Ignite with April Poynter
Welcome to Ignite - a podcast for the in-between.
I’m April Poynter, your Transformation Partner.
I help individuals and organizations move through the fog of transition. From burnout and identity shifts to grief, awakenings, cultural shifts, and leadership evolution (you know, the human stuff) - and move toward clarity, alignment, and grounded forward movement.
This podcast is a home for honest conversations, soulful strategy, and stories from people who have been (or are in) the messy middle.
Whether you’re shedding old roles, healing from burnout, or navigating growth in your life or leadership, I’m here to walk with you.
Let’s slow down, tune in, and ignite what’s next - from a place that’s real, rooted, and fully you.
Please rate and review the podcast if you enjoy it.

Let's Talk Perfectionism, EXTREME Weight Loss, & Creativity: With Joel Pimentel
I had the honor of talking with Joel Pimentel about his 50-pound weight-loss journey and his struggle with perfectionism. Many blushers suffer from perfectionism (I know I sure did). Although he's not a blusher, his struggles and mental battles are very similar to those who struggle with erythrophobia.
Joel was able to move through his insecurities and create amazing content, which later led to a video that now has over 300k views and over 5k subscribers to his Youtube channel in just a few short months.
Joel didn't wait until he felt ready, he just moved into action. I hope you find some encouragement from his incredible story and how he was able to lift himself from the pit of perfectionism and into living the life he desired.
