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.

Living with a Grieving Heart
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today we are discussing the topic of grief and our ability to experience it, work through it, and find our passion for living once again. This can be a heavy subject at the best of times, and with our last few years of Covid, and the wars, droughts, and fires people are experiencing with devastation to family, friends, and communities, there is a burden that is carried by all of us.
As always, our podcast is specifically set with the opportunity to find balance and flow for people as they listen to the podcast. If you are not sure you are ready for the topic today, know that we have your best interest in mind and have included ways to open flow and opportunities for transformation and acceptance to happen.
My guest today, Dr. Marianne Bette, has experienced personal loss and supports others with their own loss. She is an example of finding her way through the grieve and learning how to live again. Her latest book: “Living with a Grieving Heart” is an opportunity for her to support your journey as she identifies with and understands the needs of others.
Here is what Dr. Bette offers with her experience:
“By addressing the subject of grief and loss, Bette offers sensitive support and a matter-of-fact view: Grief can make you crazy. It can shut you down. But grief can also crack you open and change you like nothing else. You can become your best self. If you let it, grief can be the transformation of your lifetime."
Bette shares that there is no finish line with grief, but her book offers examples of how to cope and accept the reality that a life has ended. Chapters deal with "Hurtful Things People Say," the struggle of reliving "Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda, If Only...," the many decisions the caregiver must make, and the hopeful "Moving On." We look forward to a deep and direct discussion that helps support each of us on our journey of learning to live, while loss and death can be a part of our journey.
