Sonia & CarolynTaking ActionHey everyone! Welcome back to the Sonia and Carolyn Podcast. Today we're gonna talk about taking action. How can we actually bridge the gap in our relationships? We take action by speaking up, by being honest and asking for what we need. Let's get closer with each other and make this happen! We are so excited to launch Bridging The Gap which will begin on July 19. We will meet every Tuesday for 4 week, so if you and your person are ready to take action and bridge your gap e-mail us! Oh and if you put POD...2022-06-2900 min

Sonia & CarolynBRIDGING THE GAP: What do you both need right now? WHAT DO YOU BOTH NEED RIGHT NOW? When we ask for what we need its important to recognize the place you’re in right at that moment. The pressing need will allow a pathway for other needs to be discussed at a latter time. Meaning, if intimacy is the most pressing need then the conversation can start out with the level of commitment and accountability needed from both parties for that connection. Maybe, the answer is be intentional and to not over think having sex. If we have to start some where, th...2022-05-2734 min

Sonia & CarolynBRIDGING THE GAP: ListeningWhat does it take to get your person to listen to you? For Sonia, making eye contact is a way that let’s her know she is being heard. For others, it may be repeating back what is being said and so on. The question is what are you use to hearing versus what are you currently hearing in that moment. Ask yourself; ‘am I being present, am I listening?’ Often, we hear what sounds familiar and assume what the other person is going to say. But, how many times did you assume wrong? It happen...2022-05-2540 min

Sonia & CarolynBridging The Gap: Share FearsShare Fears? Be vulnerable? Yes, yes, and yes. We all have a level of fear because we are humans and we can't change that no matter how hard we try to pretend. The fact of the matter is that it's okay to be fearful because there are things to be fearful for. Specifically in a realationship we fear how the other person is going to receive, react or run when we share our fears with them. Just remember they are intitled to their feelings, thoughts and actions. Its what you decide to do together that matters once...2022-05-2049 min

Sonia & CarolynBridge The Gap: Being HonestBE HONEST Meaning that being honest starts with self. The reasoning is that if we believe ourselves to be honest then others will too. Being honest about who you are and what you need in a relationship is crucial. We also have to remember that our words need to match our actions. With that being said, if you honestly want certain things to change in your relationship then mirror those wants with actions to reach that change. Make them attainable as so to not set yourself or your partner up for failure. Keep your promises...2022-05-1853 min

Sonia & CarolynCelebrateSonia and I want to wish all the mom's a Happy Mother's Day so in this episode we talk about Mom's. All kinds of mom's from birth mom's, to bonus mom's and mom's of choice. Each mom brings something special to the lives of those she touches. However we want to recognize that being a mom is not the only roll that women play. In our relationship we have learned to celebrate each other for all that we bring into our relationship, family, and all that we do outside of the home as students, friends, employee's, business owne...2022-05-1237 min

Sonia & CarolynEP 9 INFINITE CONVERSATIONS: Confidence Is Knowing What Is TrueHere's a great definition for being confident that we found in a google search. I really like this. Confidence means: feeling sure of yourself and your abilities — not in an arrogant way, but in a realistic, secure way. Confidence isn't about feeling superior to others. It's a quiet inner knowledge that you're capable. We are so capable of doing everything anything we desire. With that being said, we're confident already. Meaning, learning and knowing a skill set builds our confidence level. Knowing self, improving our weaknesses and capitalize on our strengths. As children, we...2022-05-061h 11

Sonia & CarolynEP 8 INFINITE CONVERSATIONS: Life Is Shaped From The Inside OutLife is shaped from the inside out. Meaning, we spend our lives being influenced by first our parents, siblings, school mates, friends and hero's. Eventually, we develop our individual identity, well most of us do. Carolyn and I grew up in the 70's/80's and so our influences came to us via school yard, television, and people we met face to face. We didn't have the social media connection that is available today. How does social media affect how we shape our life today? Its instant! Today we have Instagram, Tic-Tok, Youtube, FB, twitter, and a...2022-05-041h 01

