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: Illness Brain on Vacation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when you take a break… not just from your routine, but from your illness identity?
In this heartfelt and uplifting episode of Facing Dementia, Dr. Michelle Greenwell and Laurin Wittig explore what it means to step away from the constant mental loops of diagnosis, healing protocols, and “what if” thinking — what we call the Illness Brain.
Following Laurin’s recent trip to Hawaii, this conversation is filled with laughter, insight, and powerful realizations about what becomes possible when we allow ourselves to simply be present, connected, and alive.
🌊 In this episode, we explore:
How stepping away from daily stressors helps calm the nervous system.
The science behind rest, relaxation, and “wellness vacations.”
Releasing the “monkey mind” — the constant thoughts, expectations, and pressure to fix or heal.
The importance of not losing yourself in a diagnosis.
How nature, awe, and connection expand identity beyond illness.
Bringing the feeling of peace and presence back into everyday life.
🐬 From swimming in the ocean, to finding whales and turtles, to standing in the presence of volcanic energy and connecting deeply with family — Laurin shares how these moments helped her rediscover herself beyond the diagnosis.
☀️ Tea Ritual Feature:
Bras D’Or Sunset — a blend infused with tangerine and safflower petals, inviting ease, warmth, and connection to building long lasting memories that will continue to shine well past the return to daily life.
✨ Affirmation:
“Put yourself at ease as you center
