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.
