Blushing Phoenix
From The Ashes 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 (the fear of turning red in front of others), 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 person who feels everything deeply, who has silenced themselves to fit in, and who is now 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.
Alchemize fear into fire.

Sympathy Blushing: When You See Someone Else Turn Red & You start To Flush
*FREE SOCIAL GATHERING SURVIVAL GUIDE* https://payhip.com/b/OZ2Yr
If you’ve ever flushed the second someone else starts turning red, you’re not crazy and you’re definitely not alone. This video breaks down sympathy blushing, why your nervous system mirrors other people, and how your mind can create physical reactions out of thin air. I share a personal story about thinking I had stroke symptoms just from reading about strokes, and how that proves your mind is powerful enough to work for you instead of against you.
You can overcome this. And it starts with understanding what’s actually happening.
