What if joy isn't something you wait for but something you actively choose?

Meet Cat Googe, aka The Joy Queen – Laughter Yogi, Reiki Healer, and the woman who's made it her mission to help you reclaim your energy, self-belief and yes, your JOY, no matter what life throws at you.

In this conversation, we're getting real about what joy actually means (spoiler: it's not toxic positivity), how to find lightness in the heaviest moments, and why laughter might be the most underrated healing tool we have. Cat breaks down the magic of laughter yoga, the physiological benefits of a good giggle, and how intention and gratitude can completely shift your energy.

We're diving into manifestation (with action, not just vibes), choosing joy while holding grief, and why sharing our stories creates the deepest connections. Plus, Cat shares how she went from struggling with her own identity to claiming the title of Joy Queen, and how you can start choosing joy as your superpower too.

This episode will leave you feeling lighter, braver, and ready to celebrate who you are. Because joy? It's not a luxury. It's your birthright.

Expect laughter, realness, and a reminder that when you shift your energy, you shift everything.
