This episode was A MOMENT for ‘Pause. And Rewind..’. It was my first time recording live with a live audience! And a celebration of three things…

• A whole year since I launched the podcast
• Lesbian Visibility Week
• My guest - the one & only Char Bailey

“Once I know what my truth is, can’t nobody tell me shit about shit. Because I know exactly who I am”.

Char (she/her) wears many hats. Director of People & Culture for Birmingham Pride. Education & Inclusion Office for UK Black Pride. She’s on the Board for Neurodiversity in Business. Features Editor & Roving presenter for Diva Magazine. NLP Practitioner, Coach & Facilitator. And Tree Hugger. Yes, that’s a lot. Char shows up for people. With a lot of heart, energy & skill. Plus the best hugs!

We chat about community, forgiveness, legacy, relationships, spirituality & more. I’m not gonna overload this description - I’ll let the podcast speak for itself but it’s packed with anecdotes, insights & realisations that say so much about Char’s origin story & the absolute change maker we know & love today. It’s also bloody hilarious too. ENJOY!
