From Worms to Wellness: Cathy Nesbitt on Composting, Laughter, and Living with Joy

What do worms, laughter yoga, and living without a cell phone all have in common? Meet Cathy Nesbitt, also known as the Cathy Crawley Laughing Being Queen. Based in Toronto, Cathy is an eco-entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, laughter yoga leader, and advocate for sustainable living and mental wellness.

In this lively conversation, Adrienne and Cathy dive into Cathy’s 23-year journey as founder of Cathy’s Crawly Composters, where she champions indoor composting with worms—turning kitchen scraps into “black gold” for the garden. Cathy shares her adventures giving not one, but two TEDx talks, her discovery of laughter yoga as a “cardiovascular exercise,” and her passion for bringing joy into communities, classrooms, and even senior centers.

From worms with five hearts to the contagious power of laughter, Cathy reminds us that joy, sustainability, and wellness are more connected than we realize. She even takes Adrienne on a tour of her websites—introducing worm workshops, laughter clubs, and her advocacy for low-tech living.

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.360
There we are, we're live. Look who I have, I

00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:08.820
have a blonde Adrienne. Cathy reminds me of me

00:00:08.820 --> 00:00:13.300
with all her energy and I love it. So Cathy Nesbitt

00:00:13.300 --> 00:00:15.960
who just connected with me on LinkedIn. So I

00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:18.780
am really excited, amazing LinkedIn. So I will

00:00:18.780 --> 00:00:22.940
get that in the notes of Cathy. Introduce yourself.

00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:27.879
Adrienne, hello. I'm so excited to be here. I'm

00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:30.280
Cathy Nesbitt. I'm located in Toronto, Canada.

00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:33.920
And yeah, my working title is Cathy Crawley Laughing

00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:36.920
Being Queen. Simple solutions for today's challenges.

00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:39.859
So Cathy, I know a couple of things about you.

00:00:39.859 --> 00:00:42.640
I know that you're brave. I know that you're

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:46.380
bold. You're beautiful. You don't mind going

00:00:46.380 --> 00:00:49.439
live, which is like incredible because that means

00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:53.500
that you really know your know your stuff. So

00:00:53.630 --> 00:00:56.630
So let's start with the one that always is interesting

00:00:56.630 --> 00:01:01.390
to me, TEDx, two times. What was that like and

00:01:01.390 --> 00:01:05.370
what were you speaking about? Thank you. I was

00:01:05.370 --> 00:01:10.090
speaking about worms. And yes, and so worms in

00:01:10.090 --> 00:01:13.310
the house. It was about Fermi composting. And

00:01:13.310 --> 00:01:16.170
the experience was amazing. It was the first

00:01:16.170 --> 00:01:19.069
time was with high school students. They put

00:01:19.069 --> 00:01:22.829
on this whole TEDx event, which was really inspiring

00:01:22.829 --> 00:01:27.209
to see the youth stepping up to present a speaking

00:01:27.209 --> 00:01:30.829
event. That was exciting. And the second one

00:01:30.829 --> 00:01:34.650
was for a women's TEDx talk. So all the it was

00:01:34.650 --> 00:01:39.870
all women. And it was amazing. I don't prep.

00:01:39.909 --> 00:01:42.329
This is the perfect show for me because I don't

00:01:42.329 --> 00:01:45.269
prepare when I talk. But when you do a TEDx talk,

00:01:45.409 --> 00:01:47.450
you have a certain amount of time. You want to

00:01:47.450 --> 00:01:50.090
get your points out and you want to be on point

00:01:50.090 --> 00:01:55.150
and not rambly. So I was out of my comfort zone

00:01:55.150 --> 00:01:58.900
because I don't prep. I'm able to just arrive

00:01:58.900 --> 00:02:02.159
and just say what I know. And I'm divinely guided,

00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:05.900
so I trust. Yeah, it was a great experience.

00:02:05.939 --> 00:02:09.240
I really loved it. Cathy, hold on for one second.

00:02:09.259 --> 00:02:11.599
I'm just going to turn off the dishwasher. But

00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:14.020
I just want to say, I'm so glad I'm wearing shorts

00:02:14.020 --> 00:02:20.360
right now. I actually have like this on. What

00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:26.389
fun. Musical interlude. La, la, la, la, la. So

00:02:26.389 --> 00:02:30.349
it's funny, I tried out for a TEDx and I didn't

00:02:30.349 --> 00:02:32.069
have it all together. I was thinking I wanted

00:02:32.069 --> 00:02:35.169
to talk about when you don't have a filter, you

00:02:35.169 --> 00:02:37.409
know, when you're speaking. So I didn't make

00:02:37.409 --> 00:02:40.629
it, but I did do Daytona Beach has elevate and

00:02:40.629 --> 00:02:43.969
it was 20 slides and you had to know it in the

00:02:43.969 --> 00:02:46.430
course of those like. In the five minutes or

00:02:46.430 --> 00:02:49.770
the 20 slides 15 seconds per slide, but I also

00:02:49.770 --> 00:02:53.590
not a preparer when I go to speak I find it messes

00:02:53.590 --> 00:02:56.229
me up more because now I gotta I gotta memorize

00:02:56.229 --> 00:02:58.050
But I already know what I'm talking about. So

00:02:58.050 --> 00:03:01.569
why do I need to memorize it? So anyways worms.

