Can Worms, Sprouts & Laughter Change Your Life? with Cathy Nesbitt

Notes from the Edge

What if the secret to a healthier, happier, more sustainable life is hiding in a bin of worms, a jar of sprouts and one really good belly laugh?

Cathy Nesbitt is an award-winning entrepreneur and laughter yoga teacher who has spent more than two decades showing people how worms, sprouts, and laughter can create a healthier, more sustainable life.

In this episode, Cathy and Lisa go from the surprising story behind Cathy’s “worm empire” to why she believes laughter is an essential tool for navigating stress. They talk about turning food waste into “black gold,” growing your own nutrition through sprouts, learning to move toward the weirdness, and what happened when Cathy stopped being a lifelong people pleaser and started giving herself permission to say no.

In this episode:

  • Vermicomposting and turning household waste into healthy soil
  • Why Cathy believes worms matter for sustainability and food security
  • Growing fresh sprouts at home
  • Laughter yoga and nervous-system regulation
  • Why adults need more play and laughter
  • Stress, isolation, and protecting your mental health
  • Recovering from people pleasing
  • Saying no without overexplaining or apologizing
  • Why shame loses power when we stop keeping it silent
  • Choosing simple tools for a healthier, more sustainable life
