I’m Cat Googe – The Joy Queen
I see you.
You know there’s more in you than you’re currently living.
You’re done waiting for the perfect moment.
And somewhere deep down you already know…joy isn’t something you find.
It’s something you rediscover.
I’m here to help you remember who you really are. And to help you Live Your 365 – fully, joyfully and on purpose.

The 60 minutes that changed everything
For over 20 years I stood at the front of a classroom. At first I absolutely loved teaching. But somewhere around year ten the frustration crept in. The system felt heavy. A quiet voice kept whispering: there is more for me than this.
So I started searching. Mindfulness. Relaxation techniques. Meditation. I wove what I could into my work and my life. It helped. But it wasn’t it.
Then in 2018, at a staff wellbeing day, I walked into a laughter yoga session almost on a whim.
Sixty minutes later my whole life had changed direction.
It wasn’t just fun. It was a full body awakening. Something cracked open in me that I hadn’t even realised was closed. I walked straight up to the facilitator afterwards and said:
“I need to be on your next training.”
That’s what laughter yoga does. It doesn’t just make you feel better in the moment. It shifts something at a cellular level. It bypasses the overthinking, the self-doubt, the stories you’ve been telling yourself for years and gets straight to the truth of who you already are.
It’s like a homecoming. A celebration of yourself.
I got certified in February 2019. And I’ve never looked back.
Going all in
I started showing up – local events, community spaces, anywhere that would have me. Then COVID hit and I took everything online.
During that strange surreal time I came across a video of Joe Wicks talking about his “ten year overnight success.” And something in me just knew.
I was here to do for laughter and joy what Joe Wicks had done for fitness.
I handed my notice in at the start of 2021.
Weeks later, my dad died suddenly of a heart attack.
I’ll never know if I’d have found the courage to leave if it had happened before I’d already decided to take the leap. What I do know is that grief strips everything back to what actually matters.
And joy – real, embodied, permission-giving joy – mattered more than I ever knew.
I left teaching in July 2021 and went all in.
What happened next
Since then I’ve brought laughter yoga to iconic places like Glastonbury, Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place Festival, Mind Body Spirit, The Big Retreat and BBC Radio 2 – where Fearne Cotton described my session live on air as “a brilliant release and so contagious.“
I’ve transformed team energy at corporates such as Siemens, Unilever and The LEGO Group and worked with organisations across the UK and internationally.
And I’ve held space for thousands of people ready to stop waiting and start truly living their 365.
Not because I had it all figured out.
But because I kept saying yes to the thing that lit me up and trusted it would lead somewhere.
It always does.
This isn’t about becoming a better version of yourself. You’re already here. It’s about coming home to yourself.
Most personal development works from the neck up. We think, analyse and set intentions and then the same old patterns come back.
Laughter yoga works differently.
It works in the body. It releases what thinking can’t reach. It creates real physiological shifts: in your nervous system, your energy, your sense of what’s possible.
I’ve seen it change people in 60 minutes.
Combined with coaching, NLP and energy work it creates the kind of transformation that talking about your problems alone never could.
YOU are your own best medicine.
LAUGHTER is the vessel.
Three foundational pieces…one powerful journey.
Self Love
You have to learn to fall deeply in love with yourself and get comfortable with owning that. Not in a fluffy way. In a real, radical, this-is-who-I-am way. This is where everything starts.
Self Belief
You have to learn to choose yourself. Stop waiting for someone or something else to validate you. The only permission you’ve ever needed is your own.
Inner Joy
You don’t have to have everything figured out to feel joy. But you do have to love yourself and believe in yourself first. Joy isn’t the starting point, it’s what becomes available when you do the foundational work.
Whether you lead a team, a business, a family or simply yourself, this work changes how you show up in every room you walk into.
These are the foundational pieces of The Joy SHIFT Framework; the methodology that underpins everything I do. In the body, not just the mind.
Who I’m here for
You know you’re here to create change. You care deeply – about people, about the world, about showing up fully. You’ve tried going it alone. You’ve done the courses, read the books, listened to the podcasts.
And still find yourself back in the same loop.
You’ve already done some of the work. You know what you’re capable of. Now you’re ready for the container that matches that.
You don’t need more information. You need a community that gets it. A space holder who’s lived it. A methodology that works at a level deeper than words.
You’re ready to stop waiting. You’re ready to remember. You’re ready to Live Your 365.
If that’s you, you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.