00:03:01.650 --> 00:03:09.629
I'm so confused So yeah, it's indoor composting

00:03:09.629 --> 00:03:14.180
with worms Oh, oh, I did. I house sat for a woman.

00:03:14.379 --> 00:03:16.080
My daughter and I did a five month road trip

00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:18.919
in 2022 and I sat for a woman and she had it

00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:20.620
in her basement. And she's like, you could go

00:03:20.620 --> 00:03:22.219
down there and play with the worms. And I'm like,

00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:24.719
first of all, her basement was scary. So I'm

00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.659
like not going to sell her. But is that where

00:03:27.659 --> 00:03:30.039
do you, where do you keep your worms? I have

00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.199
mine in the kitchen. So it's convenient for feeding

00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:35.439
them my scraps. It really does make sense. And

00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.370
it's in its own bin. Exactly. They're not free

00:03:38.370 --> 00:03:41.870
range. And then you say then they really do.

00:03:42.069 --> 00:03:44.550
That's so interesting to me. How long does it

00:03:44.550 --> 00:03:47.669
take actually for like the like when you like

00:03:47.669 --> 00:03:49.990
you had a salad and you had some vegetables and

00:03:49.990 --> 00:03:51.889
all the stocks and stuff go in your compost?

00:03:52.349 --> 00:03:56.469
What does that take? There's a lot of factors

00:03:56.469 --> 00:03:59.810
that determine how long particle size, how small

00:03:59.810 --> 00:04:03.009
you chop up the pieces, temperature, moisture.

00:04:03.740 --> 00:04:06.560
As a guideline, it's about three to five months

00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:10.699
from set up to harvest. Wow. Wow. I think that's

00:04:10.699 --> 00:04:15.060
great. On the worm question, are you then taking

00:04:15.060 --> 00:04:17.379
that compost and then like using it for your

00:04:17.379 --> 00:04:21.959
garden? It's black gold. It's nutrient rich fertilizer.

00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:25.620
So we don't need to use chemicals. I'm sure maybe

00:04:25.620 --> 00:04:28.620
for industrial farming you do, but. For the home

00:04:28.620 --> 00:04:31.279
gardener, we could create our own beautiful soil

00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.220
and add it back in. What we're doing now, we

00:04:34.220 --> 00:04:37.879
put our scraps in the garbage. We treat it like

00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:41.660
trash, so therefore it is. But it really is a

00:04:41.660 --> 00:04:44.779
resource, something that we can use and how nature

00:04:44.779 --> 00:04:49.040
uses it to build the soil. Well, I think I'm

00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:50.779
pretty good. So I'm not putting in the trash.

00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:53.420
I'm putting in the garbage disposal. Go to the

00:04:53.420 --> 00:04:56.730
garbage disposal. That's better, right? I'm just

00:04:56.730 --> 00:05:00.889
kidding. I know that's worse. I don't even know

00:05:00.889 --> 00:05:02.589
what to say. I love the idea, and I love that

00:05:02.589 --> 00:05:04.350
you could do it in your home. As I said, she

00:05:04.350 --> 00:05:05.730
had it in the basement, which I didn't love.

00:05:06.329 --> 00:05:08.829
And we traveled to all these different homes,

00:05:09.250 --> 00:05:11.490
and she was the only one that has it. So it's

00:05:11.490 --> 00:05:13.709
still, even though it's talked about, it's still

00:05:13.709 --> 00:05:16.089
kind of new, right? The whole concept. It is.

00:05:16.209 --> 00:05:18.149
You know what? It's the worms, Adrienne. It's

00:05:18.149 --> 00:05:21.209
the worms. People think the concept is great.

00:05:21.310 --> 00:05:23.370
They're like, oh, that's a great idea. Oh, I

00:05:23.370 --> 00:05:25.529
don't want to have worms in the house. And I

00:05:25.529 --> 00:05:28.370
have a psych degree. So I'm fascinated by people.

00:05:28.709 --> 00:05:32.730
And I think that people might have been traumatized

00:05:32.730 --> 00:05:36.470
as children after a rainy day or a fishing incident,

00:05:36.550 --> 00:05:39.290
the green goo that comes out of the worm. If

00:05:39.290 --> 00:05:41.430
you were traumatized as a child, you're not looking

00:05:41.430 --> 00:05:44.579
to that as an adult as a solution. Oh, come on,

00:05:44.660 --> 00:05:47.040
Kathy. I know that. You out there and you out

00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:49.620
there and you out there. You cut the worms in

00:05:49.620 --> 00:05:54.220
half to see what would happen. They were the

00:05:54.220 --> 00:05:55.980
thing that you could play with. Mom and Dad,

00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:57.319
I don't have any friends in the neighborhood,

00:05:57.500 --> 00:06:01.319
but I got a bunch of worms today. Check your

00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:05.019
pockets before you do the laundry, Mom. Yeah,

00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:06.699
I used to play with them, but it's always had

00:06:06.699 --> 00:06:08.639
a stick and it was far away from me. I don't

00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:12.410
know why. That's so weird. Okay, so I love that

00:06:12.410 --> 00:06:14.629
you spoke about that. And then are you planning

00:06:14.629 --> 00:06:19.550
another TEDx? Well, that's a great question.

