Bu With Declan Edwards

I'm so excited to announce that as of mid-February we have THREE new series coming out on the BU with Declan Edwards podcast but in the meantime, I wanted to make sure you had something great to listen to each week. That is why we've decided to release 4 previously unreleased interviews from 2019. In this second episode of our Special Archives, we have Nate, the man formerly known as Nathan, van Dyk. Nate is the Creative Director here at BU and is also a close friend of mine. It was an honour and privilege to sit down with Nate and have him share his story because let me promise you it's a good story. Over the past 6 or so years Nate has gone through a huge personal development journey centred around connecting more deeply with himself, determining who he truly is and creating a life in alignment with that. He is a great example of the importance of healthy self-expression and of being true to yourself. Don't forget that if you want to connect more with Nate, or any in the BU community, you can do so by joini

Australia we need to talk! Did you know that over 50% of Australians are stressed about money?! In fact, money is now one of the biggest causes of stress in the country! To make matters worse up to 38% of Australian households are spending more than they earn and up to 86% of Australians don't know how much their monthly budget is. In a first-world country this shouldn't be the case. Joining me on the podcast today is a good friend of mine, Phil Usher from The Cheeky Investor. In this episode, we dive into how money and wellbeing are linked, why we need to change the conversation around money and of course how you can begin putting yourself in a better position financially.

This week's episode of the show is incredibly exciting to me for two reasons 1. Our guest is not only an Alumni member of BU who I am privileged enough to personally Coach 2. She is also someone who takes what she learns from her own Personal Development and now uses it to help others. Britt Barlow is many things but one thing that stands out consistently to me is her desire to help people live happier and healthier lives. In this episode, Britt goes deep into how anxiety was a massive part of her life for 15 years and she shares how she hopes the approaches to anxiety and wellbeing as a whole will change. Britt also shares the one message she wishes every single woman on the planet could embody (and it's powerful!).

We're often asked at BU what the difference is between psychology, psychotherapy, counselling and coaching are. Our belief is that each approach serves people differently depending on where they're at in their wellbeing and personal development journey. They all have value and the key is to ensure the right approach is used with the right people at the right time. This is a key component of Stacey Clarke's story. When Stacey first connected with BU she had already been doing amazing work with a counsellor for years. However, she was reaching the point where she felt counselling was no longer helping her grow and began to think that maybe it was no longer the best approach for her. Since then Stacey has completed our 6 month Confidence & Purpose Coaching program, enrolled in our Alumni Program and is now completing her 12 month Impact & Leadership Coaching program to learn how to make a positive impact in the lives of those around her. Over that time Stacey has grown in leaps and bounds but has a

Personal development can often be glorified by social media. The truth is it's not always upbeat seminars, exciting podcasts and an abundance of unicorns. Personal development is often damn hard work. Nobody knows that more than this week's guest, Dainis Purins. Over the past few years, Dainis has been on a personal development journey that saw him lose everything that he hinged his self-worth on. As a result, he was forced to rediscover, and rebuild himself from the core. I'm fortunate enough to call Dainis a personal friend, mentor and previous client of mine. I speak from the heart when I say that this man's story of personal growth is an absolute inspiration and one not to be missed. If you've ever thought personal development was easy, or you've found yourself stuck in the growing pains that come with personal development then definitely check this episode out.

If you feel overwhelmed, stressed or exhausted regularly. And if you just want to feel like there's more time in your day than this is definitely the episode for you.

But too often the fitness industry prioritises physical health at the detriment and expense of mental and emotional health.
