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.

Migraine Awareness: Your Migraine Story Matters
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome back to our special Migraine Awareness Month series on Be Well with Dr. Michelle Greenwell, where we explore healing through movement, mindfulness, bioenergetic wellness, and the wisdom already living within us.
In this powerful episode, Dr. Michelle Greenwell is joined by Amber Horrox—author, migraine educator, advocate, and host of the Your Migraine Story Matters podcast.
Amber shares her deeply personal journey of living with migraine for nearly 20 years before experiencing full-time disability in 2018. Through writing, storytelling, self-advocacy, and community, she found a pathway back to herself—and now helps others do the same through her work, publications, and educational programs.
This conversation explores what happens when pain becomes a messenger, when silence gives way to self-trust, and when reclaiming your voice becomes part of reclaiming your health.

What part of your story is waiting to be heard?
Sometimes healing begins with a new treatment.
Sometimes it begins with a new perspective.
And sometimes it begins with telling the truth about your experience and allowing yourself to be witnessed.
