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… ?

Episode 15
Growing up in Eastern Europe after the fall of Communism is a huge part of Katya Veleva's (they/them) story and they share how this wasn't easy - yet it's definitely not something that has defined them. In contrast to the black & white photos in their memory that capture this period in time, Katya is a burst of colour & energy.
Katya is a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Consultant with a solid background in architecture, construction and digital health programmes - and I loved hearing about their transition between careers to what they're doing so brilliantly now!
A deep understanding and knowledge with creativity and communication skills in abundance shine through, both in Katya's professional role and the way they express themself, through their love of art and creating. 'Driven Balkan Geek' are the three words Katya uses to describe themselves & their origin story - listen in on this touching conversation as we delve into Katya's formative years, finding freedom and the immense impact their mum has had on who they are. Enjoy!
