Be Well with Dr. Michelle Greenwell
Maximize your self-care plan with practical tools, reflective practices, and energetic insights that help you live, work, and lead with greater vitality. Be Well with Dr. Michelle Greenwell invites you into meaningful conversations that bridge movement, energy medicine, intentional living, and compassionate care.
Dr. Michelle Greenwell—educator, movement specialist, and leader in BioEnergetic Wellness—guides listeners through episodes designed to align intention with action. Each episode offers inspiration and grounded practices you can integrate into daily life, whether at home, in the workplace, or within caregiving and leadership roles.
This season expands the depth of the podcast through special multi-episode trilogies, allowing listeners to explore healing topics more fully. These trilogy series create space to dive deeper into the lived experiences, science, and transformational tools shared by Dr. Greenwell’s guests—supporting real, sustainable change rather than quick fixes.
A monthly featured series with Laurin Wittig brings focused attention to dementia, caregiving, connection, and quality of life. These conversations explore how presence, creativity, movement, nature, and relational awareness can support both those living with dementia and those who walk alongside them. This series is especially meaningful for families, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and communities seeking compassionate, human-centered approaches.
Each month also includes episodes highlighting Dr. Greenwell’s own teachings—drawing from Tai Chi, subtle energy, movement-based self-care, and intention-setting—to support resilience, nervous system regulation, and ease during life’s transitions. These insights are especially supportive for entrepreneurs, caregivers, and professionals experiencing fatigue, overwhelm, or burnout.
A signature element of the podcast is the tea ritual woven into each episode. Sponsored by the Greenwell Center for Holistic Health and the Cape Breton Tea Company, listeners are invited to slow down, sip intentionally, and explore how herbs, affirmations, and mindful pauses can enhance well-being. Featured blends include the Tea with Intention series and Harmony Blends, part of the Building Resiliency program designed to help unwind stress and trauma.

Facing Dementia: Creativity for Brain Health
What if creativity is not a luxury — but a biological and energetic necessity for brain health?
In this month’s episode of Facing Dementia, the fourth in the series, Dr. Michelle Greenwell and Laurin Wittig explore the science, movement wisdom, and energetic foundations of creativity as a vital support for cognitive health and emotional resilience.
🧠 In this episode, we explore:
Research on creativity and its impact on brain health and neuroplasticity
Why the brain cannot function at full capacity without movement of the shoulder seams and hip seams
How hip movement builds and stores vital energy essential for clarity and creativity
The role of music in accessing emotions and memories beyond cognitive recognition
How frequency and colour influence mental health, mood, and functional capacity
The importance of engaging the five senses to embody experience and support memory and presence
🌊 Tea Ritual Feature:
Take the Shore Road from the Cape Breton Tea Company
Featuring blue pea flower, hibiscus, and green tea — a gentle, daily brain-supportive blend that invites mindfulness, presence, and appreciation of the view when we slow down.
✨ Affirmation:
“I am present and mindful of all that I see when I slow down and check out the view.”
This conversation continues Laurin’s journey of discovering supportive practices following a precursor to dementia diagnosis — offering listeners empowering tools that blend science, movement, energy, and lived experience.
