Untamed & Unfiltered Wellness
When stress, sleep, focus or energy start shifting and the strategies you used to rely on stop working, this podcast helps you understand why and shows you what to do next without spinning your wheels.
Untamed and Unfiltered Wellness is a grounded, no-nonsense podcast for people who want to live well in the real world, busy schedules, demanding jobs, aging bodies and all.
Each episode explores the foundations of holistic living, including:
-Nervous system regulation and stress resilience
-Sleep patterns, recovery, and daily rhythms
-Blood sugar, hydration, and energy stability
-Environmental and lifestyle stressors most people overlook
-Herbal support and somatic practices for sustainable change
This is practical, integrative wellness for real life, not trends, not hacks and not one-size-fits-all advice.
You’ll walk away with clear insights, usable tools, and realistic shifts you can apply immediately so your body and mind feel steadier, more supported, and easier to live in.
Hosted by Jo Swensson, Herbalist and Founder of Olivia Bell.

Better Mornings Start With Knowing This One Thing About Your Body...Your Chronotype
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
There's a version of you that used to be up at 4:45 a.m. for a 5:30 gym class, no problem. And there's a version of you now where that same early hour feels like a personal attack.
In this episode I talk about chronotype, the real, largely genetic reason some of us are wired for mornings and some of us aren't, and why that changes across your life, especially after menopause.
I'll walk you through how to actually find your own chronotype (forget the alarm clock), why the gap between your natural rhythm and your real schedule has a name, and a story from my years around law enforcement about what happens when a body gets pushed completely out of sync for years at a time. This one might explain a lot about why mornings feel the way they feel for you.
Once a month, I host a free guided journaling practice for women whose stress, anxiety, and overthinking are getting in the way of better sleep.
We meet live on Substack at 9PM Eastern. Our next session is August 5. We spend a few minutes getting all the crap that's running through your head onto paper, then I guide you through a short somatic practice to help you wind down for the night.