00:06:19.589 --> 00:06:21.949
If I did, it would be about laughter and laughter

00:06:21.949 --> 00:06:24.730
wellness. I love that. Okay, so let's go into

00:06:24.730 --> 00:06:27.629
laughter wellness, voiceover actor. So what does

00:06:27.629 --> 00:06:30.449
that mean? Actually, guys, I'm looking at the

00:06:30.449 --> 00:06:33.790
LinkedIn. I put that in the description right

00:06:33.790 --> 00:06:36.569
now. So I'm kind of just... The prep, the prep

00:06:36.569 --> 00:06:38.470
has no prep, but I love this. I want to know

00:06:38.470 --> 00:06:40.829
everything. So laughter, wellness, voiceover

00:06:40.829 --> 00:06:44.750
actor. So laughter, wellness, laughter, laughter,

00:06:45.129 --> 00:06:47.350
yoga came to me. It's the 23rd anniversary of

00:06:47.350 --> 00:06:50.990
my worm composting business. I started in 2002.

00:06:51.629 --> 00:06:55.230
Wow. It blows my mind when I think about how

00:06:55.230 --> 00:06:58.269
long, how long you sell. So you, so what does

00:06:58.269 --> 00:07:01.230
that mean? Like your business? So someone goes

00:07:01.230 --> 00:07:03.810
online and they buy the starter, the starter.

00:07:04.009 --> 00:07:06.639
Exactly. That's right, or I do worm workshops.

00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:11.019
I go into schools and and set them up with worms

00:07:11.019 --> 00:07:16.420
Yeah, so in 2012 10 years into my worm mission

00:07:16.420 --> 00:07:19.480
One more person said ew worms in the house, and

00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:21.839
I'd heard it hundreds of times. I wasn't listening

00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.759
I'm like la la la la la no you need this, but

00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:26.180
people don't buy what they need they buy what

00:07:26.180 --> 00:07:29.339
they want And they didn't want what I was vlogging

00:07:29.339 --> 00:07:34.329
and And I heard at that time in 2012, I felt

00:07:34.329 --> 00:07:37.470
it. I questioned everything. And I was like,

00:07:37.490 --> 00:07:40.629
oh my gosh, this is so hard. What do I do? And

00:07:40.629 --> 00:07:43.009
the very next day, I was introduced to laughter

00:07:43.009 --> 00:07:47.250
yoga. There's no accident. Everything happens

00:07:47.250 --> 00:07:50.449
for a reason. And I was like, laughter yoga,

00:07:50.490 --> 00:07:53.990
what is that? I don't even do yoga. So laughter

00:07:53.990 --> 00:07:56.910
yoga is not doing yoga and laughing. It's laughing

00:07:56.910 --> 00:08:00.529
as a cardiovascular exercise. Laughter is the

00:08:00.529 --> 00:08:03.980
best medicine. So wait, so is it a comedian?

00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.980
Is a yoga instructor being funny? Or is there

00:08:07.980 --> 00:08:11.540
like, instead of music, it's comedy being streamed?

00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.279
Oh, great questions. It's not doing yoga and

00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.899
laughing. It's not jokes or comedy. Because two

00:08:18.899 --> 00:08:21.680
people walking somewhere, it's not funny for

00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.860
those two people. So this is just little games

00:08:24.860 --> 00:08:27.360
to inspire the laughter. It's literally just

00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:30.420
laughing. But for those that are in their head

00:08:30.420 --> 00:08:32.620
and like oh you want me to laugh with no stimulus.

00:08:32.779 --> 00:08:35.600
Oh, what do I do? I don't know what to do So

00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:37.600
there's little games. There's clapping when we're

00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:40.340
clapping. We're clapping palm to palm We're activating

00:08:40.340 --> 00:08:43.679
meridians and the rhythm is one two one two three

00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:49.440
and the words are ho ho ha ha ha Oh my god, so

00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:52.500
we are you doing yoga moves or they know No.

00:08:52.740 --> 00:08:56.279
So it's a word yoga to the laughter that makes

00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:00.220
it. So it's laughter yoga. And so it's laughter

00:09:00.220 --> 00:09:02.799
yoga because it started in India by a medical

00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:05.820
doctor. His wife is a yoga teacher. So they're

00:09:05.820 --> 00:09:09.120
the co -founders. The yoga part of laughter yoga

00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:12.080
is the practice of the laughter and the deep

00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:14.440
diaphragmatic breathing. When we're laughing,

00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:18.059
we're exhaling. Ha ha ha ha ha. So you have to

00:09:18.409 --> 00:09:21.350
take a nice deep breath in so you can continue

00:09:21.350 --> 00:09:25.129
laughing and so there's so many pieces to laughter

00:09:25.129 --> 00:09:28.590
yoga it's it's a built -in thing that forces

00:09:28.590 --> 00:09:32.370
us to breathe deep we don't have to think okay

00:09:32.370 --> 00:09:34.169
breathe in through my nose breathe out through

00:09:34.169 --> 00:09:36.690
my mouth hold it all those things we just we

00:09:36.690 --> 00:09:40.610
just breathe deep naturally and when we're laughing

00:09:40.610 --> 00:09:43.649
we're secreting all the happy chemicals dopamine

00:09:44.950 --> 00:09:47.909
oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins, the love

00:09:47.909 --> 00:09:50.970
drugs versus cortisol and adrenaline and all

00:09:50.970 --> 00:09:53.730
the stress hormones. So I have this question.

