Untamed & Unfiltered Wellness
Welcome to Untamed and Unfiltered Wellness, the podcast where we tear up the rulebook of conventional wellness because one-size-fits-all never fit anyone.
If you're tired no matter how much sleep you get, your mood sucks and is unpredictable or your hormones are running circles around you and you're DONE with wellness advice that works for everyone else, this is your new go-to show.
Each week, I cut through the BS and bring you real talk, holistic strategies and herbal remedies that work in real life, not just on the internet. From natural stress relief and nervous system support to hormone health and sleep relief, I cover the tools that help you feel human again.
I'm not afraid to bust wellness myths, tackle taboo topics and challenge the idea that healing has to look a certain way...because your lifestyle should be a representation of who you ARE, not who you used to be.
If you're ready to reclaim your energy, manage stress naturally and start feeling better using tools that get to the root of what’s really going on, then this podcast was made for you.

Why Can’t I Sleep When I’m Stressed Out? (Ep. 19)
Stress and sleep are like a toxic duo, one feeds the other, leaving you staring at the ceiling at 2 a.m. wondering why your brain won’t shut up. In this episode of Untamed and Unfiltered Wellness, we’re breaking down the science of the stress-sleep cycle:
- How your HPA axis flips the switch and pumps out cortisol
- Why cortisol blocks melatonin and messes with your circadian rhythm
- The role your amygdala and nervous system play in racing thoughts and 3 a.m. wake-ups
- How poor sleep makes you more reactive and stressed the next day (it’s a vicious cycle, but not a hopeless one)
By the end, you’ll finally get why stress hijacks your nights and what awareness can do to crack the cycle open.
This is Part 1 of my three part Stress + Sleep series. In Episode 20, we’ll talk about what you can actually do at night to calm your system and get some rest.
