Be Well with Dr. Michelle Greenwell

As I have been listening to people over the last few weeks, many have been expressing their fatigue at challenges, how fast time is going by, the wars that are not going to end, and the struggles of inflation etc.  It is a trying time for sure.  So, how do we navigate past these low areas in our world, to find peace, harmony, or joy every day?It was inspiring to know that people were no longer basing their day on the news, but rather were avidly making connections with friends or neighbours and changing habits about listening to what is happening, and making things happen instead.  How can we be motivated to be different, to achieve different, to view differently.  Today Charlene and I are going to talk about inspirations that make us bring the experience of humanity and our planet into our hands and into our hearts. We have an update for you with the Moyo family, and we hope you will grab a cup of tea, maybe even the Mission4Change CommuniTEA, so we are all together, supporting one another while we listen. If you wish to support our mission to help the families in Malawi in famine conditions, please consider sharing with https://www.gofundme.com/f/Stephen-Moyos-Mission4changeIf you would like to purchase TEA to fundraise, and perhaps share with family and friends, you can reach out to Charlene Waines on Facebook for the BC area, and online at capebretontea.ca.Thank you for making a difference for the people in your lives today!Dr. Michelle Greenwell, BA Psych, MSc CAM, Ph.

We all have stories that we carry with us about how we got injured and the repercussions, pain, mobility challenges, mental fatigue etc.  We often refer to ourselves as having a good leg and a bad leg, or having a bad back.  We can take the diagnosis given to us, that may have been resolved, and continue to hold onto being an asthmatic, having arthritis, or suffering from digestive issues.  I am anticipating that just hearing these words can feel heavy and may resonate.My guest today, Dr. Michaela Jones and I have had several discussions around working with clients and students who have built their stories into their lives, and how they cannot escape them.  As much as they attend sessions and participate in programs to get better, their intentions are thwarted by the stories that continue to grip them. Please be assured that we are not talking about belittling the experiences or hardships that someone may have endured or suffered from.  But rather, we are looking at how we can change our narrative for a different outcome than we are currently experiencing.  We want to shed a light on what it means to go beyond our experiences and to idealize the outcome we truly hold in our hearts.    Michaela Jones, ND is a multi-modality, Integrative Holistic Health Specialist blending traditional naturopathy, homeopathy, nutrition, emotion release, and energetic work for the health and wellness of body, mind, and soul.

We all can remember that favourite storybook that we read over and over.  The one our parents could recite in their sleep.  We also can remember the characters and the moral of the story.  These are the lessons we likely still live by today when we are searching for that right answer, or that right choice to move forward. My guest today, Paul Collins, is the owner of Moonlight Puppies, a publishing company that specializes in writing children’s books that demonstrate strong, life-long principles.  With beautiful illustrations and character development, can reach the heart of every child’s imagination as they listen to and learn to read his books.As you consider the programs your children may be involved in, and I am aware of the characters now a part of my grandson’s life, we need to look at the messages those characters are sharing, and how we support our youth to be their very best, one good book at a time.To learn more about purchasing a book, please visit: Moonlightpuppies.comTo see a little bit more about Ellie the Eagle and the Rockefeller Christmas tree, check out the video here:YouTube: @moonlightpuppies2102You can learn more about the "It's in the Cards" deck from https://linktr.ee/itsinthecards, or in the shop at www.dancedebut.comYou can purchase your specialty tea blends at www.capebretontea.caAre you interested in learning more about the storybooks published by Michelle?  Stacey on the Keyboard and Peter on the Drums can be found in the shop, as well as the CD released with Dan the Music Man - Stacey on the Keyboard.  A full creativity kit has been created for teachers to explore more of dance, music, movement and fun with stories.   Dr. Michelle Greenwell, BA Psych, MSc CAM, Ph.

 Our guest today, Yvette Cole, is a kindergarten teacher, and a children’s author.  Celebrating Black History Month, her book: “Harriet’s Dinner Party” is being brought to the forefront for shining a lens on some important history that has been invisible to many of us through the decades.  Her frustration with not being able to show the reality and the richness of black history for North America created her first story.  Our conversation sheds a light on how we can help our youth and our community to grow and understand many aspects of history and connection. To connect with Yvette please check out: https://www.amazon.com/Harriets-Dinne...https://www.booksbyyc.com/product/har...Video Trailer: https://www.booksbyyc.com/harriet-s-d...Illustrator: https://www.janinecarrington.com/abou...Dr. Michelle Greenwell, BA Psych, MSc CAM, Ph.

