#191 Why You Only Want Sex on Vacation. How to Get Desire Back at Home

Join us in the Pleasure Principles™ Group Program with Dr. Jordin Wiggins ND HERE  Let's start rebuilding Safety, Desire & Intimacy. BEGINS OCTOBER 1ST, 2025 Summer is almost over, and I see a lot of my clients getting caught up in loops. You know that version of you that shows up on vacation. The one who laughs more easily, who says yes to sex, who feels lighter and more present in her body. Or maybe, like me, you have lived years experiencing a vacation from a bird’s-eye view, outside of your body, because of how burnt out you were. That woman isn’t fake. That’s you. But on vacation, you are not free to show up day to day either. Vacation sex is a lot like affair sex. All of the dopamine, none of the responsibility. If your relationship feels like a job and you only feel sparks or connection when you are away from your real life and responsibilities, this conversation is for you. You might be wondering why you only feel desire on vacation, why you crave sex when you are stress-free, but shut down as soon as you are home. Desire is not gone. It is buried under responsibility, gender roles, patriarchy, and nervous system overload. Vacation sex is not proof that your relationship is fine. It is proof that your desire remains. We are looking at the patterns that keep you blaming hormones or libido when what is really happening is your body protecting you. We are talking about bread crumbing, over-functioning, and super traits like empathy and achievement that erode intimacy without you even realizing it. Your erotic power and your desire do not need an escape. They need a new map. This is the first step on the pleasure path and the reason therapy, communication tips, or sex hacks have not worked. Once you can name the invisible dynamics at play, the path back to erotic aliveness and pleasure-centered relationships becomes clear.

#190 Why Strong Women Overlook Betrayal and Red Flags in Relationships

Join us in the Pleasure Principles™ Group Program with Dr. Jordin Wiggins ND HERE  Let's start rebuilding Safety, Desire & Intimacy. BEGINS OCTOBER 1ST, 2025   I was asked recently why successful, hardworking, intuitive women stay in emotionally harmful relationships. This was me. This is many of my clients. The truth is, we have super traits. The same traits that make us incredible in our careers, the ability to handle anything, to anticipate needs, and to stay calm under pressure, can also keep us from seeing just how harmful the relationship really is. Last week alone, I had a client discover her partner’s affair. I had another navigating her partner’s drinking. And another who found out her husband had opened another business and invested a large amount of their shared money without her consent. These are not small things. They are moments that rip the blinders off and make you see the truth you have been avoiding. In this episode, we talk about how super traits work against us in love, why we tolerate what should never be tolerated, and what it takes to finally stop normalizing the unacceptable.

#189 How to Build a Pleasure-Centered Relationship from the Inside Out

Most women don’t need another date night, another vacation, or better communication strategies. What they need is a radical unlearning of everything they were taught about love and intimacy. Because even the good relationships are built on extraction. Not reciprocity. Not mutuality. Not pleasure. If your relationship feels like a second job, if your body is numb, if you’ve been blaming your hormones or your libido and nothing ever really changes, this episode will hit deep. You’ve been rewarded for self-sacrifice your entire life. You are the one who holds it all. The one who fixes. The one who over-functions while feeling like your needs are too much. That’s not connection. That’s performance. That’s survival. And it’s killing your desire. This is where we name what’s really going on. The invisible emotional labor. The power imbalances are hiding in plain sight. The way women with super traits are conditioned to have their power extracted and their pleasure pathologized. So what does a pleasure-centered relationship actually looks like? A relationship where mutual joy, emotional safety, and erotic connection are prioritized. Not logistics. Not roles. Not appearances. A relationship where your nervous system can soften, your needs are valid, and your body is safe to receive. If you’re ready to stop performing pleasure and start feeling it, take the Pleasure Path Assessment [TAKE IT BY CLICKING HERE] and find out where you are. And if this resonates with you, I’ve opened two private coaching spots [APPLY HERE] this fall for women who are ready to transform everything about the way they love. You don’t need to leave your relationship. But you do need to leave the version of yourself that disappears inside it.

#188 Is He a Great Partner or Just Really Good at Control? The Good Guy Gaslighter

Your nervous system already knows what your mind has been trained not to see. “He’s a great guy.” “He’s a good dad.” “He means well.” These are the phrases that keep brilliant, high-achieving women stuck in sexless, disconnected, emotionally manipulative relationships. I’m naming the pattern you’ve been taught not to see… the good guy gaslighter. It’s the new face of power and control and it’s quietly draining your desire and destroying your self-worth. And might be the reason you are not feeling like showing up intimacy for your parter even when you know you want it. I’m breaking down DARVO tactics, tone policing, covert control, and how the very traits that make you successful, your super traits, are being used against you in intimacy. If you’re performing connection while starving for it. If you’re craving sex but feel invisible. if you’re doing all the work and still not getting your needs met. This one’s for you.

