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 Jude Guaitamacchi | Shame, Empowerment & Liberation
I first met Jude Guaitamacchi (they/them) on a Zoom call to chat about them speaking at some events. I was instantly bowled over by their energy & enthusiasm!
And that's Jude. They're out to make a difference. Through activism, campaigning and education. From wonderful, well known campaigns such as 'L with the T' and '#transpeopleareloved' through to founding the Trans+ Solidarity Alliance. Their career, work and purpose has evolved over the years and their gender journey is a fundamental part of that.
Jude's early years were challenging and turbulent and we'd like to put out a trigger warning with this episode as we cover challenging issues including addiction, recovery and mental health.
'Shame, Empowerment & Liberation' are the three words Jude uses to describe their origin story - which lean very much into how their adventure to 'becomingjude' (their Insta handle) is a work in progress and one that is changing lives. There's a lot of joy & love here too - for chosen family, the trans+ community and each other. Enjoy!
