Description

Today, I’m thrilled to share with you an interview with Declan Edwards - a happiness researcher, coach and the founder of BU Happiness College. 

Backed by a Master’s in Applied Positive Psychology and over a decade of hands-on experience, Declan has worked with thousands of individuals and organisations to turn the science of happiness into real, sustainable life change. 

Declan’s mission is to help people build practical skills for lasting happiness, inside and out. 

He’s living proof that you don’t have to sacrifice your wellbeing for success, and that true fulfilment comes from being your whole self, not your perfect one.


In this episode, we dive into:

  • What ‘happiness’ really means 
  • What do we get wrong when it comes to measuring happiness
  • Why perfectionism and people-pleasing often hold us back from feeling truly 
  • Why achieving “that goal” (a job, weight, or milestone) often still leaves you feeling unfulfilled
  • How to start working towards aligned happiness when you feel stuck

...and so much more!


If you’re ready to stop chasing an unattainable version of success and start embracing your whole self, this episode is packed with insights and encouragement to help you get there.