Today’s podcast is taking a deep dive into guides, transformation and knowledge we can gain from the other side.  I am joined by Laura Hoorweg who is a gifted Intuitive Counselor/Coach and Clairvoyant Medium. She started her spiritual journey at the tender age of 11 in search of God and the Angels, visiting multiple churches and places of worship by herself, even though she was not raised in a spiritual or religious family. She had an extraordinary transcendental out-of-body experience on the top of a cliff at the age of 15 which changed her concept of this world and what lies beyond it forever.Laura also took a pilgrimage to Costa Rica, Peru, Hawaii, and Brazil where she spent time healing and looking towards her next transformation.  Together we will be exploring the idea of transformation and our opportunity to have guidance along the way, but also a way to connect with our guides. If these ideas are new to you, this podcast will have you thinking differently about how you are supported every day.  And, if this is a subject you have spent time in already, then let Laura lead you into new insights and opportunities with her wealth of experience and insights.To learn more about Laura, please go to:Email: laurahoorweg@gmail.comWeb site: www.spiritspeaks2.meFacebook: www.facebook.com/groups/SpiritSpeaksToMeSpiritual Counsellor/Intuitive CoachPsychic MediumTo order your deck of Affirmation for the Body and BioField Deck, find it in the shop under merchandise on page 2 at www.dancedebut.com.Ready to order the perfect tea blend for you?  You can order online at capebretontea.ca.Dr. Michelle Greenwell, BA Psych, MSc CAM, Ph.

I am delighted to be able to watch my parents and my husband’s father thriving in their eighties.  They have embraced their golden years in a way that continues to give to others and to know that their actions, words, and passion to help others make a difference.On my last visit to my parents, it was an unexpected trip and so my dad was not able to find someone to take his paper route that he does in the middle of the night.  He is awake while many of us are asleep, and he sleeps in two stints during the day.  On this visit, he was trying to get in his visiting time while maintaining his sleeping arrangement that works for him.  We were talking about the stress of the hours, but he delights in the quiet time, his chance to see amazing sunrises, and connect with other paper carriers who work the late night shift.  He exclaimed to me that having a purpose and a connection was important and it kept him going. As much as the hours are hard, I agree with him.I should add that both of my parents teach Tai Chi several days a week and are devoted to their club.  They both practice on their own as well to stay sharp and ready for teaching, and they know how to work through their physical challenges of stiff knees and hands, sore backs or neck, as they both have a set routine that they are devoted to.My father-in-law jumped out of a plane for a tandem jump last month to raise a significant amount of money for hospice, and then he went soaring down a zip line.  His work with the Lion’s Club for decades had him involved in the community in many worthwhile projects.  He is still devoted to supporting community events and activities and is one of the most active members at his apartment complex. There are many stories of exuberant seniors who run circles around us younger folk, but I want to dive into some of the insights of today’s guest.  Returning to share more of her wisdom as a medical doctor and the patients she has watched grow old over the years and thrive or wither as they have aged is Dr. Marianne Bette. In our last podcast episode we discussed her book “Living with a Grieving Heart,” and today I am excited to hear about what Marianne has learned across her years helping others. Retired from her practice in Connecticut, Dr. Bette brings us some of the wisdom and stories that are a part of her next book. To learn more about Dr. Bette please go to:Instagram: @bettemariannehttps://emeraldlakebooks.com/living-with-a-grieving-heart/mbette48@gmail.comTo order your Affirmations for the Body and BioField Deck please go to the shop at dancedebut.com.To order the perfect cup of tea for you, please order online at capebretontea.caDr. Michelle Greenwell, BA Psych, MSc CAM, Ph.

