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.

How to Be Confident Even If You Blush
**FREE SOCIAL GATHERING SURVIVAL GUIDE: https://payhip.com/b/OZ2Yr
Blushing doesn’t disqualify you from confidence. In this video, I’m breaking down why confidence has nothing to do with the color of your face and everything to do with self-trust, nervous system safety, and the people you surround yourself with.
I’ll share how shifting your focus outward, building micro-bravery, and finding safe relationships can completely change your experience with blushing. I’m also opening up about a recent moment with a friend where my body had a trauma response and how moving through that discomfort helped me grow even stronger.
If you think you have to “fix” your blushing before you can show up confidently, this video will change that belief. You get to be confident and blush at the same time.
