    Episode 32 The last one, to exchange gifts

    In this last podcast, Nienke invites you to reflect.  What gifts did you get from this year, physically, mentally, emotionally spirtually/in behaviours? In an honest share, she lists her gifts for 2025 across all areas.  Gifts can occur as setbacks; we can take them as invitations to enjoy? Shift your perspectives?   She ends with an inquiry as a gift to you. If you want, you can get it. Not only during this holiday and gift season, but whenever you want.  It's an exchange of gifts for those who like to rise. We are all responsible for how we show up in the world, to others, ánd to ourselves. With Phoenix Frequencies, Nienke van Bezooijen shines her light on what we can do to be the best versions of ourselves based on how we show up and what we are willing to learn. It isn't about showing the way with pretended positivity, it is the heart-based vulnerability-sharing options. It takes courage to rise. See what is for you. Or share with others. Perfect doesn't exist; curiosity can be the stepping stone to broaden your perspectives. Courage to move on from the past, Trust to be with the present, Rise to create a new future.

    Episode 31 Existential crisis to existential growth

    An existential crisis is a period of deep questioning about life's meaning, purpose, and values, often triggered by significant life events or a sense of meaninglessness, which can lead to feelings of anxiety and distress. Existential growth is the positive transformation that can occur when a person navigates this crisis by reevaluating their life, gaining deeper self-awareness, and aligning their actions with their actual values, leading to increased resilience and authenticity. The crisis is the challenging process of questioning, while growth is the outcome of successfully moving through it.  This week, Nienke looks at how a dear friend shifted from existential crisis to existential growth. Also, she faced a life event that created awareness: from 'Impossible' to 'I am possible'. Talent doesn't get affected by physical disease.  There is always space for existential growth, no matter what.  We are all responsible for how we show up in the world, to others, ánd to ourselves.

    Episode 30 The Labrador Syndrome

    Do you know these individuals who are incredibly loyal and work hard for everyone who asks? Those who become very upset by facing resistance tend to take critique extremely personally. But also comfort themselves with compensation food after serving half the world? Like Labradors. Friendly and social – Intelligent and eager to learn – Loyal and devoted – Gentle and patient –Playful and enthusiastic – Adaptable  But also: A Labrador needs plenty of exercise and stimulation –Food-driven – Attention-seeking – (Can suffer from separation anxiety if left alone too long)– Boisterous or clumsy – Their enthusiasm can sometimes be overwhelming. Easily bored (if they have to entertain themselves without stimulation). The human Labrador has difficulties with setting and enforcing boundaries; they often love to make others happy, but only until others set a boundary for them. They are so happy to make others happy, it's affecting their self-esteem if ít doesn't work as they envisioned. Then they become disappointed, trying to work even harder to please you by nature until they feel you don't deserve their trust. They try to solve the situations by dominating their desired pleasing outcomes. Being happy feels safe..... There's nothing wrong with the Labrador syndrome as long as there is exchange based on mutual self-worth. If the human Labrador can't find their true inner drive, don't collaborate based on their conditions: don't blame the Labrador, love them with clarity and empowering boundaries. How Loyal are you to controlling the outcome?  We are all responsible for how we show up in the world, to others, ánd to ourselves. With Phoenix Frequencies, Nienke van Bezooijen shines her light on what we can do to be the best versions of ourselves based on how we show up and what we are willing to learn. It isn't about showing the way with pretended positivity, it is the heart-based vulnerability-sharing options. It takes courage to rise. See what is for you. Or share with others.

    Episode 29 Acceptance isn't giving up

    Acceptance is not about giving up; it is about releasing resistance to what you cannot change, so you can move forward with clarity and purpose. While giving up is a cessation of effort, acceptance is a proactive choice to acknowledge reality as it is, which creates a foundation for progress and allows you to respond to challenges with strength and grace.  Reinhold Niebuhr's Serenity prayer says it beautifully. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. The perception of duality between acceptance and giving up is what we tell ourselves when we are blinded by the 'shouldy, wouldy, couldy' in our desired outcomes.  What if the real power lies in embracing a perspective that aligns with who we are today? What if you start collaborating with the creator in you?  Not from what your mind told you by experience in the past, but by creating your future from the now, so you can rise. We are all responsible for how we show up in the world, to others, ánd to ourselves. With Phoenix Frequencies, Nienke van Bezooijen shines her light on what we can do to be the best versions of ourselves based on how we show up and what we are willing to learn. It isn't about showing the way with pretended positivity, it is the heart-based vulnerability-sharing options. It takes courage to rise. See what is for you. Or share with others.

