The Phoenix Frequencies
Phoenix rises: It isn't the ash that IS your life; it is the rising from the ash that makes life fertile.
In this podcast, I share how I relearned to live based on the present.
Frequently I give short episodes with food for thought.
Or I interview another phoenix who faced obstacles and moved beyond them. The real thing: because we get more from what and how we learn, than the pretended positivity.
As a HeartBraincoach and HeartAmbassador, I love to explore with curiosity the unexpected perspectives in redesigning your life as a phoenix.

Stop Fixing, Start Facilitating
Seven years ago today, Nienke had her first brain tumour surgery. The anaesthetics failed, the tumour couldn't be fully removed — and yet the disruption she'd been living with seemed to resolve anyway.
In this episode of Phoenix Frequencies, she explores why: the difference between fixing (forcing a result, chasing credit, suppressing the signal) and facilitating (partnering with discomfort so real healing can unfold on its own terms and sustain).
She takes that same lens into business. We reach for another change-management tool, another consultant, another quick fix — and the KPIs might look better on the outside, while the engine underneath stays uncured. Absenteeism, disengagement, friction: these aren't problems to fix. They're signals asking for a different relationship to create a different outcome.
Before your next intervention, ask yourself: am I trying to fix this, or trying to transform it through facilitation instead?
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.