00:09:53.789 --> 00:09:57.259
It's kind of burning inside me. I get, like I

00:09:57.259 --> 00:09:59.879
grew up, my parents were always laughing and

00:09:59.879 --> 00:10:02.360
making jokes and they were funny and they actually

00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:04.740
left a toy museum as their legacy in Cheshire,

00:10:04.740 --> 00:10:07.440
Connecticut. That's how I love toys and laughter.

00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:09.940
And I know that there are times when my kids

00:10:09.940 --> 00:10:12.600
are like, can you stop for five minutes and stop

00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:15.419
being funny? Like stop always trying to make

00:10:15.419 --> 00:10:17.600
a joke out of everything. So I have learned like.

00:10:17.870 --> 00:10:20.830
to recognize, OK, these are times when I can't.

00:10:20.830 --> 00:10:23.690
But it does tend to slip out. So I'm already

00:10:23.690 --> 00:10:25.789
naturally kind of have that humor in me. But

00:10:25.789 --> 00:10:27.990
what about those that don't? There are some people

00:10:27.990 --> 00:10:30.870
that really find humor very difficult. They're

00:10:30.870 --> 00:10:33.850
very serious. You may know them out there. They

00:10:33.850 --> 00:10:35.909
may be your cowpen. No, that's like an old joke,

00:10:36.029 --> 00:10:37.690
right? The cowpens don't ever laugh. I know a

00:10:37.690 --> 00:10:41.029
couple that are really funny. But does it work

00:10:41.029 --> 00:10:45.929
for someone who actually doesn't find humor in

00:10:45.929 --> 00:10:49.169
humor? Yes, because it's not jokes or comedy

00:10:49.169 --> 00:10:51.809
it totally is not humor and we're not against

00:10:51.809 --> 00:10:55.149
humor It's just that humor is cultural you have

00:10:55.149 --> 00:10:58.190
to have some kind of comprehension of what is

00:10:58.190 --> 00:11:01.129
being said So this is wonderful for people that

00:11:01.129 --> 00:11:03.269
are in their head. It might take a little bit

00:11:03.269 --> 00:11:07.519
longer for them to Get into the laughter because

00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:09.320
it's getting out of your head. It's like, what

00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:12.220
is happening here? I can't laugh without stimulus.

00:11:12.700 --> 00:11:14.980
And people will say, Kathy, it's so serious.

00:11:15.019 --> 00:11:17.919
There's so many things going on. There's war,

00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.080
there's famine, things are so expensive. I'm

00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:21.799
never gonna have a house, blah, blah, blah, all

00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:25.340
the things. I say, we have to laugh because of

00:11:25.340 --> 00:11:28.759
all those things. We must laugh because when

00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:30.759
we're stressed, we're not breathing properly.

00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:34.580
We're secreting the stress chemicals and we're

00:11:34.580 --> 00:11:38.549
very unhappy. So laughter is the opposite of

00:11:38.549 --> 00:11:41.090
stress. What we say to those that are in their

00:11:41.090 --> 00:11:44.250
head and very, even like folks that are depressed

00:11:44.250 --> 00:11:46.789
or anxious or frustrated where they're like,

00:11:47.190 --> 00:11:50.409
I can't even get out of my house. Good. Well,

00:11:50.409 --> 00:11:52.909
not good, but there's laughter clubs online.

00:11:53.470 --> 00:11:55.289
You just zoom in, you don't have to leave your

00:11:55.289 --> 00:11:59.570
house. And just being in the energy of laughter.

00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:02.980
Depression is down here laughter's up here. It's

00:12:02.980 --> 00:12:06.120
just a different energy. So you come to the club

00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:08.700
Maybe you don't feel like laughing. So you put

00:12:08.700 --> 00:12:12.120
a smile on Changes everything changes your face

00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:14.720
first of all, but then your brain says oh my

00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:17.379
gosh, I must be happy I'm smiling so you start

00:12:17.379 --> 00:12:19.759
secreting those love drugs. You had a giggle.

