Dearly beloved,
The first three episodes of the podcast are alive and kicking and I���m pleased to say - I am average! What do I mean? Well, the average number of downloads for a podcast is 50 per episode, and with the third episode I���ve broken the 50 barrier! All thanks to my wonderful guest Monica and her joie de vivre.
https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/pearl-escapes-fear-of-success/id1522149156
Sometimes the concepts I talk about can seem a bit remote, so it���s always lovely to have a real human to talk with and work with. So I���ve had an idea for a future episode and I���d like to find the perfect guest for that. My work has always been about helping people escape, to feel alive, and so I wondered, is there something that you feel held back by now, a block you want to release, a limiting belief you want to overcome? If so, drop me an email to pearl@pearlescapes.co.uk and we can talk about whether it would be suitable for us to work through together on a video call which we���d then make a podcast episode. (Half an hour to an hour.) (Just to clarify there is no fee for the session!)
Oh and to celebrate the launch of the podcast I���ve dropped the price of the book! And am working through dropping the prices of many of my other books.
I hope it helps.
Lots of love, Pearl

Dearly beloved,
So I���m dipping my toe into another new area - podcasting. One of the best things I���ve done in terms of my books was to start releasing them as audiobooks, and although there are only three of them available so far, they actually prove more popular than my eBooks and print books... so here���s hoping that podcasting is also a good move!
I���m actually a more visual person and I like watching people talking, so I���ll also be including my podcasts on my YouTube channel.
I realise that I often go a bit fast, so for this podcast my goal is to take it really slow and examine in detail each area of fear of success, so much so that my first episode is called ���What Is Success?��� in which I talk about how, for some people, especially right now, just walking out of the door is going to be a huge achievement. It���s going live on Tuesday 7th July, or you can watch it on my YouTube channel now.
I���d love to know your feedback and questions - please feel free to drop them on YouTube or on wherever you listen to podcasts (I���ll start adding links here soon), and thank you so much more reading, listening, watching.
I hope it helps.
Lots of love, Pearl

