Spiritual Organizer and Volunteer Advocate | Part 2 | Cathy Perez | A Wise and Happy Life Podcast

In Part 2 of her conversation with host Bob Martin, Cathy Perez opens up about what it means to channel fear and frustration into meaningful action. After years of volunteering, learning, and speaking up for reproductive justice and equity, Cathy shares why she believes “sitting on the couch won’t help you heal.”

This episode explores how activism can be a spiritual practice, how courage is built one small step at a time, and why speaking up matters now more than ever. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, angry, or stuck, Cathy’s story reminds us that purpose is found not just in what we believe, but in what we do.

Highlights:

• "Sitting on the couch is not going to help you get rid of that rage." Cathy explains how turning fear into action leads to healing
• Activism doesn’t have to be big. Even sending an email to a senator counts.
• Being around people who “light you up” builds courage, confidence, and spiritual resilience.

Podcast Phrase:

"Sitting on the couch is not going to help you get rid of that rage." – Cathy Perez
