Blushing Phoenix
Blushing Phoenix is a podcast about learning to trust yourself.
Think about the moments where you edit yourself to stay safe. You hold back. Play small. Don’t set a boundary. Say less. Leave. Hide. Cancel.
Why?
What’s the consequence of being seen?
Of being you?
These voice memos and conversations challenge you to notice where you’re abandoning yourself - and choose differently.
Not later. In the moment.
Change the story by changing the behavior.
Notice. Interrupt. Choose. Change.
Blushing (or whatever you fear) is the invitation.
Phoenix is choosing the discomfort that comes with being fully you.

57: Could Blushing or Hives Be Linked to Your Hormones? Understanding Progesterone Dermatitis
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever noticed your face flushing, breaking out in hives, or turning red right before your period? It might not just be stress or anxiety — your hormones could be involved.
In this video, I’m sharing what I recently learned about Autoimmune Progesterone Dermatitis (APD) — a rare but fascinating condition where the body becomes sensitive to its own hormone, progesterone. We’ll explore what it is, why it happens, and how it connects to symptoms like blushing, redness, and hives.
You’ll learn:
What progesterone dermatitis actually is
How hormones can trigger redness, hives, or flushing
Why it might flare before your period
What to track and discuss with your doctor
Possible treatment options and next steps
If you’ve ever wondered why your skin reacts in cycles or why your redness feels out of your control, this video will give you a new perspective to explore with your healthcare provider.
Have you noticed your skin flares up at the same time every month? Share your experience in the comments — your story might help someone else feel less alone.