Why the false concept of white (and other) superiority exists and persists

In September 2017, I travelled to South Africa to try to understand reconciliation. I had been feeling the need to go there for over a year, but had to wait, first to sell my house and then for the weather to cool, and in the meantime I travelled around the rest of the world.
Family difficulties meant that I was greatly conflicted, I didn't know if I had a home to go back to, I didn't know if I would be accepted by my family ever again, as we seemed to think so differently about so many things. I felt hated, and yet I knew that I couldn't be anything other than who and what I was, even if it meant losing my family. I could no longer pretend to be what I was not.
My question, as I flew into South Africa, was simple, "How can we come to peace with the people who hate us, who judge us?" I had been reading books by Archbishop Desmond Tutu talking about the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, about its successes and failures to work through the pain, the human rights violations, the crimes, everything that marked a traumatic and often bloody transition from the system of apartheid to a new system, a new way of life.
I visited his home, and the home of Nelson Mandela (where I felt more deeply the spirit of Winnie Mandela and learned more about her life) but I still didn't understand, I didn't understand reconciliation.
And then I did. I understood, in a quiet, empty street, the lie at the bottom of so much prejudice, "We are different." And, because of a little, black girl walking along the road, I also understood another fear, that sits so close to our baseless fear of difference that it often feels like one fear, "I am scared to stand out." Many of us are scared to be the one white person in a black area, the one black person in a white area, or the one woman in a man's world, because we think, often correctly, that all eyes will be on us. We will feel exposed. And yet, in my travelling, in my wandering off, I have time and time again been the only white girl on the bus, the only white person on the plane, the only white person on the beach, and I have only ever experienced care, concern and respect.
In letting go of the first lie, and understanding that shadowy fear that clung to it, I understood why we sometimes compare ourselves on the basis of skin colour, or some exterior difference, but it was in the teachings and writings of Nelson Mandela that I came to understand white and other types of supremacy, why they exist and how they persist.
Mandela knew that in order to dismantle apartheid, to try to end racism, all races had to be freed from the system. In his own words, about his time in prison:
���It was during those long and lonely years that my hunger for the freedom of my own people became a hunger for the freedom of all people, white and black. I knew as well as I knew anything that the oppressor must be liberated just as surely as the oppressed���.
But how?
Mandela taught and wrote from an understanding of consciousness, from an understanding that however society might judge a man, woman or child, it was his or her own judgment that was paramount:
���I have never regarded any man as my superior, either in my life outside or inside prison.���
But Mandela understood that to the white man raised in the apartheid system, who had been taught since birth that he was superior because of the colour of his skin, to have that sense of superiority taken away would result in a crisis: a crisis of self-worth, a crisis of identity, a crisis of feeling that if he could not judge himself as better than those with darker skin, he was worse than them. Mandela knew that in order to dissolve white supremacy, it was necessary for white people to learn that they were enough, regardless of the colour of their skin, that they were enough without the extra rights they had enjoyed and the attendant privileges of being white. I can almost see Mandela in my mind patting a white guard on the back and saying, "It���s okay, you're not 'white' anymore, you're just white now."
"Social change is only the outcome of our change in consciousness." Thich Nhat Hanh
Our ego always wants to tell us that we are better or worse than others, never equal, otherwise we might realise we don't need it so much. That better or worse has been enshrined in and perpetuated by the legal and other systems, but Mandela taught, and I believe, that in order to dismantle those systems, we need to understand how we build our identity around and hang our self-esteem upon what we perceive as our differences.
To demonstrate this��� Can you imagine if Donald Trump woke up one morning and instead of being a white, straight, Christian man he was a black woman, or a black lesbian? Or a black, Muslim lesbian? How would he feel about himself? What level of existential crisis do you think he would face?
What if you woke up in the morning and were a different race? Would it radically change your opinion of yourself?
What if you, as in the film "The Infidel", had spent your whole life as a Muslim, and then realised you had been adopted from a Jewish family?
What if you believed yourself to be straight or gay, and then fell in love with someone you never expected and realised you were instead bisexual?
And what if, no matter what you believed about yourself, you realised that your family, your friends, your colleagues, everyone you loved, would now reject you, because of the colour of your skin, because of your gender, your sexuality, your religion?
Would you still be you?
Here's one more. What if you went to bed and woke up disabled? Because actually, that happens every day.
Christopher Reeve wrote an incredible, powerful book about becoming disabled called "Still Me". It���s in the title, and yet��� he also talked about the darkest times, about feeling that it wasn't worth going on.
When someone becomes disabled, they often lose friends. It���s hard. There are many reasons for this, but ultimately it comes down to the existential crisis of witnessing change. For some, it is the fear that this could happen to them, a fear they cannot look in the eye. For others, it is not being able to bear the loss of the person they were friends with, because this new person seems so different. For others, it is survivor guilt, or twisted emotions or complicated grief. None of it is the fault of the person who became disabled.
Black, white, male, female, straight, gay, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, disabled���
These are the big labels, and yet sometimes we set more store by other labels: our nationality, our profession, our height, our memberships���
During the time of coronavirus, many people lost labels, lost things which they felt defined them, so now more than ever we need to look again, at the people around us, at the way we label them, in the mirror, at the way we label ourselves and ask the deepest, most searching questions about who we are, and who we aspire to be. We need to ask if we are willing to be defined by the boxes on a questionnaire, or our income, our diet, our environmental stance, which way we vote, our age, or can we finally stop basing our identity on the way we differentiate ourselves from others? Can we embrace the things that make us the same, as well as the things that make us different, and where we have exceptional gifts, things that make us stand out at times, can we hold them as gifts not just for ourselves but for the whole world, and use them in service for all?
"In judging our progress as individuals, we tend to concentrate on external factors such as one's social position, influence and popularity, wealth and standard of education��� but internal factors may be even more crucial in assessing one's development as a human being: humility, purity, generosity, absence of vanity, readiness to serve your fellow man ��� qualities within the reach of every human soul." Nelson Mandela in a letter to Winnie Madikizela Mandela, 1977

