In this special episode of the show, I wanted to be raw, real and honest with you all. Despite having an amazing year with the show expanding into 13 countries and experiencing a 70% growth in listeners I've been feeling disconnected from the show for a few months now. This is why there hasn't been a new episode for over a month and it's also why I've decided to let go of the show for the time being and take a step back. It takes a lot of effort, time and energy to make this show a reality and lately it's felt more like an obligation than a joy. When I sat with this decision I realised it was a green light move (equally scary and exciting) for me to let go. However, this isn't goodbye forever. My intention at this point in time is to take the next few months to reconnect with why I started a podcast in the first place. In that time I'll be exploring the key messages and themes I want to bring back to the show as well as lining up some incredible guests. I'll also be developing a brand new show 'Working Well w

Welcome back to another episode of BU with Declan Edwards. In this 15 minute mindset episode we're actually going to do 2 parts because there's no way we can fit all the juicy goodness into one episode (you may have noticed that this episode is slightly over the 15 minute mark).

These are thoughts that we've personally experienced in our journeys here at BU as well as thoughts that we regularly see our members struggle with at the start of their personal development and wellbeing journeys.

This is, without a doubt, one of our favourite episodes of the BU with Declan Edwards podcast. Where do we even start when it comes to the incredible Dr Hayley Watson: Hayley is a TedX speaker, mental health expert and pioneer in making mental wellbeing proactive and relatable. Her work has seen her positively impact lives in multiple countries around the world and help shape the future of how schools approach the mental and emotional wellbeing of their students. At a young age, Hayley and her family were the victims of a string of bombing attacks - a crime that still has not been solved to this day.  The subsequent trauma and recovery process led Hayley to become particularly passionate about trauma recovery, mental health and emotional wellbeing in children and teenagers.  Throughout this episode, Hayley speaks candidly about her past, opens up about her approach to psychology and shares some exciting visions for the future of mental health on a global scale. Out of all the episodes we've done thi
