What starts as a conversation about composting quickly becomes something much bigger.

In this episode, Agnes talks with Cathy Nesbitt — founder of Cathy’s Crawly Composters, sprout advocate, and laughter yoga teacher — about food, stress, resilience, joy, and why small daily practices can quietly transform the way we live.

With humour, honesty, and enormous energy, Cathy shares how worms, sprouts, and laughter all became part of a mission to help people reconnect with themselves, each other, and the natural world.

• How Cathy accidentally became a “worm advocate”
• The surprising environmental impact of vermicomposting
• Why connection to nature changes how we care for the world
• The emotional toll of constantly hearing “eww, worms”
• What laughter yoga actually is — and why it works
• How stress has become normalized in modern life
• The importance of slowing down and creating sacred daily rituals
• Why sensitivity, empathy, and caring deeply are strengths — not weaknesses
• Cathy’s thoughts on food, energy, resilience, and healthy aging
• A refreshing conversation about joy that goes far beyond “positive thinking”

This conversation is funny, thoughtful, practical, and unexpectedly moving. It’s also a reminder that meaningful change often starts with very small things — a garden, a laugh, a pause, a willingness to try something new.