In September 2017, I travelled to South Africa to try to understand reconciliation. I had been feeling the need to go there for over a year, but had to wait, first to sell my house and then for the weather to cool, and in the meantime I travelled around the rest of the world.
Family difficulties meant that I was greatly conflicted, I didn't know if I had a home to go back to, I didn't know if I would be accepted by my family ever again, as we seemed to think so differently about so many things. I felt hated, and yet I knew that I couldn't be anything other than who and what I was, even if it meant losing my family. I could no longer pretend to be what I was not.
My question, as I flew into South Africa, was simple, "How can we come to peace with the people who hate us, who judge us?" I had been reading books by Archbishop Desmond Tutu talking about the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, about its successes and failures to work through the pain, the human rights violations, the crimes, everything that marked a traumatic and often bloody transition from the system of apartheid to a new system, a new way of life.
I visited his home, and the home of Nelson Mandela (where I felt more deeply the spirit of Winnie Mandela and learned more about her life) but I still didn't understand, I didn't understand reconciliation.
And then I did. I understood, in a quiet, empty street, the lie at the bottom of so much prejudice, "We are different." And, because of a little, black girl walking along the road, I also understood another fear, that sits so close to our baseless fear of difference that it often feels like one fear, "I am scared to stand out." Many of us are scared to be the one white person in a black area, the one black person in a white area, or the one woman in a man's world, because we think, often correctly, that all eyes will be on us. We will feel exposed. And yet, in my travelling, in my wandering off, I have time and time again been the only white girl on the bus, the only white person on the plane, the only white person on the beach, and I have only ever experienced care, concern and respect.
In letting go of the first lie, and understanding that shadowy fear that clung to it, I understood why we sometimes compare ourselves on the basis of skin colour, or some exterior difference, but it was in the teachings and writings of Nelson Mandela that I came to understand white and other types of supremacy, why they exist and how they persist.
Mandela knew that in order to dismantle apartheid, to try to end racism, all races had to be freed from the system. In his own words, about his time in prison:
���It was during those long and lonely years that my hunger for the freedom of my own people became a hunger for the freedom of all people, white and black. I knew as well as I knew anything that the oppressor must be liberated just as surely as the oppressed���.

And, because of a little, black girl walking along the road, I also understood another fear, that sits so close to our baseless fear of difference that it often feels like one fear, "I am scared to stand out." Many of us are scared to be the one white person in a black area, the one black person in a white area, or the one woman in a man's world, because we think, often correctly, that all eyes will be on us. We will feel exposed. And yet, in my travelling, in my wandering off, I have time and time again been the only white girl on the bus, the only white person on the plane, the only white person on the beach, and I have only ever experienced care, concern and respect.