Sonia & CarolynEp 7 Infinite Conversations- Contemplation or Lack of Motivation?Contemplation or Lack of Motivation, Which is it? The answer will come once you take the time to differentiate between the both. For me, I was feeling unmotivated for the past few weeks but now that I think about it, it was more of deep contemplation for a re-direct for our business and more specifically my photography strategy. Honestly, I was feeling unmotivated but digging deeper is was due to not knowing where to start up again now that we are taking a new approach with our business. The thing is, we take a deep breath and...2022-04-2941 min

Sonia & CarolynEP 6: Infinite Conversations - What to do when we lose our 'Motivation'When we lose our motivation it takes a minute or two to get back in the game. It's especially important to get back in the game when others are dependent on you. However, what we discovered in this episode are steps to get motivated and the right words to encourage each other. It's good to take a break to evaluate, reflect and prioritize as necessary from time to time. Whether the cause is from a lack of motivation or a need to redirect. The point is to find your motivation and get back in the game. ...2022-04-2749 min

Sonia & CarolynEP 5: Infinite Conversations-Choose You In All Of Your RelationshipsI choose me first, even when you disagree. This is so true and it works! We have come a long way baby! In many of our conversations I'm first to say, Me First and not feel guilty in any way. Its self love and not selfish. Have you heard of this? Now is the time to really think about it. When we take care of ourselves everything and everyone will fall right in place. A good example of this is when we are about to take flight and the flight attendant says to the adults to...2022-04-2051 min

Sonia & CarolynEP 4: Infinite Conversations-Misery doesn't need companyHave you ever had a bad day? Of course you have, we've all had a bad day. It would be like asking if you breath. The point being here is that we do have bad days, and we lash out to the people closes to us. Why is that? For me Sonia, Carolyn is the one person I spend almost 100% with so its inventible that she would be there to witness to my bad day. It's not personal and this is a point I Sonia would like to drive home in this episode. The other point is t...2022-04-2052 min

Sonia & CarolynEp 3: INFINITE CONVERSATIONS-Something NewWhen was the last time you did something new or learned something new? Its a proven fact that when we learn new things our brain stays active, sharp and engaged. When we stop learning we are literally telling our brain that we don’t need it any longer. Can you imagine being told that you are not longer needed? I would be totally hurt and upset. So, don’t do that! Think about it, our brain is the most complex part of our body and it starves for something new everyday. 2022-04-151h 05

Sonia & CarolynEp 2: INFINITE CONVERSATIONS-Emotions can be up and downIs it possible to stay in a ‘high vibe’ all the time? In Sonia’s opinion, the answer is NO. However, it is helpful to surround yourself in a positive environment as much as possible to stay in a ‘high vibe’ How do we do this? Good question. In this episode we explore why Sonia has been in a ‘Funk’ for the past week and what steps are needed to get her vibe back up. Usually, it takes figuring out why we are feeling all these emotions before we can address th...2022-04-131h 01

Sonia & CarolynEP 1 INFINITE CONVERSATIONS: REALIZATIONS ON OUR INTIMACY & MORE...EP 1: INFINITE CONVERSATIONS In this episode Carolyn and I talk about how we have changed since we started Podcasting in November 2021.

Sonia & CarolynS4 Ep16: Summary on Body ImageBody Image is an ongoing concern for many of us. However, if we continue to talk about it, stay aware of it and deal with it face on, the less we tip-toe around the issue. In summary, its been our experience to focus on self and to really tune out other people’s negative opinions. As you develop this skill you will notice that you will spend less energy trying to conform. Start using this energy on you. It’s tiring to keep up with society, the media’s spin on what we should look or act...2022-04-0654 min

Sonia & CarolynS4 Ep15: HONOR YOU“It takes being more mindful to make a choice to be kinder to yourself.” If you think about, whatever we tell our brain to do, it will do it. Example: I like the color green. So, with that being said my brain will start looking for the color green and…it now likes green. Now, let’s use this in a positive way. Tell your brain everything that you are, like and want to experience. Example: I’m powerful, I like photograghy, and I will travel the world! Your brain will start being powerful, buy a new came...2022-04-011h 10

