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.
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.

Why You Should Get Excited About Dirt
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I fell down a YouTube rabbit hole about Florida landscaping and came out the other side having learned about something called therapeutic horticulture.
Turns out getting your hands in the dirt is backed by an entire field of research, used with veterans, stroke survivors and people in psychiatric care.
In this episode I break down what therapeutic horticulture actually is, why it works and why now (right as fall finally starts giving us relief from the heat) is the perfect time to start planning what you want to grow. No science lecture, I promise. Just dirt, a little humor and a nudge to get outside.