00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:23.559
Ha ha ha It's not real. It's made up right? I

00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:28.539
just ha ha ha ha ha ha I said right ho ho and

00:12:28.539 --> 00:12:35.000
ha ha ha those those Sounds are move our diaphragm

00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.139
Wow Right so those are the happy sounds and when

00:12:39.139 --> 00:12:42.240
we say those sounds Right our brain says oh my

00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:45.059
gosh. I'm happy start secreting the look so we

00:12:45.059 --> 00:12:47.679
so our body doesn't know the difference between

00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:51.120
real and Imagined laughter or real or fake laughter

00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:55.070
whatever we want to call it our brain does Our

00:12:55.070 --> 00:12:57.929
brain does that's the ego going. What are you

00:12:57.929 --> 00:13:00.269
doing? You look ridiculous? You don't want to

00:13:00.269 --> 00:13:02.049
look ridiculous. Stop laughing, right? So then

00:13:02.049 --> 00:13:05.070
we get in all we get all self -conscious So what

00:13:05.070 --> 00:13:07.409
we do as the laughter leader the laughter teachers

00:13:07.409 --> 00:13:11.929
we say allow yourself permission Allow yourself

00:13:11.929 --> 00:13:14.190
permission to play full on just for this one

00:13:14.190 --> 00:13:18.049
time. Just try it just see Imagine if we could

00:13:18.049 --> 00:13:22.399
laugh and feel better What a cool gift So like

00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:24.860
what so let's take so my son just had a baby.

00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:27.600
Yeah, she's so cute So she's like eight months

00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:31.519
old now and he will do like uh She just loves

00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:33.840
that and just just like she'll make the noise

00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:38.059
or why is it like um myself included if I hear

00:13:38.059 --> 00:13:42.279
like you know, in a movie or if I'm in the bathroom

00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:43.940
and the person in the next stall does a little

00:13:43.940 --> 00:13:47.059
doopy -doop -doop, I like start giggling to myself,

00:13:47.340 --> 00:13:50.220
right? But like all the Disney movies and all

00:13:50.220 --> 00:13:52.659
the Disney shows, they always added a little

00:13:52.659 --> 00:13:55.700
boop and like so, and that, and the kids just

00:13:55.700 --> 00:13:58.159
crack up. I mean, they can't get enough of just

00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.840
our natural sounds. When do we, do we lose that

00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:03.559
somewhere along the way? Cause I know there's

00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:05.740
still the kid in me that just will giggle at

00:14:05.740 --> 00:14:11.480
anything. Right. It's hilarious. Life has suppressed

00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:16.840
laughter. And it started with the Greeks. It

00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:21.059
started with Plato and Aristotle. The more educated

00:14:21.059 --> 00:14:23.320
you were, the less you laughed because it was

00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:26.820
looked upon as frivolous. And I believe that

00:14:26.820 --> 00:14:29.480
that's still in our DNA today, that we're still

00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:32.740
like, oh, we got to be serious, right? If we're

00:14:32.740 --> 00:14:36.879
laughing, we're not taken serious. And so I so

00:14:37.019 --> 00:14:40.320
I'm hoping that we can shift that because laughter

00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:43.580
just frees us. It just helps us to connect on

00:14:43.580 --> 00:14:46.779
a deeper level. There's something called mirror

00:14:46.779 --> 00:14:49.639
neurons. Have you heard of mirror neurons? So

00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:52.480
sometimes if you smile at somebody on the street,

00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:55.240
they will smile back. Or if you see somebody

00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:58.379
sad, maybe you feel sad, too. That's the mirror

00:14:58.379 --> 00:15:02.980
neurons. Very few mammals have it. Humans, apes,

00:15:03.139 --> 00:15:07.799
some birds have it. So that that helps us it's

00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:10.559
that's the contagion of the laughter or the sadness

00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:13.000
or whatever it is where it's the group think

00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:16.440
so when we're together in a group and we're laughing

00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:19.019
you can't control that group if people are laughing

00:15:19.019 --> 00:15:22.419
full on okay take your places everyone we're

00:15:22.419 --> 00:15:26.500
gonna get started you gotta wait till it like

00:15:26.500 --> 00:15:29.860
forget it you're not getting them back oh my

00:15:29.860 --> 00:15:32.539
god so when i see little kids i always look at

00:15:32.539 --> 00:15:37.470
them and i go And then they just look at me and

00:15:37.470 --> 00:15:39.529
then they kind of not sure and then they'll start

00:15:39.529 --> 00:15:41.429
staring at me and then I'll get a smile and then

00:15:41.429 --> 00:15:43.669
I'm done. And then I leave them for dry. I'm

00:15:43.669 --> 00:15:47.149
like, okay, you did your job. But like, I find

00:15:47.149 --> 00:15:48.870
that you're right. You're right when you smile

00:15:48.870 --> 00:15:52.529
people and that's all we really need is to smile

00:15:52.529 --> 00:15:55.960
even if you are. not saying anything back, a

00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:58.039
smile does. Actually, I found that out in China

00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:00.559
when I took my daughter to China. We were on

00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.200
the subway and the other she was sitting next

00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:05.240
to a girl and they just started looking at me

00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:07.000
and smiling. And then they were looking at me

00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.419
laughing. And I thought, OK, I know I'm the butt

00:16:10.419 --> 00:16:12.299
of their joke, but I'm OK with that because they

00:16:12.299 --> 00:16:14.840
are actually communicating together. That's all

00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:18.379
they had between them was the smiling and me

00:16:18.379 --> 00:16:21.279
as a joke. And I thought, well, that's that is

00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:25.220
language, right? Mm -hmm, right it is. It's a

00:16:25.220 --> 00:16:29.679
communication on a very deep level Smiling laughter

00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:32.919
that is the universal language. We don't need

00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:35.980
to understand each other. We can just look we

00:16:35.980 --> 00:16:39.399
Exchange a smile. We know we like okay. I see

00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:43.700
you and it can change somebody's life It really

00:16:43.700 --> 00:16:46.059
can I totally get that I love that I love that.

