Welcome back to the show! After a brief hiatus, we are back and pumped to bring you SEASON 2. We've got some epic guests and thought-provoking topics coming up for you and it all kicks off with this one:

Are you working in a job, at a career or on a mission?

The difference is huge and on this episode, I'm breaking down how you can tell the difference and begin building your way towards a mission in your life.

With the return to work after COVID on the horizon, it's never been a better time to get clear on what matters to you in a workplace and begin laying your foundations towards infusing your work with a deep sense of meaning and purpose.

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:

- 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't think of a better episode to finish Season 1 of 2020 on.

Don't forget that you can connect with Ami via:

- Her podcast "Nourishing Ami" (seriously, go subscribe... it's amazing)

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"

Welcome to The Wizards of Wellbeing - the series where I get to sit down with and pick the brains of people who are creating absolute magic in the lives of others.

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.

When you take all the roles we usually play in day to day life (employee, partner, parent etc) and combine them under one roof at the same time it can be difficult to navigate them all, let alone actually look after your wellbeing throughout the day.

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.

On this week's episode of 15 minute mindset I'm sharing the concept of "impermanence" and how it can help you savour the good times and stay resilient in the challenging times.

I share how the mantra of "this too shall pass" is particularly beneficial in this uncertain and difficult time we are all living in.

And I also share how a water painting by a Chinese artist helped me embody and appreciate this amazing Buddhist concept of "impermanence"

Welcome to The Wizards of Wellbeing - the series where I get to sit down with and pick the brains of people who are creating absolute magic in the lives of others.

On this episode of the show, we are joined by the incredible Nick Maier, owner & founder of The Youth Academy. Nick lives and breathes personal development and when you hear his story you'll understand why. He has now turned his focus on how he can use his own personal growth to positively impact the lives of the next generation.

During the interview, Nick and I dove into important topics like:

- How fearing failure actually increases the likelihood of failure

- Why living from inspiration is far more valuable than living from fear

- How to be a great leader to children

- And we also answered the most important question of all... "if there is only a little bit of toilet paper left on the roll do you replace it or leave it for the next person to deal with?"

Until the next time we talk:

Be Empowered. Be Exceptional. BU

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 to dive into how Ami is making an impact, starting with herself.

In this episode we talk about:

- Ami's changing relationship with the concept of failure

- How Ami developing herself has helped her positively impact the lives of her children, her clients and those around her

- An incredibly exciting opportunity that has arisen for Ami to positively change lives in another country.
