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 this is the one that Declan was most starstruck for!
