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. Learn more at www.aprilpoynter.com

While sitting in the dark pit of depression, I realized - the best thing I could ever offer back to the world is - KEEP MYSELF ALIVE.
After years of being conditioned to believe that choosing me meant I was selfish or didn't care about others, I realized the opposite is true.
Choosing me allows me to bring more value to the world around me.
People who get it - get it.
People who don't - those aren't y...
Yesterday I decided I would outwork any fear or doubt that was knocking at the door of my mind.
I would outrun it.
Not entertain it.
Not sit with it.
Not this time.
Because I can't afford to let myself drift anymore.
Also, what good does it do?
A day of sulking and worrying. - only to bounce back and make up for lost time tomorrow?

The 'in-between' is just simply uncomfortable at times. Perhaps the discomfort you feel isn't a problem to solve, but instead a necessary tension to manage.

"Boudoir is about rebuilding a confident connection with your body."
In this episode, I sit down with Jordan Tribble, CEO and photographer behind Wilder Love Boudoir, to explore how boudoir is so much more than a photoshoot. It’s an experience that invites people to be seen, drop the performance, and reconnect with who they really are.
Jordan shares her story of going blind in one eye at...

Hear me out.
Friendship should feel like a choice and not a responsibility.
It should flow.
If friendships aren't working out for you - perhaps it's not YOU.
Perhaps, your defintiion of friendship isn't in alignment with their definition of friendship... and therefore there's just overall misalignment that creates a mismatch.
And that's okay.
Trust that you can handle the discomfort of settin...
What is Blushing Phoenix? Something I have struggled to answer for a long time.
Until today.
When you're feeling stuck - and doors aren't opening - you're actually right where you need to be.
Another unedited message. No polish. Just hitting record and letting the thoughts flow.
If you've been feeling like it's time to let go - whether that's dreams, goals, visions, plans, ideals, people, etc ... but you're afraid that means you're giving up - this is for you.
Do you and your friends share audio message ramblings? I'm trying something new on the podcast. No edits. No cleanup. No plan. Just me sharing thoughts with you as if I have your phone number and just hit record on the audio to talk to you during my morning walk.
1. Because it helps me process.