We all have our habits and our faults for why we have aches or pains that come and go through our bodies.  How we hold ourselves, sit, walk, and stand all play an important role in the function of our muscles, the organ systems related to the muscles, and the harmony of the systems to work together to create health and wellness through daily healing.If you have been sitting at your desk for long periods, driving in a hunched position repeatedly day after day, or doing repetitive actions with your work that keep your body in an imbalanced pattern, then this podcast is for you.I share details about the emotions related to the neck, center, and lower back.  I also highlight some simple tools to get you started on a plan to release tension in the body and support proper posture.As always, a listen to this podcast creates balance and flow for a healing session while you listen.  The card deck highlighted is:The Affirmations for the Body and BioField deck - www.dancedebut.com, in the shop, merchandise, page 2. The tea highlighted for the show can be found at capebretontea.caAs we begin to close up Season 3, we hope you will go back into the archives and mark some of the gems that we highlighted this year.Have you checked out the YouTube Playlist for Tai Chi Wellness - @michellegreenwell?  Get started with your own Tai Chi practice, and join us online for classes through the week.  You can find more at www.dancedebut.com.  Movement Made Easy and Qi YINtegration.The Cape Breton Tea CompanyCelebrating the tastes and smells found on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada through herbs.Dance Debut Inc.Celebrating lifelong learning of specialized movement programs for well-being.The Greenwell Center for Holistic HealthHarmonizing daily habits for wellbeing through sessions in dance, tai chi, healing arts, and teaDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Over the last few years, we have certainly had our challenging times.  It can be hard to focus on the good things in life or the gifts brought to us as we endeavor to get past the challenges, roadblocks, or misfortunes we have encountered.In Lok Hup, a form of moving meditation that is a part of my Tai Chi practice, we have a movement called “Stop the Cart and Ask for Directions.” That is, do we wish to live a thriving life or are we choosing death and decay.  I appreciate knowing there is a choice at the start of the set, because moving forward with the patterns provides a step forward to living and thriving.How we approach situations and the heart we bring to them are very important.  Today we are looking at the power of gratitude and forgiveness to release stress and tension in our lives.  How can we look at our challenges and celebrate our ability to find the way through?  How can we forgive ourselves and others when choices might not have been the best for everyone?As we bring Charlene Waines into the conversation and her latest activities and support for the Moyo family in Milawi.  We will be exploring perspective and heart-centered living.  We all need a reality check to return to thriving and healing in our living, join us to find the tips and tools that will take you there. To learn more about the resources we talked about, check out:Stephen Moyo Mission4Change Go Fund Me:https://www.gofundme.com/f/Stephen-Moyos-Mission4changeMission4Change CommuniTEA tea:capebretontea.caCharlene Waines on FacebookGracePads.comA special shout out to David Hickey of Crystal Journey for his fantastic concert and connection that contributed to this podcast.  You can learn more here: https://www.crystaljourney.ca/The book mentioned in the podcast is Wild Feminine: Finding Power, Spirit and Joy in the Female Body by Tami Lynn KentLearn more about the movement and healing programs offered by Dr. Michelle Greenwell at https://linktr.ee/greenwellcenterDr. Michelle Greenwell, BA Psych, MSc CAM, Ph.

It is so easy to become a slave to our patterns and habits of living.  Once we find that groove that makes life easy, we fall into it and excel at keeping that space supported.  This can be things like starting the day with a caffeinated beverage to wake us up.  Having a snack from the favourite vendor near work.  Buying a gym membership or signing up for an exercise class, and getting started with it, but not really loving it, and eventually not finishing the membership, then buying a new membership thinking things will change.  Perhaps, walking every morning the same route with the same pace and challenges.  It may seem that I am dishing your favourite wellness habit at the moment, but bear with me. We all have good intentions. My guest today, Michelle Abraham, knows all about patterns and behaviour as she has built a very successful award-winning business in the podcast industry called Amplifyou, North America’s top podcast management company.  She started as a podcaster herself, then branched out to help launch over 100 podcasts to help more people get their message out.  So what does this have to do with habits for wellness?  Michelle’s podcast business, winning Entrepreneur of the Year in 2022,  supports podcasters in the wellness industry.  She knows all about patterns and behaviours as she has heard their messages, and she has also understood their own patterns of intention for success with their podcast, but has realized the right program to make them successful on a grander scale. Our story does not stop there however, as Michelle has also realized there is more to the story for healers and has ventured beyond her initial podcast focus, into High Vibe Visionary’s.  She has changed her own patterns and habits to realize more of what she is truly made of.  Transformation requires grit and intuition, passion, and letting go.  Get ready to learn some incredible ideas from a true inspiration.You can find Michelle Abraham at  https://www.amplifyounetwork.com/Michelle is a super mom to two incredible kids and an avid traveler. She's also the voice behind not one, but two podcasts – Amplifyou and Blissful Parenting.In her latest venture, Michelle is thrilled to introduce "Amplifying Your Voice, Vision & Visibility with Masterminds & Aligned Adventures." This immersive experience is designed to elevate your vibe, align your business, and nourish your soul. Through the PACES framework – Podcasters, Authors, Content Creators, Entrepreneurs, and Speakers – Michelle will delve deep into the three pillars of Visibility, Readiness, Resources, and Relationships. Dr. Michelle Greenwell, BA Psych, MSc CAM, Ph.

