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. 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.