Sonia & CarolynS4 Ep 13: The Ripple Effects Beyond Negative Body Image Carolyn gets to ask Sonia how is she being impacted by her ripple effect. Carolyn: “Do you miss anything about me now that you don’t have to ‘worry’ about me?” Example being, when I had to constantly justify or feel that I had to earn my existence in our relationship. Sonia: No. I love my new found freedom to explore ME now. I love that you have taken lead in your own life just by putting yourself first! Thank you. So much freedom and peace in our relationship now that we ha...2022-03-2550 min

Sonia & CarolynS4 Ep12: Woman In The Mirror ’Woman In The Mirror’ What was Carolyn’s answer when I asked her: What’s to be expected now that you have accepted yourself for who you are right now in this moment? What have you noticed? Here’s a snippet of some of her answers: - I started to slowly accept more and more of myself -I’m dressing for ‘ME’ -I started accepting unexpectedly…… “Seeing myself in the mirror for the first time without judgements and it was quiet.” This is a POWERFUL stat...2022-03-2356 min

Sonia & CarolynS4 Ep11: Body Image-AlignmentWhen things align be prepared to be in action. Can we just share what that means to us? For years Carolyn and I have felt stuck in our pre-arranged life and now we make our own arrangements. Meaning, we decided to follow our own dreams and desires and not those of others. We understand as parents that we want our kids to have what we never had in our own lives. But do we really want to impose our dreams onto our kids? No, they have dreams of their own and our job is hold that space for them. 2022-03-1845 min

Sonia & CarolynS4 Ep10: Body Image-Staying PresentWow! So much is available when we are present. How so? For one, when we're present we get to do more. Meaning, we are aware of opportunities and we seize it. Being present with self is where it starts. What do you desire presently? What type of relationship do you want today? What can you do today to change the course and get to where you want to be? Carolyn and I have conversations daily, most of which we record for this podcast. However, these conversations aren't just for you; the listener its also for us...2022-03-161h 10

Sonia & CarolynS4 Ep9: Self AwarenessWhen we let go of baggage that doesn't belong to us we become aware of ourselves. There is so much freedom in releasing what doesn't belong to us. We carry so much around for so long that we forget why we allow ourselves to be weighted down. We believe that we are all in a position to receive anything in life. But the key is to have the space to receive it. Imagine that your hands are always full carrying things that belong to other people. This leaves you unable to hold things...2022-03-1156 min

Sonia & CarolynS4 Ep8: Love Safety and BelongingWhat happens in a relationship when Love Safety and Belonging are present? According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, there's are certain things we need in our lives in order to become the most that one can be. Whatever that looks like for you. We start with: Physiological needs Safety needs Love and belonging Esteem What if all one needs is Love, Safety and Belonging and the rest is residual; it will come automatically.

Its starts with YOU. I say this with such confidence because Carolyn and I are living this life together. Believe me when I say it takes honest work and the willingness to go after what you want in life.

Sonia & CarolynS 4 Ep 5: BODY IMAGE Self Love = FreedomWhat parts of YOU are loved and what parts of YOU are not? Yes, its real when we say; "I love this about me but not that so much." Here's the thing. We are a Whole Package and every part of us deserves to be loved and taken care of period. And, our spouse (Sonia) deserves to know and love every part of us as well.

Sonia & CarolynS 4 Ep 4: BODY IMAGE - Why I got so frustratedLet me explain why I use to get so frustrated when Carolyn wouldn't receive my compliments seriously. I would say to her, "You're beautiful." Instead of saying, Thank You Sonia, I would find myself constantly saying, "You better get believer fixed" because she didn't believe me. I never knew exactly why until a few months ago. What changed? A couple of things changed actually. First of all, Carolyn decided to change her mindset about body image. As a result of that EVERYTHING changed. Things changed for both of us. I hadn't realized how frustrating I was...2022-02-231h 01

Sonia & CarolynS 4 Ep 3: BODY IMAGE- Accepting ComplimentsWhy is it difficult to accept compliments, especially when the compliment are coming from the one's closes to you? In this episode we discovered how triggering pushes us to visit deep seeded reasons that keep us running for ourselves and how to approach with sensitivity. On the flip side, when your spouse refuses to accept your compliments it becomes frustrating to the point of not wanting to give compliments because of the push back of not believing what is being said. What we know now looking back is to never give up, trust that support is...2022-02-181h 10

What? Did you catch how body image is impressed upon us by others? When did we stop owning our perspective for what our body image should look like?