Their messages and understanding of the challenges of women in third-world countries are critical for us to know and understand.  If we do not know the challenges faced by women around the world, we cannot stand up and be heard and to find a way for all women and girls to matter and to be thriving.  Also, we need to know how simple it can be for us to take action and to make a difference.  A difference that is bigger than we can imagine. https://www.gofundme.com/f/Stephen-Moyos-Mission4changeMission4Change CommuniTEA blend: capebretontea.ca.Grace Pads: https://www.gracepads.com/Girls Matter: https://girlsmatter.ca/Melissa Deally:  https://linktr.ee/yourguidedhealthjou...To order the Affirmations for the Body and BioField Deck go to the shop at dancedebut.com.  You can also sign up for the Top 8 Stress Releasers.Dr. Michelle Greenwell, BA Psych, MSc CAM, Ph.

We all assume that what we think, and then say, is being heard as we meant it.  But is that true?  How often have you misunderstood what another has said to you?  How often have you been confused with someone who is not responding as you had thought with the way you had offered information?  It seemed like you were clear. I know that when I offer the first Tai Chi class to people, and I say please remember just two things from class today and let the rest go, they nod and then proceed to want to absorb all the information and it leads to overwhelm.  How is it that people hear what they want to hear and do what they want to do regardless of the expertise or support of others? My guest today is Vera Thomas.  Vera has her podcast show, where she explores effective communication and support for others by highlighting her guests.  Vera has another incredible skill, she is trained in mediation and leadership and excels at supporting parents and children as they navigate school, learning, and parenting.  Vera is a Life Coach, International Speaker, Trainer, Mediator, and Poet. 22x bestselling author, Producer of a 2x weekly podcast/radio show “The Vera Thomas Show”.  Her career spans across 40 years working with individuals, companies, non-profit organizations, schools, and churches engaging youth and adults.

For many of us, our true ambition is to live well and with as little medical intervention as possible.  This is a gallant dream that often has curve balls that push us into medicine, medical procedures, and medical advice.  What we know is that we wish for those days when our food is our medicine, where our movements are easy, and our mental health is optimistic and enduring.  When we have them, things are glorious. and we can feel like we are on top of the world, and then suddenly, it is like the rug gets pulled out from under us, and we are treading water and can’t seem to find our footing.  My guest today, Dr. Michaela Jones, knows the reality of our situations personally, and she has dedicated her life to finding the tips and tools to help us find that field of beautiful flowers and possibility, even if we are surrounded by or in front of challenges and obstacles.   Michaela Jones, ND is a multi-modality, Integrative Holistic Health Specialist blending traditional naturopathy, homeopathy, nutrition, emotion release, and energetic work for the health and wellness of body, mind, and soul.

We all remember the words from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs by the wicked queen …” Magic mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all.” The mirror could never lie and thus began our personal infatuation for critiquing ourselves and comparing ourselves to others. Today we are talking about the self-sabotaging talk we all have used to wish away our thick, thin, curly, straight, limp, grey, blond, and brown…hair. As well as our fat, thin, tall, short, big-boned, skeleton, or gaunt features. Our desire to make sure our features are perfect before others take a look and judge.  We also know about looking in the mirror and determining our self-worth by the reflection that stares back that meets or doesn’t meet our own expectations.  We try to stop the negative self-talk, but we can’t help ourselves, for thousands of years the mirror has been a reflection of image, power, and status.  From these reflections of ourselves come our ideas about food, dieting, and thinking our diet is the reason for all our problems.  How did we become so critical, and so self-indulgent in looking past health, happiness, and joy in our efforts to look and think ourselves perfect? Our guest today, Bonnie Giller, is a Registered and Certified Dietitian Nutritionist, Certified Diabetes Care, and Education Specialist, and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. She has her Master of Science degree in Clinical Nutrition and has worked in medical nutrition therapy and counseling for over 35 years.

