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 Songs in our Heart with Ruth Wishengrad

You know when you find a kindred spirit and all your interests are sparked by the interests that are shared by another? My guest today, Ruth Wishengrad, is that kind of kindred spirit. I feel like my feet could just tap a little dance of delight, like Mumbles in the movie Happy Feet. “We have to find our heart song all by ourselves, it’s the song we hear inside that makes us who we truly are.” Even as I say these words they have been etched in my memory since that movie launched. Chatting with Ruth and hearing her story, she supports children young and old to find their heart song and let it sing loud and clear.
Ruth Wishengrad has a master’s in education and has been teaching and training others for over 25 years, helping children and young at heart to clearly and effectively express and share their thoughts and feelings. How does she do this? In ways that are dear to my own heart – through fun, song, infectious melodies, rhythms, and movement. She even plays with puppets – a true kindred spirit for me! You may have listened to the Puppet Power episodes in Season 1. So much can happen when our puppet voices and personalities can shine.
Today we are exploring how to find that heart song and the ways that Ruth can support others in their journey to express who they are and what they really stand for. If you have been holding back your voice, opinion, interests, or true dreams, then the podcast today may inspire you to step forward, think differently, and bring out the you that can shine for others to see and grow from.
