Live Your Best Laugh with Cat Googe

🌻What’s Joy Got To Do With It? (Everything Actually) S4 E10

Bringing you this impromptu episode on the back of a wave of trolling and negative comments I received recently on a reel sharing laughter yoga at a festival. Instead of shrinking back, I am choosing to shout louder using my voice to champion powerful female voices and amplify my mission of Global Joy. I dive into what it really means to choose joy on purpose, especially when faced with criticism. I explore why being visible and using your voice is a radical act of self leadership and why self-validation matters so much more than seeking approval from others. I share how healing, self-trust and compassion can help us stay grounded when the world tries to shake us. Most of all, I celebrate the power of laughter, community and courage, especially when things get tough, because these are the moments that remind us joy is both our anchor and our superpower. If you’ve ever held yourself back from sharing your voice, or felt the sting of criticism when you do, this episode is your invitation to reflect on what’s stopping you and to reclaim the joy and power that comes from being fully seen.

We dive into the power of tiny, intentional moments - like silent discos, nature walks and listening to a favourite song - to bring us back to ourselves, even when the schedule feels relentless. Sally and I get honest about the guilt that can creep in when we prioritise our own needs and why self-care isn’t selfish, but self-FULL and absolutely essential.  You’ll hear practical ways to plan for joy in your day and how making joy non-negotiable can ripple out to benefit the whole family. If you’re longing for permission to choose yourself and put a little more fun into your routine, this one’s for you…no guilt required.
