Can your body tell real laughter from fake laughter?

Laughter Yoga Teacher Cathy Nesbitt says it can't, and that's exactly the point behind laughing on purpose. She also shares how a 24-year worm-composting business led her to Laughter Yoga, and why she believes managing our own joy is one of the most underused tools we have.

In this episode:

• What Laughter Yoga actually is (and the myths it isn't)

• Cathy's path from a 24-year worm-composting business to becoming a certified Laughter Ambassador

• The real science behind why the body can't tell real laughter from fake

• Where laughter yoga shows up: senior care, corporate wellness, cancer treatment, dating, and exam stress

• What it takes to become a certified laughter yoga leader or teacher