00:16:46.179 --> 00:16:49.580
Okay, so I've got the worm advocate entrepreneur

00:16:49.580 --> 00:16:52.220
and we talked about that Is there anything else

00:16:52.220 --> 00:16:54.600
we should know like so what is your website?

00:16:54.620 --> 00:16:56.720

I started doing this and I'm like, I love sharing

00:17:25.619 --> 00:17:28.380
the screen because it's so much fun to see. Oh

00:17:28.380 --> 00:17:32.980
my gosh. First of all, look, look you guys. Look

00:17:32.980 --> 00:17:35.940
at the worm. Actually though, worms are one of

00:17:35.940 --> 00:17:37.839
the first and easy things that we could draw

00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.680
and they were always so funny. Okay, so you do

00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:43.619
a weekly zoom. So I did want to bring up to you

00:17:43.619 --> 00:17:49.619
that, that it's chattersocial .io. I think you

00:17:49.619 --> 00:17:53.579
would be amazing. Chattersocial, C -H -A -T -T

00:17:53.579 --> 00:17:58.019
-E -R, social .io. Get the app for your Android,

00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:00.880

I love my iPhone. So get the app, it's free.

00:18:06.589 --> 00:18:09.990

time or even the cusp when you come on, you will

00:18:20.190 --> 00:18:23.150
see communities. And you could develop your own

00:18:23.150 --> 00:18:25.569
community for this and then share that information.

00:18:25.569 --> 00:18:28.029
And then you could do another community for your

00:18:28.029 --> 00:18:30.170
laughter yoga. I think you would be fantastic.

00:18:30.609 --> 00:18:32.910
Like I've met so many people on the app, but

00:18:32.910 --> 00:18:35.349
nobody's doing what you're doing. So I think

00:18:35.349 --> 00:18:37.990
this is fantastic. But there are a lot of all

00:18:37.990 --> 00:18:40.589
business professionals are, you know, hang out

00:18:40.589 --> 00:18:42.990
and chatter social kind of. Are you familiar

00:18:42.990 --> 00:18:46.890
used like clubhouse? I've I've heard of clubhouse.

00:18:47.289 --> 00:18:49.369
Something about me. I don't have a cell phone.

00:18:49.690 --> 00:18:55.029
Oh, oh, if you have an iPad. No, I have a laptop.

00:18:55.349 --> 00:18:58.289
Oh, thank you. I don't know. I have a cell phone.

00:18:58.309 --> 00:19:01.609
Wait, no, a black bear flip phone, an old phone.

00:19:01.650 --> 00:19:04.609
I have a landline attached to the wall. Oh, no,

00:19:04.609 --> 00:19:08.690
I do have a cordless one. Kathy is living back

00:19:08.690 --> 00:19:11.410
in the 1950s with her worms and her laughter.

00:19:11.890 --> 00:19:16.529
I have never in my life. Well, OK. Okay, I like

00:19:16.529 --> 00:19:18.490
it though. I like that you don't have a, I mean,

00:19:53.049 --> 00:19:56.490
that. Beautiful. See Cathy's on Matchmaker and

00:19:56.490 --> 00:19:59.569
podcast guest. Beautiful. That's where we met.

00:20:00.170 --> 00:20:05.170
Attention, look at that. Oh what a brilliant

00:20:05.170 --> 00:20:08.990
idea Cathy. Tell me about that sponsoring a worm

00:20:08.990 --> 00:20:12.039
bin in the school. How is that going? It's going

00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:15.279
great. So that's this adopt a worm bin program

00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.119
is for parents or community members anybody really

00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:23.539
that wants to pay for and sponsor a workshop

00:20:23.539 --> 00:20:26.380
in a local school and it's you know, some schools

00:20:26.380 --> 00:20:29.240
don't some schools have less funding than other

00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:32.779
schools and I mean, some have to do fundraising

00:20:32.779 --> 00:20:35.819
just for books. So it's pretty ridiculous. It's

00:20:35.819 --> 00:20:37.880
still parents and community groups. I love that.

00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:41.220
So PTO. Okay. Click here to crawl home. Click

00:20:41.220 --> 00:20:44.660
here to buy the, Oh, let's buy the worms. So

00:20:44.660 --> 00:20:50.440
worms are so weird. Okay. The worms have five

00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:52.960
hearts each. Don't you love that? Yeah. It's

00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:55.740
a beautiful thing. Is that why if we cut a little

00:20:55.740 --> 00:20:59.039
bit off, it still stays alive? Well, it doesn't

00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:00.779
stay alive. It only stays alive for a little

00:21:00.779 --> 00:21:04.339
bit until it stops staying alive. Oh Yeah, stop

00:21:04.339 --> 00:21:10.500
cutting your worms Unless you're fishing right

00:21:10.500 --> 00:21:12.779
and you want more bait that's fine, too. Oh,

00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:14.539
yeah. Yeah. No, no. No. Yeah. Yeah. I do touch