Also, it has been our experience that just sharing our dreams...2022-02-091h 01

Sonia & CarolynS 3 Ep 10: We Are Always Worthy to Love and to Receive LoveWho determines our worth? You determine your worth and believe that you were born worthy of every desire life has to offer; especially to be loved and to love. In this episode Carolyn asked me a question: "When did you know you were worthy to be loved, deeply, truely, and honesty? And to be worthy of receiving the love you wanted and desired? Whew! That's a loaded question. But the answer is quit easy here. I know what I have to offer and I love myself enough to not settle for anything less than what...2022-02-0456 min

Abraham Maslow was right: Three very basic needs that humans crave: Love, Safety and Belonging. Generally speaking, we have all experieced some sort of trauma in our lives and learning to release it and to repurpose it will change your life.

Sonia & CarolynS 3 Ep 7: Sharing Your Dreams Leads To Deeper ConversationsHow much more intense would conversations be in a non-judgement environment? Would you share your deepest desires and talk more freely about your dreams; describe how you want your life to be. There is a difference between quality conversations and conversations. Which are you currently having with your person or persons? Conversations change life's. We often have intense conversations surrounding relationships, goals, desires, dreams and ways to impact the world. We had one last night and that conversation was sparked by me saying, "Can you imagine being immortal and having limitless resources?" Carolyn's reply was: "How many...2022-01-2655 min

Sonia & CarolynS 3 Ep 5: Communication through physical touchStarting at infancy, we assumed that our parents provide us with enough physical touch for our emotional development and ultimately to live a healthy emotional life going forward. Sounds good right? However, this isn't the case for many. The good news is that it's not too late to have a healthy emotional life. All things are possible for the willing!

Sonia & CarolynS 3 Ep 3: Where Is Your Love GaugeLove...such a small word that is filled with so much. We come into this world seeking to be loved, we date other humans searching for it, and we desire to find it, share it, and live happily ever after. In this episode of Hey, Sonia and Carolyn we talk about checking your gauge to see where it sits. One book that Sonia and I have found very beneficial to understanding how we communicate is Gary Chapman's 5 Languages Of Love.

Carolyn and I see things differently, however we usually have the same end goal in mind. So how do we both arrive there together without having a huge blowout? We still have moments (like just the other day) where we simply have to walk away to gather our thoughts or feelings and come back into the conversation fresh. Has this happened to you? How do you handle it? Join us as we share our hot conversations and how we de-escalate situations...2022-01-071h 40

Sonia & CarolynS 3 Ep 1: How Do You Communicate With Your Partner/SpouseCommunication in our relationship is one of the most foundational aspects we share. Some times our communication is nagging, directing or just talking at the person we share life with. Other times we think we already know what the other person is going to say so we might make assumptions, not listen, or become resistant. Sonia and I are choosing to revisit communication because we started to notice that as we both are growing our communication was running into issues. Our invitation this season is to step into communication from your langue of love. As always we are s...2022-01-051h 33

For example: Is it through smelling, tasting, seeing, hearing, touching, or feeling? Is it all the above? And do you share this information with your partner? And vice-versa. Being intimate and staying connected in your relationship hinges on having an openness to self and your partner. Asking for what you want without shame or guilt is the ultimate goal in a relationship. This has been our personal experience.

Sometimes we think that asking for what we want puts too much demand on others. Or is it really that we don't believe we are worthy? The truth is that we all deserve whatever it is we want?

Besides all that, we often judge ourselves most harshly than others judge us. Why is that? And why do we accept self judgment over other people's judgment of us?

What we’ve learned is that the more we speak up for what we want and don’t want has improved our sexual experiences. We meet each other right where we are and connect in the now. There’s no more wondering about if we are doing exactly what the other wants right at that moment.
