Rise Up with April Poynter
Rise Up with April Poynter
This is the unfiltered version of April.
Rise Up is a podcast about the real stuff — healing, leading, building, and figuring it out along the way.
No single lane. No neat category. Just honest conversations and solo thoughts from someone who has spent over 20 years in boardrooms, break rooms, and every space in between.
Some episodes are about chronic blushing and breaking the loop.
Some are about the alignment gap between leaders and the people doing the work.
Some are just audio messages — unscripted, unedited, straight from wherever April is in that moment.
Because some thoughts are too real to wait for a recording schedule.
All of it comes from the same place.
Just a human. Navigating being one.
All of it is Rise Up.
Come for one thing. Stay for all of it.

If you’ve ever flushed the second someone else starts turning red, you’re not crazy and you’re definitely not alone. This video breaks down sympathy blushing, why your nervous system mirrors other people, and how your mind can create physical reactions out of thin air. I share a personal story about thinking I had stroke symptoms just from reading about strokes, and how that proves your mind is powerful enough to work for you instead of against you.
You can overcome this. And it starts with understanding what’s actually happening.
