When we first started this podcast it was all about what we had figured out in our relationship which was that in the beginning we knew very little. We started to share some really deep conversations about what we learned over the years together. Well here we are again sharing with you our new journey as the coach (Carolyn) and the photographer (Sonia). What will we talk about as we move in a new direction... anything and everything that has to do with empowering YOU to step into your own focus as well as everything we continue to learn and share about life and relationships.
Hey 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 PODCAST in the subject line you will get 50% off the registration fee

BRIDGING 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, then have sex and ask questions later. This sounds good to me right at this moment. Again, being in action.
The point here is to understand without a doubt that each person is just as important as the other in a relationship. We are always worth everything we ask for.
Remember that asking is the action step here and that’s important. Should we expect every item on our list to be fulfilled all at once? No, but its definitely a start in the right direction.
The bottom line is that if we never ask the question then the answer will always be NO!

BRIDGING THE GAP: Listening
What 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 happens because we are not truly listening in the moment.
What happens when we feel that we are not being heard? We tend to talk louder thinking the words will sink in better. Well, we know that only leads to a shouting match and no one wins. Not that we are keeping score here.
The fix is to listen with new ears and don’t assume. Be patient and be open to the conversation. I promise, the conversation will go smoother.
Make it a point to know what type of communicator your person is; ‘A story teller’ or a ‘just the facts ma’am’ type. Make space to listen to the person you LOVE. Effective communication is important in a relationship.
Seriously, if you want to be heard then learn to be a good listener.
