👥 BONUS episode: Sanjeev Sandhu 👥 On today's 1 in 4 I am talking to my friend Sanj Sandhu not about mental health but about wellbeing. Sanj and I met through the Art of Brilliance's Wellbeing Workout earlier this year where he brilliantly presented the 8 week transformative programme. Sanj's own story of discovering wellbeing was so inspiring that I really wanted him to come on and share more about it. #1in4 #1in4mentalhealth #mentalhealth #mentalhealthpodcast #mentalhealthmatters #wellness #wellbeing #mentalwellness #happiness #positivity #magicmonday #beingbrilliant #artofbrill #howtobeawellbeing #2percenters #happinessrevolution #endthestigma
