166: What's Your Relationship With Your UnLived Life

Say The Things ·

2025/03/06

Today we’re diving into something deeply personal—our unlived life. It’s not just about the big dreams we’ve abandoned; it’s the potential we’ve yet to step into, the hobbies we never explored, the desires we’ve been told were impractical. I’ve been there—living small, holding back, and thinking I needed absolute clarity before taking action. But what if action itself brings clarity? What if simply writing down a dream makes it 40% more likely to happen, and telling someone makes it 80% more likely

165: What's Your Relationship With Boundaries

Say The Things ·

2025/02/27

Boundaries are essential for a healthy life, yet they can be challenging to set and enforce. In this episode, I share a personal story about navigating boundaries with my teenage son and the emotional weight of following through on consequences. We also explore how boundaries go beyond just saying no—they protect our time, energy, and well-being. If even Wonder Woman had limits, why do we expect ourselves to do it all? Let’s rethink boundaries, not as walls, but as bridges to a healthier, more

Say The Things ·

2025/02/20

Are you wearing metaphorical “big red shoes,” pushing yourself into roles and routines that don’t actually serve you? In this episode of Say the Things, we explore our relationship with energy—how we use it, how we waste it, and how we can align with our natural rhythms instead of forcing ourselves into schedules that don’t fit. From mental and emotional energy to physical stamina, I challenge you to become a curious observer of when you feel your best and when you’re just pushing through. Maybe the

In this special bonus episode, I sit down with my husband, Andy, for our first-ever podcast interview together—wine in my closet and all! We dive into the world of Valentine's Day social media posts and the authenticity (or lack thereof) behind them. Andy shares his honest take on the curated perfection we often see online, and we reflect on how our past relationships shaped the way we communicate now. From attachment styles to unspoken truths about marriage, this conversation is candid, funny, and

2025/02/13

Love and social media—what’s really going on behind those carefully curated posts? In this episode of Say the Things, I dive into the history of public love declarations (turns out, we’ve been doing this for thousands of years) and what research tells us about why we post about our relationships. Are we sharing or performing? Seeking validation or celebrating real connection? Our attachment styles even play a role in how we show up online. Let’s get honest about our digital love letters and ask

162: Your Relationship With Change

Say The Things ·

2025/02/06

I love comfort - there, I said it. But as we move past "Quitters Day" and into the heart of 2025, I'm getting curious about what we actually care enough about to get uncomfortable for. Join me in exploring the difference between the changes we choose and the ones that choose us, and why sometimes the most important question isn't about change at all - it's about what matters enough to make us willing to be uncomfortable. https://www.instagram.com/nicole_bachle/ https://www.instagram.com/msmoem/

161: Your Relationship With Satisfaction

Say The Things ·

2025/01/30

Satisfaction, my husband asked me 'what makes me feel satisfied' while in a flurry of frustration, I moved on. But that question got me thinking about our complicated relationship with joy and why we often find it easier to share our pain than our pleasure. Let's talk about what happens when we dare to believe we're worthy of joy and what it means to choose heaven here and now. https://www.instagram.com/nicole_bachle/ peom by https://www.instagram.com/madisonmorrigan/

160: Your Relationship With Your Inner Voice

Say The Things ·

2025/01/23

For years, I thought my inner critic was just echoes of my dad's voice, but the journey took me deeper into understanding the impact of emotional abuse and how it clutters our inner dialogue. I'm sharing my experience and learning to recognize when those "never" and "always" statements are red flags. Come explore how we can choose which inner voice to feed and why self-compassion, not self-criticism, might be our best path forward. Nicole Bachle Instagram poem by Dana Wetherell

Say The Things ·

2025/01/16

I've been getting quiet lately, really quiet. Setting aside my phone, choosing peace, and even embracing boredom has me thinking deeply about our relationship with time. Join me as I explore how we view time - through seasons, through social constructs, through expectations - and what happens when we dare to see time not as something to maximize, but as a precious gem meant for healing. https://www.instagram.com/nicole_bachle/ poem by https://www.instagram.com/alexandravasiliupoetry/

2024/12/12

In this final episode of 2024, I explore the fascinating roles we unconsciously play in our relationships and interactions. Drawing from my personal experience as a "truth teller" on a nonprofit board, I dive into how different roles like the peacemaker, caregiver, rebel, and connector shape our connections and dynamics. I examine the potential tensions and benefits of these roles, especially during the holiday season, and encourage listeners to reflect on their own patterns. The episode is a

Say The Things ·

2024/11/21

This week, I’m diving into a topic that hits close to home: how cancel culture and politics are impacting our friendships. From ghosting to passive-aggressive unfriending, it seems like disagreements are dissolving even the deepest connections. But is it really about politics—or something deeper? Join me as I explore the messy reality of friendship, the importance of hard conversations, and how we can prioritize connection over division. https://www.instagram.com/nicole_bachle/

Say The Things ·

2024/11/14

In this vulnerable episode, I dive deep into how a simple conversation about coping mechanisms versus authentic personality led to some major personal revelations - especially about my role as a parent. Through conversations with my husband and a serendipitous book finding, I discovered that what I thought was "just who I am" might actually be ways I've learned to cope with life. I invite you to join me in examining where you might be living in "coping mode" instead of authentic expression, as we

In this episode, I'm making a significant shift in how I show up on this podcast - no more hiding behind research or filtering myself through fear. After recognizing how my divorce led me to develop protective coping mechanisms, I'm ready to get real, raw, and occasionally curse-word-filled as we explore everything from relationships and parenting to dealing with high-conflict personalities.

152: Is It Manipulation?

Say The Things ·

2024/10/31

Today, I explored how a simple comment about manipulation during my walk led me to deeply examine what it looks like in our closest relationships. I realized that manipulation often goes unnoticed because we become desensitized to it, especially with people we care about. If you feel like you're walking on eggshells with someone or they use your vulnerabilities against you, it might be time to recognize these patterns and set boundaries for healthier relationships.

I share personal stories about my own triggers, from aggressive honking on the road to my defensive reactions with my son and colleagues, to illustrate how we often respond not just to present situations but to accumulated past hurts.
