Building Happiness

In this episode of the Building Happiness Podcast, Balraj Singh talks through many different personal experiences and his personal spin on happiness. It was great to meet Balraj at a training weekend and even in the short time we've known each other I've truly learned a lot. Balraj goes to Aston University and has taken an active role in his studies by being a member of Enactus and also the Vice President of Student Activities.  Balraj is such a genuine, positive guy to be around and I'm really grateful he took the time to come onto the podcast!  

Hope you guys enjoy this episode and feel free to connect with Balraj on Linkedin!

In this episode of the Building Happiness Podcast, I sit down with Claire Tidmarsh-Brown, a mental health development worker. As someone who currently works at Loughborough University it was very surprising to find out that Claire struggled quite a lot when she was at university. It was inspiring to get her point of view on happiness and how spending time doing something she hated pushed her to live a much happier life.

Huge thanks for coming onto the podcast and make you check her Instagram out where she makes and sells creative stuff online!
