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 Power of Metaphor in Healing with Linda from The Mindful Migraine
June is Migraine Awareness Month, and throughout this special series on Be Well with Dr. Michelle Greenwell, we're exploring practical tools, inspiring stories, and holistic approaches that can support those living with migraine.
In this episode, Dr. Michelle Greenwell welcomes Linda from The Mindful Migraine, an Australian writer, researcher, and migraine advocate whose personal healing journey led her from experiencing almost daily migraines to finding greater balance through mindfulness, body awareness, and holistic wellness practices.
Linda's unique perspective comes from her doctoral research on metaphors—the language we use to describe our experiences. Together, we explore how phrases like "I'm carrying too much," "I'm drowning," or "healing is an uphill battle" may reveal deeper clues about stress, nervous system regulation, and the healing process itself.
In This Episode:
✨ Linda's personal migraine healing journey
✨ How metaphor shapes our experience of pain and recovery
✨ Choosing healing language that supports rather than exhausts us
✨ The connection between mindset, nervous system regulation, and wellness
✨ Tai Chi practices for reducing tension and supporting balance
✨ Touch for Health insights into common migraine-related tension patterns
✨ Gentle acupressure points for Wood and Kidney Element support
✨ Why healing isn't always about fighting harder
Featured Tea Ritual: Releasing the Warrior
Before the conversation begins, we share a mindful tea ritual featuring Releasing the Warrior from the Cape Breton Tea Company.
This blend invites us to soften the fight and create space for healing.
Affirmation:
"My ability to let the fight go begins the healing process."
Featured herbs include:
🌿 Parsley – supporting renewal, purification, and fresh beginnings
🌿 Coriander – offering clarity, cooling energy, and gentle emotional release
