What do worms, sprouts, and laughter have in common?
More than you might think.
In this lively and surprisingly thoughtful conversation, Agnes talks with Cathy Nesbitt — founder of Cathy’s Crawly Composters — about composting, food, resilience, stress, and why joy may be one of the most overlooked Health practices of all. What begins as a conversation about worms becomes a much deeper discussion about slowing down, reconnecting to nature, and creating a life that actually feels nourishing.
In This Episode:
- Why Cathy believes worms are part of the future of food Security and waste management
- How laughter Yoga transformed her resilience and wellbeing
- The connection between stress, modern life, and disconnection from joy
- Why “being too sensitive” may actually be a gift
- The surprising health benefits of sprouts and live foods
- What midlife women can learn about saying yes to curiosity and small shifts
Sometimes the next chapter doesn’t begin with a dramatic reinvention — sometimes it begins with paying attention to what brings us back to life.

I’ve probably done most of the things you expect a woman my age to have done: married and divorced; three children; variety of jobs over the years including a couple of home-based businesses and, finally, a pretty good career; gave up that career (and home and life) to move and take care of a dementing mother; adult daughter moved back home with a baby; financial struggles; sucker-punched by the post-2007 economy. You tell a similar story.
