In June 2019 The Festival Of Happiness came to Birmingham.Around a thousand people were treated to a day of inspirational speakers and practical ways to boost those happiness levels.It's a not for profit event with all the speakers appearing for free and all money made going to Shonette's charity Spreading The HappinessThis series of special podcasts are recordings of the day, the talks, interviews with some the speakers and even a catch up with beneficiaries of the charity.So if you were there you can relive the event, if you missed the festival you can get a flavour of the day.
