There is little doubt that TV profile and stylist Erlend Elias Bragstad (38) often have many balls in the air. However, that does not mean that he does not have room for any more.
He can reveal to Dagbladet that he has hijacked a new job after receiving an offer he could not refuse. At the beginning of this month, he started as a project employee in the Stiftelsen Kirkens Bymisjon Tromsø.
– Will take my life back
– Difficult to grow up
Here he will work in a self-confidence project aimed at young people in Tromsø and Kirkenes, which Erlend Elias believes is a declaration of trust in itself.
– I have had my downturns that I have recovered from, I was completely down, but worked hard to become the one I had the goal of becoming, he says, and adds:
– I am also very interested in young people and young adults. There are an incredible number of external factors that make it much harder to grow up now than when I grew up.

The 38-year-old believes that social media can bring a lot of positive things, but that it can also mean that those who are in pain and those who feel left out can get even worse from social media.
– I will help start a gathering place where you can meet and talk. A fantastic opportunity, says Erlend Elias, who adds that the pandemic eventually makes it possible for him to spend a lot of time physically present.
– I am best when I am present, he continues.
– I did not even say goodbye
– Close to my heart
The celebrity stylist will initially be part of the project throughout the year.
– It’s nice to be able to do something that is so close to my heart, at the same time as I can do other things I love. I get the best of both worlds by helping others, he says, and reveals his motto:
“You can not copy others, but you can be inspired.”
