Worms, Laughter & Letting Go of Stress: Cathy Nesbitt on Joy, Composting and Living Differently

  1. Worms, Laughter & Letting Go of Stress: Cathy Nesbitt on Joy, Composting and Living Differently Boom With A Bang! 1:28:40

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.

My podcast is for Boomer Women. A variety of subjects, a variety of viewpoints... and open to suggestions if I'm not covering a topic you want to hear about.