    Episode 28 Adding a T to the simulation

    We can prepare and train ourselves by using virtual reality, a simulator of reality. Like pilots learn to act in all kinds of situations.  We all use our human simulator as a re-living play. We act in real time based on what we have learned in the past. Or we pretend that how we show up for others is real. How many VR filters do you put on, an Instagrammable life?  We can also use our human simulator in another way. Just add a T to it: a tool, training. In this podcast, Nienke shares how we can stay out of overwhelm and unfiltered stress responses in our bodies. Like many Olympic Athletes do. Get real, from simulation to stimulation.  Keep your inner world as fit as you train your outer muscles. That's not ever now and then. It's like brushing your teeth: daily practice, an action to keep the results up to date. Strengthen and stimulate your emotional and mental resilience, physical immune system, and wellbeing consistently — by choice.   We are all responsible for how we show up in the world, to others, ánd to ourselves.

  6. Episode 27 For those who stand the hea(r)t of Phoenixing

    OCT 12

    Episode 27 For those who stand the hea(r)t of Phoenixing

    This is the 80th episode of the Phoenix Frequencies podcasts, exactly on my fourth anniversary of my re-birthday. It has been an intense ride and inquiry to learn who can stand ánd stay with me. Who can resonate sincerely or pretend by pleasing? Who can hear what I see, even without fully understanding the impact? And the people who can't or couldn't, I can be grateful for the mirror they gave me. I can feel remorseful for the times my view was blurred and I acted as if I was, not what I am, and hurt others by doing so.  80 Episodes..... It's time to move on........ Continue to pioneer: acknowledge the ashes, not by re-living them. Thank you for keeping your faith in me, for not giving up when I wavered. For hearing me in my rising, for choosing openness over judgment. For staying in touch without being asked. For staying close when distanced, silence was easier. Thank you for your heart that chose to stay with me— from my impossible to my I’m possible. #anniversary #podcast #phoenix #rebirth We are all responsible for how we show up in the world, to others, ánd to ourselves.

  7. Episode 26 The Elements of Peace

    Episode 26 The Elements of Peace

    On International Peace Day, Nienke recorded a special podcast on peace again this season. The elements of peace encompass both internal, personal qualities, such as patience, compassion, and inner tranquillity, and external, societal conditions, including justice, freedom, equity, and well-functioning institutions. Achieving "positive peace" requires a commitment to these factors, rather than just the absence of war, "negative peace". Tuning into the internal elements, she took the angle of elements of Dr Randolph Stone, the founder of Polarity Therapy. Earth, water, fire, air and ether. How do they relate to peace? Nienke brings them to the surface so you can decide for yourself which element(s) you bring together to create Peace. Not only on International Peace Day, but every day.  We are all responsible for how we show up in the world, to others, ánd to ourselves.

  8. Episode 25 Diagnosis and Prognosis

    SEP 12

    Episode 25 Diagnosis and Prognosis

    In our drive to feel secure, if we know 'for sure' what is going on in all kinds of areas in life, we like to analyse and have a diagnosis from that. Then we want to ensure that we foresee what happens next: A prognosis.      A prognosis is a healthcare term that refers to the likely outcome or course of a disease or injury based on a patient's medical condition, available treatments, and other factors. It is a prediction of what might happen, such as the chance of recovery, recurrence, or the expected quality and length of life. In the past, I got a prognosis that could come to the surface again. A biopsy this week can give an indication, not a certainty to live from.                                                          Because a prognosis is based on general measurements of óther people in the past within the Western healthcare system.  I AM not my diagnosis, nor do I live my prognosis. I am in charge, choose not to be a REACTOR to my prognosis, flip the letters of that word, and BE the CREATOR of my life.  Worrying is like a rocking chair, it keeps you movin', gets you nowhere.                  How do you respond to insecurities?  We are all responsible for how we show up in the world, to others, ánd to ourselves. With Phoenix Frequencies, Nienke van Bezooijen shines her light on what we can do to be the best versions of ourselves based on how we show up and what we are willing to learn. It isn't about showing the way with pretended positivity, it is the heart-based vulnerability-sharing options. It takes courage to rise. See what is for you. Or share with others. Perfect doesn't exist; curiosity can be the stepping stone to broaden your perspectives. Courage to move on from the past, Trust to be with the present, Rise to create a new future.
