Untamed & Unfiltered Wellness
If your stress, sleep, or hormones have shifted and nothing you used to do is working anymore, this is where we get honest about why and what to do next. We deal in real solutions here.
Untamed and Unfiltered Wellness is a podcast for women noticing changes in energy, sleep patterns, mood, recovery, or stress tolerance and wanting to understand what the body is communicating.
Each week, we break down:
- Stress and nervous system regulation
- Sleep changes and sleep support that actually works
- Cortisol, blood sugar, and hydration patterns
- Perimenopause and hormone transitions
- Herbal strategies for a steadier baseline
This isn’t surface-level wellness. Real bodies. Real responsibilities. Real stress loads.
You’ll leave each episode with something you can actually use...practical guidance and realistic shifts that help your body feel more predictable, supported and steady.
Hosted by Jo Swensson, Herbalist and Holistic Lifestyle Health Coach.

When Stress Isn’t Just “Normal” Anymore: How to Tell If It's Burning You Out
If you’ve been telling yourself “I’m just stressed, everyone is,” this episode is your wake-up call (and permission slip) to stop pretending that makes it okay.
We’ve normalized being stressed out like it’s some rite of passage into adulthood. But when does everyday stress cross the line into something that’s quietly wrecking your health?
In this episode, we’re breaking down the difference between acute and chronic stress, why it matters, what it’s doing to your body, and how to stop ignoring the signals your nervous system is screaming at you.
We’ll walk through:
- The three types of stress: eustress, acute, and chronic
- How stress hijacks your body, even when it’s “just” your inbox
- Why “just relax” is the most unhelpful advice ever
- Two easy days from my 7-Day Stress Reset Checklist to help you feel human again (no sage-burning or cold plunges required)
You’ll also get herbal tips, grounding tools, and mindset shifts that don’t require overhauling your life, just reconnecting with your body.
🎧 Listen now and learn why your stress is valid and how to start responding to it instead of powering through it.