00:21:14.539 --> 00:21:17.079
the worms Okay, this is really guys. Come on

00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:20.900
here. Okay, so why are the European night crawlers

00:21:20.900 --> 00:21:25.869
sold out? so yeah, just demand and We're transitioning

00:21:25.869 --> 00:21:28.130
at this time. I'm still doing worm workshops

00:21:28.130 --> 00:21:31.230
and talking about the worms. I'm transitioning

00:21:31.230 --> 00:21:36.769
into laughter wellness since 2020. We really

00:21:36.769 --> 00:21:40.230
do have a global mental health tsunami, and I

00:21:40.230 --> 00:21:42.950
just want people to feel good. Because I really

00:21:42.950 --> 00:21:44.750
want people to care about the planet, but it's

00:21:44.750 --> 00:21:46.690
not possible when you're in a mental crisis.

00:21:47.470 --> 00:21:50.890
No, that's a nice combination. Wow, look at all

00:21:50.890 --> 00:21:54.519
this. Oh, is this your book? This is a connection

00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:58.480
book this there's 365 authors in that book everyone

00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:02.319
had one day and Did a quote it's it's a beautiful

00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:05.559
book and they do one every year the art of connection

00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:08.680
That is very cool. And that's a look for Kathy's

00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:12.019
page laughter is the fastest happiness hack I

00:22:12.019 --> 00:22:14.200
love that in you're helping to sell the book.

00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:17.079
That's me. This isn't really fun. This is fun

00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:20.039
You really took this with your marketing. Let's

00:22:20.039 --> 00:22:24.130
do wormy Fashion I love it. So you find this

00:22:24.130 --> 00:22:27.230
and then you sell the gift certificate see or

00:22:27.230 --> 00:22:31.509
get Wow I'm impressed. Oh, what's tell me about

00:22:31.509 --> 00:22:35.190
the coffee? Where did coffee come in? Wait? This

00:22:35.190 --> 00:22:37.849
is a drinker for the to drink. It's a this is

00:22:37.849 --> 00:22:41.910
to drink. This is has reishi mushroom in it And

00:22:41.910 --> 00:22:44.769
I've been drinking the coffee since so the coffee

00:22:44.769 --> 00:22:48.650
with the reishi mushroom Makes the coffee alkaline

00:22:48.650 --> 00:22:52.180
most coffee is acidic So maybe we get the jitters.

00:22:52.619 --> 00:22:55.819
This is alkaline coffee. So we can, I mean, you

00:22:55.819 --> 00:22:59.220
still maybe not drink too many coffees, but it

00:22:59.220 --> 00:23:02.500
calms your system rather than wiring you up.

00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:05.440
And reishi mushroom is an adaptogen, meaning

00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:08.180
it goes in your body where your body needs it.

00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:11.559
Oh my gosh. Okay, wait, wait, wait. So let me

00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:15.359
make a really crazy guess that you can then take

00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:18.359
the grounds and put them in your compost. You

00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:21.279
absolutely can. Yes, we absolutely can. That's

00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:26.579
awesome. Wait, so, so 30. So what does that mean

00:23:26.579 --> 00:23:29.740
per carton? So this, this coffee is actually

00:23:29.740 --> 00:23:31.920
instant coffee. So there are little sachets.

00:23:32.140 --> 00:23:35.579
So there's 30, 30 packets or little sachets,

00:23:35.579 --> 00:23:39.000
which makes it really convenient because when

00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:41.579
you drink this coffee, it's so good. It's so

00:23:41.579 --> 00:23:44.740
smooth. You don't want to drink the acidic junk

00:23:44.740 --> 00:23:46.960
coffee that you get at the coffee shop anymore.

00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:50.279
because it's so tasty. So you can if you go to

00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:52.180
a restaurant you can take your little packet

00:23:52.180 --> 00:23:55.200
and then just order hot water. I mean even if

00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:56.900
they want to charge you for the hot water that's

00:23:56.900 --> 00:24:00.420
fine or if you go camping or on a cruise you

00:24:00.420 --> 00:24:04.460
can always have your yummy nutrient rich healthy

00:24:04.460 --> 00:24:06.420
coffee with you. Love this and it gives you a

00:24:06.420 --> 00:24:09.339
little energy. Well it does because it's got

00:24:09.339 --> 00:24:12.559
the caffeine but it's um it's really it's really

00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:16.049
healthy coffee. Okay. And then, um, so I'm in,

00:24:16.049 --> 00:24:19.390
I'm in Florida. So any issues with ordering it

00:24:19.390 --> 00:24:22.250
online? Not at all. No, I didn't think so. All

00:24:22.250 --> 00:24:24.450
right. Awesome. So order now let's just check

00:24:24.450 --> 00:24:28.250
this out, make sure everything's working. I love

00:24:28.250 --> 00:24:31.250
fingers crossed. Yes, please. Right. You never

00:24:31.250 --> 00:24:34.769
know. Okay. And then this is a page for it. I

00:24:34.769 --> 00:24:39.720
love it. Okay. Very cool. All right. And then

00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:44.579
we've got, wow. Oh, this is why you don't have

00:24:44.579 --> 00:24:47.740
a cell phone because of the electromagnetic fields.

