We're a few days into Pride Month and so I'm taking this episode to shout about We Create Space, and more specifically, its Founder, Michael Stephens (he/they). I work for Michael so we chat every day but I was super excited to invite him onto 'Pause. And Rewind...' to find out more about him!

We Create Space is a global learning platform providing DEI consultancy to organisations worldwide who want to create more inclusive workplaces. This is done through our wonderful Collective of queer change makers & thought leaders. As a CIC, the money it makes goes back to delivering community events - something that is fundamental to Michael and through the mission to bring people together in safe spaces to 'learn, connect & grow'. It's all done through a truly inclusive & intersectional lens.

This episode explores how Michael's experiences with bullying, shame, eating disorders and mental health play a core role in the creation of We Create Space. Please take care of yourself whilst listening as some of these topics can be triggering.

'Community' is one of the words Michael uses to describe his origin story alongside 'Determination' and 'Intuition'. He casually drops in some poignant life lessons that I'm certainly taking on board and I think you might too. Enjoy...
