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.

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.Bio:Perle Noire is THE Black Burlesque Queen. Known as Mama Perle in the burlesque community, she's been blessed with the unique gift of embodying Josephine Baker and healing an audience in a theatre or in the classroom. A paragon of glitz and glamour, Perle is an intuitive healer, creative director, transformative coach, and the creator of The Healing Through Seduction program.

She emphasizes that actions speak louder than words, and real accomplishments come from actively pursuing your goals.The Impact of Stress on Decision-Making: Victoria discusses the effects of stress on decision-making, emphasizing that during major life transitions like divorce, decision fatigue can lead to detrimental choices.

Determined to bring a modern peaceful approach to the divorce process, Victoria founded Divorce Analytics.
