She is the founder of Cathy’s Crawly Composters (since 2002), Cathy’s Sprouters, and Cathy’s Laughter Club, and was appointed Laughter Ambassador by Dr. Madan Kataria, the founder of Laughter Yoga.

Cathy has spent over two decades teaching people simple, practical ways to feel better, reduce stress, and live more sustainably — through indoor worm composting, growing sprouts, and intentional laughter.

In this uplifting and practical conversation, Cathy shares:

• How laughter yoga works (and why you don’t need jokes to benefit)

• The science behind laughing for no reason and the “DOSE” of happy hormones

• Why worms and composting matter for both the planet and your well-being

• Easy ways to grow sprouts at home, even in small spaces

• Simple daily habits that shift stress into joy

• Encouragement for anyone in their 20s feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from joy