00:24:47.900 --> 00:24:51.200
Is that correct? Well, it's part of it. It's

00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:54.279
also, you know, the cell phone industry is very

00:24:54.279 --> 00:24:58.380
toxic in the minerals that they need. All the

00:24:58.380 --> 00:25:01.339
metals and all the elements in a cell phone need

00:25:01.339 --> 00:25:05.759
to be mined. And so it's really detrimental to

00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:12.160
our planet. And since 2012, when smart technology

00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:16.039
came out, now we're upgrading our technology

00:25:16.039 --> 00:25:20.240
much more often, and we discard a lot. It's just

00:25:20.240 --> 00:25:23.799
very toxic industry, and it's part of my brand

00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:27.940
now. So this EMF protector, these stickers, you

00:25:27.940 --> 00:25:30.759
put them on your cell phone, on your computer,

00:25:31.220 --> 00:25:34.940
anything that's emanating frequency, and it will

00:25:34.940 --> 00:25:37.160
help to mitigate. And there's there's a pendant

00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:40.640
that you can wear as well. Oh, this one right

00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:43.759
here. Wow. I have seen these at like, like the

00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:47.799
flea markets and stuff. Love that you live your

00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:52.319
your like you live what you do. OK, I find this

00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:55.859
fascinating. Now, guys, follow me. We're going

00:25:55.859 --> 00:25:59.700

00:27:23.609 --> 00:27:28.009
2020 right in the midst of the thing of that

00:27:28.009 --> 00:27:30.950
cuckoo time we were in because I needed something

00:27:30.950 --> 00:27:33.970
I needed before 2020. I was doing between 100

00:27:33.970 --> 00:27:39.200
and 200 events. Every year. And then I got shut

00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:42.460

no, I can't. I can't. Anyways, so I just, I'll

00:28:22.869 --> 00:28:26.109
just wait until. Okay. All right. Hopefully I'll

00:28:26.109 --> 00:28:29.559
get emails. I like emails. I don't know if you

00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:31.819
do actually. I don't know. I'm not sure if that's

00:28:31.819 --> 00:28:34.039
set up or not. I should look at that. Oh yeah

00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:36.480
you can set it up in under the registration and

00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:40.000
you can see who's signed up and then you can

00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:42.900
have it set up to do reminders and all of that.

00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:45.779
That's what I need to do. I don't think it does

00:28:45.779 --> 00:28:50.779
that right now. Now what is this? Let's oh, this

00:28:50.779 --> 00:28:54.200
is um so my wheelhouse with laughter I really

00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:56.900
love working with folks with special needs and

00:28:56.900 --> 00:29:01.519
seniors So L 'Arche is an organization started

00:29:01.519 --> 00:29:07.059
in France. I believe and It's a it's a day program

00:29:07.059 --> 00:29:11.720
that that helps people with varying mental illnesses

00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:17.839
To live a more like just to live a more what

00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:20.779
do you say just it just helps them live daily

00:29:20.779 --> 00:29:24.799
life you know being part of society and doing

00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:27.039
laughter with folks with special needs is really

00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:29.400
wonderful because it's just laughing it's not

00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:32.519
jokes or comedy it just helps us come together

00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:36.380
and helps us to reduce our anxiety and stress

00:29:36.650 --> 00:29:39.289
you know, if we're in an uncomfortable situation,

00:29:39.710 --> 00:29:41.970
laughter just breaks the tension. That's beautiful.

00:29:42.170 --> 00:29:44.170
So there's a focus to this, like you're, you're

00:29:44.170 --> 00:29:46.630
listening, you're paying attention to what you're

00:29:46.630 --> 00:29:49.410
saying. So any, all the stresses are out the

00:29:49.410 --> 00:29:52.130

It's beautiful. By the way, do you want a little

00:33:22.289 --> 00:33:24.390
LinkedIn tip? Do you do you do your own LinkedIn?

00:33:24.670 --> 00:33:27.109
I do. I'll share this with you. Hopefully nobody's

00:33:27.109 --> 00:33:31.710
listening. So we're listening. So we're says

00:33:31.710 --> 00:33:33.789
she her you can keep that. But if you didn't

00:33:33.789 --> 00:33:36.190
want to or you're like, what else can I do? If

00:33:36.190 --> 00:33:38.890
you go to that area where pronouns and go down,

00:33:39.109 --> 00:33:42.690
it'll say custom. And then you'll have 25 characters

00:33:42.690 --> 00:33:45.000
that you could add in there. So if you go back

00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:47.279
and look at mine, you'll see, like, I have something.

00:33:47.500 --> 00:33:50.079
So you can actually change that to a custom.

00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:52.339
So it could be whatever you want to do. It could

00:33:52.339 --> 00:33:55.160
be wormy. It could be laughter. It could be anything

00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:58.400
you can. Oh, thank you. Or ask me about my worms.

00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:02.980
I love that. Oh, thank you for that. No, congratulations.

00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:05.319
