What if joy isn’t something you wait for—but something you practice? In this episode, Cathy “the Laughing Bean Queen” Nesbitt shows how intentional laughter can quickly shift your state when life feels heavy.
This conversation is for anyone feeling stressed, tense, isolated, or emotionally worn down. You’ll learn how laughter supports breath, presence, and resilience—without pretending everything is fine—and how to start a simple daily “dose” at home.
