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.

The Heart of Performing with Colin MacLeod
You know those jitters you get just before a presentation or pitching an idea? How about as a performer, waiting backstage for your name or your music to begin. We all know these as butterflies, nervousness, anxiety, or fear if it is strong enough.
Some performers look for ‘the butterflies’ to empower them with a great performance, but not everyone sees their appearance as a gentle push. In fact, many people shy away from public speaking, group presentations, or even speaking up when more than two people are present.
Growing up we were told to just ignore the nervous feeling and it would disappear once we got started. But, that wasn’t always true. On many occasions, we can feel the nerves shake our knees, the blood drain from our arms, and our minds and our thoughts disappear.
Today’s episode explores how I have learned to support myself and others with tools in bioenergetic wellness to calm fears, feel their power of support, and thrive because of them. I am joined by Colin MacLeod from Scotland, who has played fiddle for the Movement Made Easy classes and shared a couple of special podcasts in Season 2. Today we are discussing how to get to the Heart of the Performance, past our egocentric drive to perform, and find the heart-centered space that we refer to as “the moment” or “the sweet spot.”
Season 3 we are devoting to the transformational process that happens when people reach into their authentic selves and create magic. Our season has several publications this year, and we hope they inspire and empower you to consider living your true heart's desire with the love and compassion for others at the forefront. Thank you for joining us.
