The Phoenix Frequencies episodes

  • Episode 18 Who is speaking?

    It's happening more and more in the keynote and TEDx speaking world: the use of AI, such as ChatGPT, to create talks and keynotes. Many people think it sounds more professional, slick, smooth or attractive.                                                                In the E.A.S.E. Method, Nienke and her team use for coaching speakers globally, the words you use create only 10% of the impact you want to gain. The rest relies on how you use your voice and your body language. 

    If you only focus on the 10% ánd give it fully in the hands of AI, you won't get where you want to be. Because: who is delivering the 'perfect AI-generated' words? YOU! Not ChatGPT. If you combine your IA support with your heart's intelligence, it will be YOU who is speaking. And that's the real impact.

    How this works, Nienke shared some years ago  in her TEDxTalk How to walk your talk.

    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 17 The Power of Post Traumatic Growth

    If trauma is the result of your capacity to handle life events, we can all see traumatic scars within ourselves. The triggers, the behaviours to feel and stay safe. Working hard to cover up the painful results. That's not wrong, that's trying to handle storms, big ánd small, in our lives. Trauma can be piled up and stored in a box in the fridge (or even deep freezer) until we are ready to be with it'... 
    But our bodies respond. It can lead to dis-ease, illnesses, and mental and emotional disruption with long-lasting impact. 
    We can get trapped within ourselves. The stuckness often hurts and frustrates, often, the most.  A Post Traumatic Dis-order.
    How about Post-traumatic Growth, PTG?  The possibilities to apply the tools that come from within, not from outer circumstances. How would your life look? 
    With today's global violence, destruction and creation of fear, there can be an option that unlocks the strain of trauma and creates a future of growth. 
    What if you can open the box of self-absorption that trauma creates, and you can use the tools that shift you: From the repeating trauma story to a radio station that plays what supports your growth? What would you choose to listen to? 

    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.

  • Episode 16 Part 2 How would communicate without technology?

    In this episode, Nienke shares part two of her interview with Guru Lama, who has possessed an extraordinary ability to heal and uplift those around him since childhood. It took nearly a decade for him to find his right teacher, or guru.  Not all are a right fit, many people see themselves as a guru, but from a high spiritual ego. Guru Lama also shares how to prepare ourselves to be without the internet. To trust, we can communicate with our ancient proven style: our inner Bluetooth, or antennas. How would you live without the internet? Do you still have a profession?  Do you know how to use your capacities to communicate over longer distances than the physical ear can reach? 

    How would your life look like? Do you even dare to imagine being cut off from modern technology? You'd better prepare, that day or time might be sooner than we think. Are you ready for the fitting frequencies? 

    Guru Lama teaches and trains people at the Shambhala Temple and leads retreats at sacred places with Shambhala Inner Peace Tours.

  • Episode 15 From Ghosting to hosting

    From Ghosting to Hosting, a powerful conversation is just a change of one letter. 

    Ghosting is used as a skill to control a situation through social (non)interaction, aiming to dominate or overpower it. However, people who think they need ghosting as a solution simply haven't yet discovered the social and emotional intelligence toolbox. 

    Ghosting is in the same field as naming, framing, blaming or shaming: creating social pain to feel like a winner. 

    What do you do when the heat is on in a business relationship or even a friendship? Ghosting or hosting a conversation that doesn't leave scars afterwards. Instead, hosting a closing conversation that leaves both sides valued, seen and heard without hurting on purpose.

  • Episode 14 Part 1 When East meets West from the Heart

    Nienke and Guru Lama met each other through the TEDx Fiesole event and instantly noticed that they both serve through frequencies. From that moment, they stayed in touch. Nienke and the Monk had a long conversation that Nienke made into several episodes op the Phoenix Frequencies Podcasts. Guru Lama often gets the question 'What religion are you from? He answers with a smile: Our religion is compassion.
    He followed his soul's mission, his Karma, as he left his successful professional life to embark on a path of healing and spirituality. Since childhood, he possessed an extraordinary ability to heal and uplift those around him. His presence radiates peace, and his wisdom has transformed countless lives. As a Guru Lama, he teaches and trains people at the Shambhala Temple and leads retreats at sacred places with Shambhala Inner Peace Tours.
    Recently, they created a survey as a soul journal to help heal the wounds of what seems to be the new epidemic: loneliness. Globally, the Shambhala monks are available for free to support those who need connection and healing.

  • Episode 13 People pleasing as Self-protection

    What if we can see people pleasing as a smart protection mechanism rather than a weak character? With the sugarcoated behaviour, it's a way to feel and stay emotionally safe. Often learned by painful life experiences. It looks good, it feels better than reality. Like a painkiller. But what are you suppressing and at what cost? Health, relationships and feeling drained......
    Nienke grew up in a people-pleasing environment and found her way out: cold turkey. She found out that what she wanted and searched for wasn't what she needed. People pleasing isn't an identity; it's a survival mode you can change. 
    Like changing your diet and setting yourself free.

  • Episode 12 Hi, here is a message from pain.

    Experiencing pain is always a message. Often, we don't like the way pain communicates. We are conditioned to get 'rid ' of pain, soothe pain, or kill pain with painkillers. 
    Or we over-identify with pain, like with tiredness or diseases. 
    I am tired, I am ill. No, you're not. You feel tired, you feel dis-eased.  
    What if pain is not an enemy but an ally? 
    In this podcast, Nienke shares the different options for trying. 
    To be at ease with dis-ease. To be partnering up with pain to get free from the fighting mode. 
    That isn't for everyone, but you can practice and see what fits you. Just as another option to explore.

  • Episode 11 Are you connecting the dots?

    Over the last few months, Nienke has worked with 20 people to prepare for their TEDx Talk. To be Heard to be Heart at the same time. BE ready. 
    Staying with your true message and true to your authentic self wasn't easy for all. 
    Going into their topic, their story as a deep dive was an unexpected gift for many of the speakers to rise above the past. 
    But life had a personal gift for Nienke as well, she shares in this podcast.

  • Episode 10 When losing a friend becomes an asset

    This week, Nienke tunes into the sudden death of her energy work role model and old friend. At first, there was a massive magnitude of shock, grief and pain.
    Why her, not me? That question isn't to be answered nor relevant. It just is. Grief.
    Soon, that shifted: D showed she wasn't 'gone', and the connection didn't change. The overwhelm shited into gratitude. Grief and gratitude are on the same page; they are bridged by Love only.  Unconditionally.
    Sometimes, the loss of a friend, while still alive, can be more painful because that's a deliberate choice. Damaging the friendship by choice because unconditional is too difficult. When the heat gets on, the truth comes out.
    We all have the choice of how to BE with that rather than react to it. Then, grief and gratitude can be on the same page, while alive.
    This podcast is a tribute to Daphne Prieckaerts.

  • Episode 9 Getting your real voice out into the world

    Today, exactly five years ago, in the first week of the total COVID Lockdown, Nienke started her 25 sessions of radiation therapy—a team collaboration to freeze the brain tumour growth. Everything has changed since. But this year, a friend reminded her of this five-year win. This year, it wasn't part of her life anymore, and thát was worth an even bigger celebration.
    Nienke imprinted herself for years, TEDx coaching wasn't her strength anymore, despite the hundreds she supported to the red dot.
    But when she was asked to support a large TEDx event in Italy in May, she overcame herself and said yes. Inspired by the event's theme: Renew, recharge, sustain: renewed humanism.
    She shares in this episode of Phoenix Frequencies podcast why that's a fit with Nienke now. She walks her talk!
