants safety more than truth. And with Mercury square, neptune, be careful what you assume. Right now People are projecting, confusing, disappearing into their own fantasies. You might be feeling lost or like you miss someone, but really you miss a version of you that felt wanted. This is the kind of energy that tests your boundaries. It makes you want to go back, just to feel something.

Speaker 1:

The Scorpio moons don't lie, they show you the real. So whatever is rising today, don't suppress it, just sit with it. Listen, your intuition is loud right now and it's probably telling you the truth, even if you're not ready to admit it yet. If you made it this far, thank you. I didn't hold anything back in this episode, and not because I had something to prove, but because sometimes telling the truth out loud is how you finally let it go. We've all had that person, the one we wanted to believe in, the one we waited for, and we've all confused safety with luck. But the version of me sitting here right now she doesn't shrink, she doesn't chase and she damn sure doesn't apologize for how deeply she feels.

Speaker 1:

I hope this story reminded you that your softness is not weakness, that silence is not the absence of power and that walking away from something that once felt good is still a victory. I'm wishing you clarity, I'm wishing you peace, I'm wishing you the strength to stop begging for energy that was never yours to carry and, above all else, I'm wishing you a soft return to yourself. You deserve that. My name is Carmen Ramos and you're listening to my Chic Intuition. I was out to get my phone. I was out to get my phone. I was out to get my phone, thank you. ¶¶. Thank you.
