Welcome to The Experiential Podcast, a deep dive into the fascinating and profound journey of being human. Hosted by Nicole Lohse, whose lifelong fascination with the human experience drives this exploration, this podcast invites listeners to reconnect with their internal and collective wisdom.
In a world where we often feel disconnected, lost, and constrained by patterns and conditioning, Nicole reminds us that we are adaptable and that through tuning in, exploring our experiences, and integrating the parts of ourselves that feel stuck, we can rediscover our true essence.
With each episode, Nicole guides us through the process of recognizing and disentangling from our conditioning, listening to our instincts and intuition, and reclaiming our agency and choice. While acknowledging that the journey isn't easy and that we may still find ourselves caught in old patterns, Nicole assures us that there's nothing inherently wrong with us.
Through spaciousness, grace, and a newfound ability to pause and bring awareness to our experiences, The Experiential Podcast offers a path toward reconnecting with ourselves, each other, and the planet. Join Nicole on this transformative journey of self-discovery and collective awakening.

In this episode, I want to invite you to explore your relationship with praise and feeling proud. I share my personal experiences around this as I reflect on the testimonials and feedback I've received about my DISCOVER program. Receiving praise has always been challenging for me, but I’ve noticed how it's starting to shift, and I want to help you get curious about how you handle compliments or recognition.
I also give you a tour of my Discover program, a journey I’m incredibly proud of, as I prepare to run it again. Whether you’re navigating your own entanglements with praise, pride or simply interested in learning more about Discover, I hope you find something meaningful in this episode. Let's dive in and see what shows up for you!
Get Curious - Being An Empath - The Gifts & The Challenges | 028
Season 1 · Episode 28
Wednesday, September 25, 2024 • Duration 01:15:05
Once a month I host a "Get Curious" episode where people like you, who are interested in untangling from their patterns, join in to explore with some guidance.
In this episode, I dive deep into the experiences of being an empath, especially for those who easily pick up on the emotions and energy of others. Joined by Keisja and Stacey, we explore both the gifts and challenges of being highly sensitive. Together, we look at how our developmental experiences shape our empathy and survival patterns. This conversation isn’t just about strategies for self-protection, though we touch on those. Instead, we dig into the core of why we sense danger in certain environments and how that influences our behaviors. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by others' emotions or unsure where your feelings end and theirs begin, this episode will resonate. I invite you to reflect on your own experiences and explore how healing can shift you from merely surviving as an empath to fully embracing its gifts.

My Experiences With Staying Small | 027
Season 1 · Episode 27
Thursday, September 19, 2024 • Duration 26:35
Lately, I’ve been reflecting a lot on my relationship with self-promotion and marketing, and how I tend to "stay small" when it comes to talking about myself or what I offer. I share my own experience of hiding when I needs to promote my work, while feeling completely alive and connected when I’m actually with clients, doing the work I loves. That contrast really hits home for me—the joy and flow I feel when I’m in the middle of supporting others, versus the fear and hesitation that comes up when I have to be seen more publicly.
I am tying this pattern to deeper fears, like being ostracized or betrayed, and it makes me think about how these old wounds can quietly shape our choices today, keeping us from reaching more people or fully stepping into who we are. It’s a reminder for me of the importance of grace, awareness, and community in helping us move through these patterns. I’m also realizing how vital it is to really pause and inquire into our own needs and values—especially when we’re being marketed to or considering different programs.
I’d love to invite you to reflect on this too. How much do you trust the unfolding of your own path? What do you feel might be holding you back? I’d love to hear what you discover about yourself in this process!

Season 1 · Episode 26
Wednesday, September 11, 2024 • Duration 53:28
Have you ever felt that deep, almost sacred call to tell your story? To bring forth the narratives that lie buried within the depths of your soul?
In today's episode, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Janelle Hardy, someone who truly understands the transformative power of writing. Janelle shared such profound wisdom on how writing can be more than just a creative outlet—it can be a journey into our untold stories, a path to deeper healing, and even alchemy for the soul. We explored how myths, fairy tales, and ancient stories have this incredible ability to mirror our own lives, guiding us to connect more deeply with our experiences. Janelle also offered some beautiful prompts that help us move past resistance, inviting us to work with our bodies as vessels of expression. I found myself so inspired, ready to pick up my pen and dive into the unexplored corners of my own story.
I hope you find this episode as moving and enlightening as I did. If you're feeling called to explore your inner world through writing, this conversation is a must-listen. Let me know what you uncover within yourself—I’d love to hear about your journey.