Mandela taught and wrote from an understanding of consciousness, from an understanding that however society might judge a man, woman or child, it was his or her own judgment that was paramount:
���I have never regarded any man as my superior, either in my life outside or inside prison.���
But Mandela understood that to the white man raised in the apartheid system, who had been taught since birth that he was superior because of the colour of his skin, to have that sense of superiority taken away would result in a crisis: a crisis of self-worth, a crisis of identity, a crisis of feeling that if he could not judge himself as better than those with darker skin, he was worse than them. Mandela knew that in order to dissolve white supremacy, it was necessary for white people to learn that they were enough, regardless of the colour of their skin, that they were enough without the extra rights they had enjoyed and the attendant privileges of being white. I can almost see Mandela in my mind patting a white guard on the back and saying, "It���s okay, you're not 'white' anymore, you're just white now."
"Social change is only the outcome of our change in consciousness." Thich Nhat Hanh
Our ego always wants to tell us that we are better or worse than others, never equal, otherwise we might realise we don't need it so much. That better or worse has been enshrined in and perpetuated by the legal and other systems, but Mandela taught, and I believe, that in order to dismantle those systems, we need to understand how we build our identity around and hang our self-esteem upon what we perceive as our differences.
To demonstrate this��� Can you imagine if Donald Trump woke up one morning and instead of being a white, straight, Christian man he was a black woman, or a black lesbian? Or a black, Muslim lesbian? How would he feel about himself? What level of existential crisis do you think he would face?
What if you woke up in the morning and were a different race? Would it radically change your opinion of yourself?
What if you, as in the film "The Infidel", had spent your whole life as a Muslim, and then realised you had been adopted from a Jewish family?
What if you believed yourself to be straight or gay, and then fell in love with someone you never expected and realised you were instead bisexual?
And what if, no matter what you believed about yourself, you realised that your family, your friends, your colleagues, everyone you loved, would now reject you, because of the colour of your skin, because of your gender, your sexuality, your religion?
Would you still be you?
Here's one more. What if you went to bed and woke up disabled? Because actually, that happens every day.
Christopher Reeve wrote an incredible, powerful book about becoming disabled called "Still Me". It���s in the title, and yet��� he also talked about the darkest times, about feeling that it wasn't worth going on.
When someone becomes disabled, they often lose friends. It���s hard. There are many reasons for this, but ultimately it comes down to the existential crisis of witnessing change. For some, it is the fear that this could happen to them, a fear they cannot look in the eye. For others, it is not being able to bear the loss of the person they were friends with, because this new person seems so different. For others, it is survivor guilt, or twisted emotions or complicated grief. None of it is the fault of the person who became disabled.
Black, white, male, female, straight, gay, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, disabled���
These are the big labels, and yet sometimes we set more store by other labels: our nationality, our profession, our height, our memberships���
During the time of coronavirus, many people lost labels, lost things which they felt defined them, so now more than ever we need to look again, at the people around us, at the way we label them, in the mirror, at the way we label ourselves and ask the deepest, most searching questions about who we are, and who we aspire to be. We need to ask if we are willing to be defined by the boxes on a questionnaire, or our income, our diet, our environmental stance, which way we vote, our age, or can we finally stop basing our identity on the way we differentiate ourselves from others? Can we embrace the things that make us the same, as well as the things that make us different, and where we have exceptional gifts, things that make us stand out at times, can we hold them as gifts not just for ourselves but for the whole world, and use them in service for all?
"In judging our progress as individuals, we tend to concentrate on external factors such as one's social position, influence and popularity, wealth and standard of education��� but internal factors may be even more crucial in assessing one's development as a human being: humility, purity, generosity, absence of vanity, readiness to serve your fellow man ��� qualities within the reach of every human soul." Nelson Mandela in a letter to Winnie Madikizela Mandela, 1977

I am reading another account of a black man���s arrest. Or rather, an account of a mother trying to piece together the circumstances of her son���s death. She is an academic and it is beautifully and almost impossibly unbiased. The self control this woman shows in her writing is hard for me to understand.
And yet, I want to put my hand up and say one big thing, I want to ask why I am reading this, why does this woman have to explain so calmly, over and over again, the details of her son���s toxicology because of a trace of cocaine which may or may not have been in his system. The details of his alcohol intake, the inaccurate reporting of his weight. Why the need, when even the official medical examiner and the police themselves tell her the only relevant things surely? The death is labelled as homicide, the police admit he died during the arrest, the medical attention at the hospital was useless. But why? Why does this grieving mother have to answer questions about her son���s movements on that day, about anything?
He was murdered whilst being arrested. These are the words of the medical examiner and the police force.
There is a word for this type of investigation, this laying out of the facts, this discussion of a person���s merits and motives and character. It is called a trial.
I am not American, but am I wrong in thinking that in the UK and the US all suspects are innocent, until proven guilty, that one should not need to be proven innocent in order to have a fair arrest?
I watched my father get arrested more than once. He needed to be arrested, he was a danger to others, and I was always happy to see the police arrive and relieved when they left with him in the car. I will always be grateful to those police officers.
Let���s face it, I can imagine more than one police officer feeling like he deserved to be taught a lesson, be given a slap. I can imagine that if his blood was tested, it wouldn���t have been a shock to find substances in there.
I worked for 13 years in the City of London. If you stopped and searched around there on a busy night, at least when I worked there, there would have been a lot of work for the toxicology department.
But who cares? That���s what the courts are for, right? To figure out who���s right and wrong, to judge, to sentence.
The media love a good story, so George Floyd is labelled as a hero and as having changed the world. Since Ahmaud Arbery died, certain right wing commentators have suggested that he was guilty of being ���on the rob��� as we would call it in England. Others call him another hero since his death. But what I cannot seem to forget is what I read in one media report, that following her death nearly three months ago, the family of Breonna Taylor found it difficult to find funeral directors who would help them lay their girl to rest, because she had been labelled a ���suspect���.
I did not know them. I will never know them. Whether they were heroes in life or in death may be argued over by the media, by those responsible for police reform, by governments and everyone else, but there are two things that they will never have - a fair trial and another day on this earth.

