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.

Plug the Energy Leaks That Are Draining Your Life
Burnout doesn’t start with a breakdown. It starts with the little signs we miss: irritability, cravings, forgetfulness, bad sleep, zoning out mid-conversation. That’s your stress pattern taking the wheel.
In this episode, I’m walking you through the four primary nervous system responses, fight, flight, freeze, and fawn, and how they show up in everyday life. We’ll talk about how these patterns get wired into us, and how you can start catching them before they run your life.
What we cover:
- How to identify your personal stress response
- Why we default to the same reaction over and over
- Early signs you’re headed toward burnout
- Small, doable ways to regulate in real time
If you’ve been powering through, telling yourself you’ll slow down “after this week,” this episode is your wake-up call. I’m breaking down the sneaky signs of burnout (especially the high-functioning kind), why strong, capable people are often the first to ignore them, and how to start protecting your energy before your body forces you to stop.
No guilt. No “just meditate more” nonsense. Just practical, real-life strategies you can start today.