Tai Chi is often thought of as a martial art turned wellness activity.  It is also considered an exercise like walking, yoga, or stretching. However, it is much more than that.  It is a way of being, a way of living, and a way of supporting the body to be its very best.  We all arrive to class ready to learn the patterns of Tai Chi and think that when we have remembered the pattern we will be done.  Again, we are quickly corrected by this fact as we discover that in order to support the well-being of body, mind, and spirit, we need to engage with transforming our day and our activities to be energy-building and storing.  My guest today is coming to us from Egypt where he has been a fellow organizer of World Tai Chi and Qi Gong events, as well as wellness retreats.  Mohamed Essa is the founder of Chromatic Healing, Chromatic Healing had been developed based Mohamed’s study and experience in BioEnergy, BioPhysics, and BioMathematics ...  He is also a Chinese Medicine Practitioner from China, a Chi Kung Teacher and NLP and Neuro-Semantics Life Coach, teaches holistic coaching, holistic healing, meditation and help people connect into deeper connection with self-empowerment and inner power through his international holistic retreat. The driving force and philosophy of Mohamed Essa is to help people to get in touch with their true selves and inner centers through self-determined goals related to well-being and self-discovery.Mohamed is the Founder of the Blue Lotus Well Being Foundation in Cairo, Egypt a foundation which is specialized in the area of Mind, Body, and Soul wellness.

Do you know when you get that signal to turn around and you notice something you hadn’t realized was there?  Or how about when someone is looking at you, and you know to turn at the same time?  Perhaps you have called a friend at the same time that they were calling you.  These intuitive times are magical.  They are also a sign of our higher consciousness taking action for us without us even really realizing it.My two guests today are going to share more about how they have developed intuition and how it has guided them during some of their toughest times.  Together we are sharing these skills in an upcoming event.  We are preparing for the Year of the Green Dragon in 2024, and we want you to be ready and open to the insights your own intuition will be guiding you with.Marian and I first met at a conference that we were both presenting at.  We both were sharing the power of our card decks, and we were right after one another.  We reached out and connected because of our mutual interest in art and intuition, and we have continued to develop that relationship by adding my colleague, Tanya Levy.Marian meditates and then paints to receive her intuitive messages.  The results of her work have created two card decks full of frequency installations along with affirmations and art.Tanya Levy and I have been colleagues and collaborators for many years.  Tanya is a counsellor at the local community college, and she loves to take photographs and transform them into meaningful messages for others.  Her artwork lines our desks, and walls, and is added to jewelry that she also makes.Tanya and I created the Affirmations for the Body and the BioField deck and book together, and that has taken my dissertation work to new heights and discoveries each week since we created the work almost three years ago. Let’s dive into frequency installations, developing intuition, and following our hearts.  For those who are interested in learning more, please join our special event on November 5th 2023 by checking out the event on Facebook: The KEY to Health with Energy Medicine.  For those wanting to learn more about Michelle's programs please go to www.dancedebut.comFor more information on tea, please check out www.capebretontea.ca.Dr. Michelle Greenwell, BA Psych, MSc CAM, Ph.

The idea of goal setting or having an intention has been the center of focus for the recent programs that I lead.  If you want to get to a destination, you need a road map that indicates how far to get there, and what route to take.  In order to have that information you need to know the absolute destination.  Often this becomes a to-do list, or a bucket list, or an avoidance exercise because we don’t really know what we want, or how we would want to get there.Today with Compassionate Living we are going to explore connection with others with the desire to reach out to help, but we are going to go beyond that.  We are going to talk about listening to the needs of the other, not our wants for the other.  Through this exploration, we can then look at the skills and advantages we may have to achieve the goals they are indicating to us.  Charlene and I have been talking about the Moyo Family in Milawa and what some of their needs have been.  Today we explore how hearing their needs and bringing focus and clarity to their situation has provided us with a means to reach out to others who can help. This is an interesting discussion as we move past emergency or urgency decisions to long-term change and collaboration.We wish to share and acknowledge the support of gracepads.com who recently visited the Moyo family to share the Grace Pad Kits, and to look at sustainable opportunities for the family.  This is one special episode to enjoy.As always, make a cup of tea and relax, and if you haven't tried the Mission4Change CommuniTEA blend, perhaps order yourself some today.  capebretontea.caTo learn more about the card deck, please go to dancedebut.com in the shop.Dr. Michelle Greenwell, BA Psych, MSc CAM, Ph.
