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.

The Reintroduction: Noelle Dawson - Owning The Past Without Letting it Define Your Future
In this final chapter of her 4-part series, Noelle Dawson brings it all home.
She opens up about her relationship with Chris—her former husband—and the deep shame she carried for all he endured. But now, seeing him find peace, love, and fulfillment has freed something inside her. It’s shown her that even when things fall apart, beauty can still rise from the ashes.
This episode is about redemption.
It’s about honoring the pain and the growth.
It’s about owning your past without letting it define your future.
Noelle also reintroduces herself—not as a version of who she was, but as the woman she is now. Whole. Healing. And still becoming.
She leaves us with words of encouragement for anyone who has followed her journey, felt misunderstood in their own, or questioned whether healing is even possible.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re allowed to move forward after the mess—this episode is your answer.
Catch Parts 1–3 to walk the full journey, and watch this final chapter when you’re ready to meet the real Noelle.
