The Mind-Body Podcast, Your Rebellious Podcast Maria Angelova

In this episode of the the Mind Body Podcast, your host Maria interviews Pearl Noire, a notable figure in modern burlesque, dubbed the "Black Burlesque Queen." Pearl discusses her journey and the transformative power of burlesque, emphasizing its role in self-healing and empowerment. She describes burlesque as an art form that allows complete autonomy over one’s body, contrary to common perceptions of it merely being about striptease. Pearl highlights her personal healing journey through burlesque, explaining how it helped her reclaim her body and narrative, especially from traumatic past experiences.

Pearl also delves into the concept of "healing through seduction," a method she developed to encourage individuals to find self-love and redefine their relationship with their own bodies. She stresses the importance of self-seduction, urging listeners to embrace their physical changes and imperfections as part of their identity, rather than seeking external validation.

Throughout the interview, Pearl and Maria discuss the misconceptions surrounding seduction and burlesque, advocating for a deeper understanding and appreciation of these as tools for personal empowerment and self-acceptance. Pearl's message is clear: true seduction is about feeling safe and authentic with oneself, transforming self-perception and embracing one's full potential without judgment.

He specializes in keeping heart attacks and strokes optional for his patients, as well as optimizing their gut, digestion, and other health fundamentals. His goal is to “maximize the health-span, not just the lifespan” of every person who works with him.
 
Dr. Singh not only promotes holistic methods to his patients but practices them himself. His personal wellness routine includes pranayama, meditation, yoga, intermittent fasting, and a focus on good nutrition and thoughtful supplementation (he takes his own products!). Outside of his practice, Dr. Singh enjoys spending time with his family – he is married with three children. In his free time, he loves to sing and pursue his passion for music.
