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.

The Knower
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I recently quit a project I've been working on for 3 years.
A Youtube channel that I organically grew to 1400 subscribers.
In the past three years, this channel has had 92, 097 views and 6700 hours of watchime.
Who knew that a channel about Erythrophobia (the fear of turning red) and Chronic Blushing & Skin Flushing could gain so much traction?
I was right on the edge of "success" as far as monetizing the channel. You need 1k Subs and 4k watch hours (within 365 days).
I have 1400 subs and 3,935 watch hours.
AND I QUIT.
Why? Well... because my KNOWER knows things that don't always make sense - but I always understand.
If you're seeking help when it comes to red blushing or flushing skin - or other insecurities such as excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), etc. These free resources are out there for you or someone you know who may be struggling.
I'm proud of the work that's been done, the healing that has occurred and the incredible people I have met from LITERALLY all over the world.
The resources will always be there - even if I'm not.
