Blushing Phoenix
Blushing Phoenix is where vulnerability meets power — and shame becomes your turning point.
Hosted by April Poynter, this podcast and YouTube channel exists at the intersection of deep sensitivity and unshakable strength.
It was born from April’s own journey with chronic blushing and erythrophobia — a physical response that once felt like a curse, but became the gateway to healing, growth, and radical self-trust.
The blush symbolizes the quiet pain of self-betrayal — the years spent hiding, people-pleasing, and shrinking in relationships, work, and identity.
The phoenix represents what happens when you stop running from yourself and begin to rise — bolder, freer, louder, and more aligned.
Blushing Phoenix is for the women who feel everything deeply, who’ve silenced themselves to fit in, and who are ready to live louder without abandoning their softness.
Through raw stories, spiritual insights, and real conversations, April guides you to reclaim your voice, reconnect with your body, and rise from the ashes of who you were told to be — into the fire of who you really are.

It's been a bazillion years since I've posted a podcast! I was inspired by my friend Amanda. She just launched her new podcast - (go listen to it here)!
I wanted to share some updates and thoughts that I've had lately. If you're a person who is evolving and growing in your consciousness - this episode may be helpful for you!
Sometimes we think we're helping and we're not. Sometimes others think they are helping us, but they're not. If you find yourself in a season where you feel you're talking but no one hears you - you're not alone!