What prejudice costs us

I don���t think anyone would deny that prejudice costs those at whom it is directed. We know about the pay gap, we know women consistently lose out financially to their male peers. Does racism cost non-white people, do they get paid less than their white peers? I should think so. And then of course there���s getting the job in the first place.
What else? Well I���ve always been sensitive about the ���old age tax��� - what I call it when younger, more internet savvy individuals are constantly getting the best deal, whereas older people who don���t know their way around haggling or comparison websites or the internet in general, are routinely charged way in excess for their utilities, insurance, phones, housewares and pretty much anything else you could buy online.
How about disabled people? Guaranteed.
But what about the other costs - emotional, health, relationship, educational...
Guess what, this article isn���t even about all that. Because prejudice costs us all even more than that.
Just take a look at the people ���in charge��� for a second. Predominantly white, predominantly male, predominantly of a certain age, predominantly excluding anyone with a disability. Do you think these people are in leadership because they are the only people who could do this job? Do you think they are the best suited for this job? Do you think that, during the time of coronavirus, they have done a good job? Do you think that, in leading their countries during this crisis, they have honoured their contract to serve the population, the whole population, not just the people they see as important or powerful?
Just for one second, imagine, what do you think the loss of life would have been in the United States if, instead of Donald Trump, Barack Obama had been president?
This is one of the ���small��� costs of prejudice.
In England we are looking at ending this crisis with the worst per capita loss of life in the world.
In the world.
We had everything.
We had more advance warning than most other countries.
We had a health service built to serve all for 70 years, and even private hospitals to expand into. We even had warehouse like structures to create temporary hospitals.
We were offered the ability to purchase respirators and PPE along with our European friends.
We had a wealth of food, medicine and toilet paper. Enough for everyone.
But it didn���t matter, because more than that, we had arrogance, we had hubris.
We didn���t need to listen to the other experts, our leaders just wanted to listen to the ones who told them what was easiest to hear.
Our leaders didn���t need to think about our vulnerable or those in care homes, they needed to focus on the economy first.
We didn���t need to wear face masks, even home made ones, because they wouldn���t protect us from the virus, just stop the spread of it.
We needed to distance socially except in political press conferences.
We needed to stay in our homes, unless we needed to check our eyesight and then we should drive several hundred miles.
We needed to make sure people were following the rules, so the police needed to stop anyone who was driving around - especially if they were black.
Our leaders in England didn���t need to listen to the Welsh, or the Scots or, God forbid, the Irish, let alone the French. No, we could do it better.
The highest loss of life per capita in the world.
This is what arrogance, hubris and prejudice costs us. Today.
We need the best person to do the job, not the whitest, not the one who is male, not the one who is a particular age, not the one who doesn���t have a disability. We need the best person for the job.
If we had the best person for the job in the job, in government we would be able to see it. We would see diversity.
