97: Laughter Yoga AND Worm Composting with Cathy Nesbitt
Oh my gosh, our friend Ande Lyons introduced us, and I was thrilled to get to talk to Cathy Nesbitt of Cathy's Composters about worm composting; I was told she also taught "Laughter Yoga," which I guess made sense, and was very curious about, but when I met Cathy on Zoom, I was instantly sold. Cathy has been teaching worm composting for over 2 decades (her WHY is so inspiring!), and has been teaching Laughter yoga for several years now - she has a weekly Chuckle Club zoom meeting on Tuesday mornings.
I attended one of Cathy's Chuckle Club meetings, and let me tell you how awkward it felt to be silly and make myself laugh (even harder when at work); I didn't realize that it takes practice to let go when we work so hard at staying busy... But laughter really IS the best medicine, and Cathy talks about why that is in this conversation.
As I'm pasting all of these links, I'm laughing, because Cathy told me she doesn't have a cell phone, which sounds weird in 2024, but she doesn't seem to be missing it; she has more links than I do!
I so enjoyed the chance to hang out with Cathy and learn from her. She seems to lead a super maintained, but I have a feeling she values her "down time" just as well...
