Today’s episode is full of heart, wisdom, and contagious laughter. Our radiant guest, Cathy Nesbitt, shares her unexpected journey from worm composting to becoming a Laughter Ambassador. She explains how intentional, daily laughter can rewire the brain, soothe the nervous system, boost oxygen to the brain, and flood the body with feel-good hormones—offering a simple yet powerful shift to greater well-being.

We dive into why laughter truly is the best medicine, and how just 10–15 minutes of deep belly laughter each day can elevate your mood, support your health, and shift the way you experience life.

Founded in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria, Laughter Yoga began with a bold mission: to cultivate world peace through the simple, powerful act of laughter. Now practiced in over 120 countries, each bringing its own unique flavor, it has grown into a global movement rooted in connection, presence, and collective joy.

“A day without laughter is a day wasted.” – Charlie Chaplin
