#179 Why You’re Not Initiating Anymore (And It’s Not Low Libido, Hormones or Feminine Energy)
He wants you to initiate. You want to feel seen, supported, and safe. Every week I get a DM from a man asking how to get his wife to initiate sex again. And every time I think, are you really ready to hear the answer? MAKE SEX WORTH HAVING This one is for the woman who’s doing it all. The emotional labor. The logistics. The mental load. Desire doesn’t just disappear—it gets buried under exhaustion, disconnection, and power dynamics no one’s talking about. We’re not fixing a sex problem. We’re naming what’s really going on. The invisible weight. The resentment. The conditioning that tells you to be grateful for crumbs. You are not less sexual. You’re done performing. You don’t need to be fixed. You need space to feel safe, centered, and turned the fuck on. Pleasure starts when the pretending stops. Join me for the next round of Pleasure Principles. We start June 25.

#178 Scheduling Sex Isn't The Holy Grail Solution to a Sexless Relationship
I used to be the doctor on national television telling couples to schedule sex. I even wrote about it in my book. But I’ve learned so much since then. Not because scheduling sex is inherently wrong. But for high-functioning women like us, it becomes another setup. Another task. Another way to fail. Scheduled intimacy only works when both partners truly want it. When desire is shared., but when it’s one-sided, it becomes a power play. Another unpaid job. One more thing we have to manage. This is about more than sex. It’s about power. Emotional labor. Invisible dynamics that no one teaches us to name. The same super traits that make you successful are blocking your desire. The overfunctioning. The performance. The pressure to fix what was never yours to fix. Sexless relationships aren’t about frequency. They’re about safety. Intimacy. Capacity. Most women I work with don’t need more structure. They need less. Less to do. Less pressure. More truth. More feeling. More pleasure. Take the Pleasure Path Assessment in the show notes to uncover what’s actually blocking your arousal. Your body isn’t broken. You were just never taught how to do intimacy your way.

#176 Why High-Achieving Women Stop Wanting Sex (And How to Get It Back)
You’ve done everything right. The degrees. The success. The personal growth. But still… You feel nothing. Sex feels like another thing on your to-do list. You’re disconnected, exhausted, and quietly wondering, “What’s wrong with me”? I’m breaking down how Superwoman conditioning and invisible power dynamics kill desire. Why therapy, hormones, and even functional medicine haven’t worked. And why it’s not your fault. Because most women don’t have low libido. They have low safety. We’ll talk about how overfunctioning, medical gaslighting, and the wrong relationship scripts keep high-achieving women burnt out, resentful, and sexually shut down. And what actually works to reconnect with your body, your pleasure, and your truth. If you’re stuck in survival mode and wondering why nothing has worked, this is your invitation to finally understand why.

#175 Why Sex Therapy Doesn’t Work for High-Functioning Women And What Actually Does
You’ve done the therapy. You’ve read the books. You’ve tried to fix it. But if you walked away from couples therapy or sex therapy feeling like you were the problem, this conversation will hit home. I’m exposing the quiet harm that happens when traditional therapy fails to account for power dynamics, emotional labor, and the super traits of high-achieving women. Let’s break it down: Why therapy often blames the over-functioning partner while ignoring the underfunctioner How high-capacity women are mislabeled as controlling, anxious, or codependent Why therapy’s focus on saving the relationship often gaslights women into shrinking What happens when your body, your nervous system, and your libido no longer feel safe How to stop blaming yourself and start naming the real reasons for disconnection This is not about doing more. It’s about finally being seen. Because your libido is not low, your body is just done asking.

#174 - How Fingering Unlocks Female Pleasure, Better Sex, and Lasting Libido
Before the pressure. Before the performance. Before checkbox sex. Pleasure used to come naturally. But somewhere along the way, it got replaced by mental gymnastics, performance-based sex, and trying to earn intimacy instead of receiving it. Jordin Wiggins pulls back the curtain on why fingering, that slow, intentional manual stimulation, is the real key to unlocking female pleasure, better sex, and lasting libido. Drawing on her work with thousands of high-achieving women, she shares: Why the traits that made you successful are the same ones killing your intimacy How performance-based sex leaves women stuck in their heads instead of their bodies Why fingering works better for female arousal than goal-oriented penetrative sex How manual stimulation reignites connection, pleasure, and multiple orgasms You deserve sex that starts with a deep exhale and ends with your legs shaking. Not more performance. Not another box to check. If you are ready to reconnect with your body, master your pleasure, and experience the intimacy you crave, join the Pleasure Principles Group Coaching program starting this June.

#170 - The 'Not All Men' Defense: How Misguided Beliefs Undermine Women's Power
The moment you say, “I’m exhausted,” they say, “but men feel pressure too.” The moment you name abuse, they say, “not all men.” The moment you ask for more, they say, “you’re being too much.” This is not compassion. It’s manipulation. In this searing episode, Dr. Jordin exposes the subtle and sinister ways women are silenced in the name of "balance"—especially in spiritual and coaching spaces that should know better. She calls out the weaponized softness, the faux neutrality, and the gaslighting dressed up as emotional intelligence. Because when women are talking about femicide, sexual trauma, and generations of unpaid labor—and someone derails that conversation to center men’s pain? That’s not a dialogue. That’s erasure. And if you’ve ever walked away from those conversations feeling like your rage made you the problem, this episode is going to feel like coming home. What we’re getting into: The real reason why “men struggle too” is a silencing tactic, not solidarity How high-achieving women are groomed to over-empathize and under-advocate What no one wants to admit about the power imbalance in your relationship This episode is a reclamation of:🩷Your voice.🩷Your anger.🩷Your pleasure.🩷Your unapologetic womanhood. No more bypassing. No more guilt. Just the raw, inconvenient truth—and the support to finally do something with it. If this hits you in the gut, trust it. Forward it to the woman who’s biting her tongue to keep the peace. Share it. And tell the truth—we're not doing silence anymore. Ever thought, “I don’t even know where to start to fix this"? I want you to listen to my private podcast series, The Pleasure Path. A raw, unfiltered series to help you uncover what’s holding you back from the intimacy, connection, and passion you crave.
