The Peace Whisperer: Finding Peace Within as a Pathway to Migraine Healing

June 20, 2026

As we conclude our Migraine Awareness Month podcast series, I find myself reflecting on a question that extends far beyond migraines:

What if healing begins with peace?

Not peace as a destination.

Not peace as something we earn after the pain is gone.

But peace as a practice.

A way of being.

A relationship we cultivate with ourselves, even in the midst of challenge.

In our final episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Karen Lee Cohen, known affectionately as the Peace Whisperer. Karen is the founder of the Let’s Be Peace Movement, author of Let’s Be Peace: 20 Unique Paths to Healing Yourself and Spreading Peace in the World, and an advocate for helping people discover that inner peace may be one of the most powerful healing tools available to us.

Her message was both simple and profound, check out our discussion on the Be Well with Dr Michelle Greenwell Podcast

Creativity for Brain Health: Why Movement, Senses, and Frequency Matter

December 15, 2025

What if creativity is not just an expression of imagination, but a biological necessity for brain health? In this episode of Facing Dementia, we explore the science behind creativity and why the brain cannot function optimally without movement, sensory input, and energetic flow. From the role of the hips and shoulders in supporting cognitive clarity, to the power of music, colour, and frequency in accessing memory and emotion, this conversation reframes creativity as a vital tool for healthy aging. Through mindful rituals, movement, and sensory engagement, creativity becomes a pathway to resilience, presence, and empowered living — even in the face of cognitive change.
