Bu With Declan Edwards

Welcome back to the Wizards of Wellbeing mini-series on the BU with Declan Edwards Podcast. In this mini-series we interview and connect with experts who we feel are making magic in people's lives. On this week's episode of the show we are joined by our good friend, Scott Bidmead. Scott is an entrepreneur, a media personality and a passionate advocate for all things wellbeing and flourishing. In his past, Scott has been the presenter on numerous TV programs, has interviewed celebrities such as Morgan Freeman and Jason Momoa, and has grown a successful PR and Media Company. In this interview though we are stripping back the glitz and glamour to focus more on Scott's personal story. In this interview, we dive into some of the changes he has made over the past couple of years as a result of reconnecting with his vision and sense of purpose. We also discuss concepts such as: What it means to live a good life How to reconnect with yourself when the world is so loud Embracing the idea that you don't have to pi

So you want to be more self confident? Want to improve your self esteem? Want to maximise your ability to trust yourself? These are common Personal Development & Wellbeing goals but a lot of people miss the first fundamental step and that's why it all comes undone. See, it's impossible to be confident in someone you don't know. It's hard to trust someone you don't understand. And this is gap for most people - they don't truly know themselves. In this episode I reveal why you need to start putting down the masks and connecting deeply with yourself if you ever want to experience authentic and deep self confidence.

Throughout this episode we dive into topics such as: The tipping point that led Jamie to begin prioritising her Personal Development & Wellbeing How Coaching has differed from counselling for Jamie And most importantly, how her Personal Development & Wellbeing Journey hasn't just left a positive impact on her life - but how it has also spread a positive ripple effect to those around her.

We cannot believe it's taken this long for us to finally have Ami Rankin on the show. You may already know Ami from instagram (@ami_rankin), from her own podcast (Nourishing Ami) or from the fact that she is our incredible Head of Coaching & Development here at BU. Ami writes and runs half of our Personal Development & Wellbeing Accelerator program and has been making such a profound positive impact on people's lives since she came on board with BU way back in 2017.  But what you may know is that; true to BU's vision of "making an impact, starting with self", Ami's Personal Development & Wellbeing journey started with her being a member of BU. In this episode Ami opens up about: - the tipping point that led her to start her Personal Development & Wellbeing journey - how her habit of repression was just leading to more anxiety and overwhelm - and how she navigated, and continues to navigate, identity shifts caused by huge changes in her life. This is an episode not to be missed, I couldn'

On the season FINALE of 15 Minute Mindset on the BU with Declan Edwards podcast we are talking about MINIMALISM. If you're unfamiliar with minimalism it's essentially a movement and approach to life that focuses on having less material possessions and only keeping things that add value to your life. Having recently taken a more minimalist approach to living I'm excited to share that this week's episode is the first episode I'm recording in our new studio home that my wife and I moved into as a way of decluttering our lives and creating more freedom for ourselves. If you find that you tend to be bogged down by 'stuff' and that you're living a cluttered and busy life then this is definitely a great episode to listen to. For more on minimalism I recommend you check out The Minimalists Website: https://www.theminimalists.com/start/ As well as their TED talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7rewjFNiys And their Netflix Documentary: "Minimalism: A Documentary About Important Things" If you'd like to accelerate y

With all the uncertainty and changes happening in the world at the moment one thing is becoming increasingly clear; it's damn challenging to work from home.

On this episode I share my top 5 tips to help you stay sane whilst working from home. I've personally used these strategies since 2017 and they've worked wonders in my wellbeing, my relationships and my productivity.

Welcome to The Insider Scoop - the series where I sit down with people just like you and ask them to share stories from their Personal Development & Wellbeing Journey. On this episode of the show I'm joined by BU graduate, Ash Murrell.  Ash and I first connected in 2018 and clicked straight away over a shared drive to help people live happier lives. What I could see early on though was that Ash had been so busy looking after everyone else she had forgotten to prioritise herself.  Ash took her first steps and ended up completing one of our coaching programs with our Head of Coaching & Development, Ami Rankin. Now Ash is truly thriving in life and is making an impact, starting with herself. In this show we discuss: - How it's easy for a helper to lose themselves in relationships - The concept of green lights in life (how to identify them and take action on them) - The best & worst wellbeing advice Ash has ever heard And much more.

Ami Assigal is many things. A business owner, a mother, a leader and a changemaker.  But after so long juggling so many roles, and wrestling with a high achiever drive, Ami found herself at a place where she no longer knew who she was, what she wanted or what would fulfil her. She was stressed, anxious and permanently hustling for her worth - never taking the time to slow down and appreciate herself or her life. This is how we first connected with Ami in mid-2019 when she joined the BU movement as part of our Personal Development & Wellbeing Mastery Program. Nowadays Ami is proud of who she is, is ok with slowing down and has a much healthier relationship with her emotional wellbeing. The best part is Ami is still kicking massive goals and achieving great things in her life but now she is doing so from a place of fulfilment and self-love. On this debut episode of The Insider Scoop series, I sit down with Ami for the first time in person to find out more about the journey from her own perspective and
