More about The Phoenix Experience:
Our lives are extremely busy. Constant pressure at work, family and social commitments, the relentless ding of emails and phone calls; we rarely get time for ourselves. Unsure what we would do if we did have time. We can easily forget what’s important to us. Our relationships can fade, our health can suffer and our desire to perform at work can dwindle. When we are with those we care about we are at times not truly present or “in the moment.”
The Phoenix Experience helps create awareness, focus and brings balance into each area of our lives.
Over 60 minutes be inspired to get more out of life, press pause on your everyday routine and take the time to think about what is important to you.
Learn why most people wait for a significant event in their life to change. Instead bring awareness to start to look at different areas of your life that need attention.

55m · PublishedKelly - Living Life on My Terms

Her world was completely rocked when something that seemed like a gift of life, actually turned out to be quite the opposite. In our conversation today, Kelly shares how her difficult life journey and experiences have taught her to focus on living life on her own terms, allowing herself to enjoy the present moment, and to continually gauge whether she is truly happy. There's no sugar coating her words, and the beauty of her honesty offers a huge amount of value.
Some key quotes from our conversation include:
- We've got to be the rock, not the ocean
- I was so determined to not let it have long term damage on me.
- Now I've turned it into something that I can use positively
- You just don't know when your number is up, and I wanted to live the most fabulous life that I could....Im just interested in being true to myself
- It's about learning as much about yourself and evolving as much as you can.
- I wanted to turn it into something that didn't leave me damaged. And there will always be a bit of damage there, but to use that in a way now that it gives me strength.

- Make the most of all of it. Go for it! Who cares what anyone else thinks
- I keep listening to myself, and I gauge whether I'm happy, and I truly am
- It's nice to know that the decisions you are making are the right ones
- It takes a very strong women to stop!
- Learning that you are not your thought
- Those thoughts that come into your head - learn to observe it, but not attach yourself to it
- Being a lot slower with everything I do now, but achieving the same amount...
- Being a hell of a lot gentler on myself and seeing that as a strength
- When it comes to happiness and fear, we try to shove happiness over top of it
- It's actually ok to sit there with your anger, and actually feel it and acknowledge it, or sit with your sadness.
- Sometimes you need to sit with your discomfort instead of mask it
- Be ok to seek out different ways to heal it.
- I'm just really enjoying the present moment

This not only left her with mild Cerebral Palsy, but some pretty full on predictions from doctors on how her life would be. It was in her late teens when Jessie was in the depths of depression and struggling with mental health issues that she discovered NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), and used it to transform herself. Today, she is passionate about life, and also about helping others out of their own suffering to live to their true potential. She uses NLP to help her clients eliminate causes of anything undesirable they are experiencing, as well train their mind to automatically think and behave in a way to that is conducive to their best outcome. of Jessie has set up her own successful coaching business - Empower Me Now, and is also a public speaker.

- ...NLP, and I thought - 'What the hells that?' (9:00)
- The next morning, I woke up and I had a clear mind! (9:42)
- I had very low self worth, so I think a lot of the anxiety stemmed from that ( 11:05)
- So what NLP is - is how we the language in our mind and with others. What NLP involves is a specific form of processes that we use with the mind in a very controlled state ( 12:57)

- These exercises, trigger on an unconscious level our cellular memory where all this stuff is stored (13:55)
- Our whole life of all our past experiences, our beliefs, our values are totally affecting us today (15:13)
- We only use 15- 20% of our conscious mind, so all these memories (traumatic experiences or whatever it may have been in life) is stored in that part of the mind that we don't consciously think about on a daily basis (16:14)
- I was my own biggest skeptic - I was thinking 'This is just so insane - how could this stuff work?' (18:04)
- I can't deny the evidence from what I was to what I am now (18:23)
- It is our perception that is creating our reality, and if we listen to these people we can often get into a mindset of being a victim (44:40)
- here is nothing you cannot achieve - we've just got to be able to believe that. (44:16)
- Nothing has any meaning but the meaning that you give it (46:35)
