Pause. And Rewind...
I’m Neil (he/him) - host of my podcast, Pause. And Rewind… I’ll be chatting to change makers, thought leaders & role models who all share a common goal. They’re striving to make the world a more inclusive place. And let’s face, we need it!
Each guest has a unique story when it comes to doing their thing. We often know who people are in the now. But how much do we really know about them?
Pause. And Rewind… takes a moment to explore the experiences in my guests’ lives that led them to where & who they are now. Cos’ everyone loves an origin story!
We’ll dive into tales, anecdotes and what makes our guests tick. So, are you ready to Pause. And Rewind… ?

Pause. And Rewind... with Maylis Djikalou | Dramatic, Pivotal & Graceful
I was a fan of Maylis Djikalou (she/her) for some time before I had the privilege of working with her for a brief time. Listening and watching the way she spoke, heard and felt someone's story on events really moved me.
Maylis is an inclusion consultant, coach and legend! We'd chatted before about all things life, including tough experiences, but this conversation really dove deep into Maylis' origin story. It's a longer episode than previous ones and well worth time & attention - it's a conversation I will cherish.
There is a need for a trigger warning here. The podcast features discussion around suicide, addiction and abortion. And how these experiences have shaped Maylis. Please take care of yourself whilst listening.
We cover tons more too. As with life, through the trauma, there are many joyful moments to reflect on and hearing about 'little Maylis' and how it's shining through in her two children was wonderful - even if it is biting her on the arse a bit! Maylis shares how overcoming these challenges with grace have shaped her life - and if you listen, you'll understand why the 3 words she uses to describe her origin story are 'Dramatic, Pivotal and Graceful'.
