Stay Wild Ep. #12 with Cathy Riva

Hey little humans, I’m Norma Jean and welcome to Stay Wild! This is episode 12 with today’s guest, Cathy Riva. Cathy is an entrepreneur mom, a party planning pro, a mindfulness teacher, and a TV personality who wants to bring joy into every person’s life. She is the creator of Joy Boxes, which is filled with delightful items that will bring joy into your daily lives. By planning several parties, she felt the joy in people and wanted to extend this joy and make it more consistent. As a child, a kind lady did something special for her that sparked the desire within her to spread JOY. “A selfless Samaritan who did this one act of kindness that changed my life. It set me in a forward motion to pay that forward.” On this episode, she talks about the inspiration behind Joy Boxes and how she came up with the idea. She reveals what is inside these boxes and how they bring joy to people. This episode shows us the bigger picture of what joy is. During her interviews with different successful people, she discovered that joy is not just about happiness, but also the resilience of people to different situations. “Joy Boxes is a little window into what I learned about how to live fuller human being lives.” She also talks about Celebrate Everyday and Mission Be. She encourages people to celebrate everyday and be a human being and not a human doing. She shares some tips on how to make our lives better through mindfulness and how to process our emotions. “I just want to be of service to the world.” Join us in this conversation of intentions, mindfulness, and JOY.
