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.
Every week, 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.

Episode 27 Emma's Legacy
This episode is a tribute to Nienke's grandmother, Emma Emily van Bezooijen-Spreksel, born in 1918 during WWI in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Who grew up in poverty under mental and physical abuse.
Who gave birth, just 20 years old, to a son three months before Rotterdam was bombed by the nazi-regime, starting WWII.
Emma overcame her fears and anxiety when she could care for children. She started with her baby brother, who was 17 years younger than she was. Then, my father, my brother, and I, followed by my children.
Emma died June 29th 2017, nearly 99 years old.
She created her longevity by transforming her difficult childhood into unconditional love, genuine care, and curiosity with empathy for others.

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.
