Facing Dementia: Episode 7
What if overwhelm isn’t the problem… but the message?

In this heartfelt and insightful episode of "Facing Dementia", Dr. Michelle Greenwell welcomes intuitive transformation mentor, author, and podcast host Laurin Wittig for a conversation that reframes overwhelm and procrastination through the lens of whole-person wellness.

So often, we label ourselves as procrastinators, lazy, overwhelmed, or incapable of getting things done. But what if those experiences are actually signals from the body, mind, emotions, and energetic systems asking us to pause, listen, and restore balance?

In this episode, we explore:
✨ Why overwhelm is a whole-system stress response
✨ How procrastination may be a signal—not a flaw
✨ The “Joy Calendar” and why scheduling joy first matters
✨ The difference between forcing action and moving in alignment with timing
✨ BioEnergetic Wellness tools to regulate stress and restore clarity
✨ Tea rituals for emotional support, focus, and energetic movement
✨ Why caregivers and those facing cognitive stress need compassionate self-care

🍵 **Featured Tea Ritual: Mintal ClariTEA – Harmony Blend**
This beautiful tea ritual supports clarity, calm, and forward movement with:
🌿 Peppermint – for momentum, focus, and energetic movement
🌼 Calendula – for clarity, healing, and emotional lightness
🍊 Orange Flowers – for optimism, calm, and gentle uplift

At the Greenwell Center, tea is more than a beverage—it’s a wellness ritual.