#187 The Truth About Estrogen & Breast Cancer That No One Is Telling Women

If you’ve ever been told that estrogen causes breast cancer, or that your mammogram will save your life, or that your only option is to “cut, poison, and burn,” this episode is going to challenge everything you’ve been taught. Dr. Jenn Simmons joins me for an honest conversation about what actually causes breast cancer, why the screening model is flawed, and how functional medicine is changing the game. Dr. Jenn was one of the top breast cancer surgeons in Philadelphia. She was the first fellowship-trained breast surgeon in her city. The first onco-plastic surgeon in the state. She was saving lives and doing everything by the book. Until one day, her own health collapsed. She went from being one of the most high-functioning people in the room to not being able to walk across it. When the system she worked in told her she needed chemo, radiation, and lifelong meds, a voice inside her said, there is something more. Go find it. And she did. She now leads a movement to help women prevent and reverse breast cancer using evidence-based functional medicine, hormone support, and real prevention strategies rooted in nutrition, detoxification, and nervous system health. We talk about what really causes breast cancer, how chronic stress and overachievement contribute to disease, why estrogen is not the enemy, the damage of overtreatment and fear-based care, how to actually screen for breast cancer without radiation, and what needs to happen to stop the silent suffering of survivors. This episode is for every woman who’s been told to be grateful just to be alive while she quietly suffers in pain, incontinence, insomnia, low libido, and fear. It’s for the woman who wants more than survival. And it’s for every high-achieving, burnt-out, hormone-depleted woman who needs a wake-up call before the body says no. If you’ve ever felt like no one was telling the whole truth about women’s health, this conversation is your proof that you’re not crazy. The system is broken. And there are other answers.

#186 Kink Isn’t About Pain It’s About Power and Presence

If you’ve ever been called intimidating, too much, or one of the boys. If you’ve had to explain how you like to be touched more times than you can count. If the idea of surrender feels terrifying because you’re the one who always needs to be in control. This episode is your permission slip. We are talking about kink. Not in the way you think. This is not about whips or pain or anything performative. This is about kink as a nervous system tool. A way back into your body. A space where you can finally stop performing, stop leading, and just feel. This episode is about what high-achieving women need when it comes to intimacy and why most of us don’t even know how much we’re craving surrender. I talk about power dynamics, topping from the bottom, and how we perform safety just like we perform sex. I'm sharing what I’ve seen in my clients who say they want to be dominant but want to be held. And I explain why this isn’t our fault. We’ve had to be in control to survive. But now, it’s time to learn how to receive. To feel. To reclaim our erotic power. Kink is a portal. And this episode is the doorway.   Private Coaching for High-Achieving Women Who Want It All  Success, intimacy, pleasure,  you don’t have to choose.

#184 Multiple Orgasms Aren’t About Skill, They’re About Safety

You’ve read the posts, tried the tips, downloaded the workshops, and still feel nothing. You can orgasm by yourself, but struggle with a partner. Or maybe you’re shut down completely and convincing yourself you’re over it. You’re not. You’ve just been stuck in survival. High-achieving women with super traits are doing sex backward. You’re performing instead of receiving. Doing instead of feeling. Googling techniques when your nervous system is too shut down to hold sensation. I’m walking you through why orgasm isn’t about skill, it’s about safety, why all the tips fall flat when your body isn’t regulated. And why do we start with nervous system work, not doing more? Not more effort. This is your invitation to stop performing and start receiving. If you’ve ever asked yourself, Is this all there is, and I don’t get to have mind-blowing orgasms, This episode is the answer.

#183 Why Successful Women End Up in Sexless Marriages & What to Do About It

The high-achieving women that I work with fall into two groups. Low desire and checked out because intimacy has become a performance, a task, a source of resentment. Or high desire and confused because sex is one of the only ways they feel close, but their emotional needs aren’t being met. And then they’re blamed for wanting it too much. No matter which group you're in, you're trapped. And it’s invisible unless you know what to look for. On the surface, it looks like a libido issue. But what we’re really talking about is emotional labor, power dynamics, and a nervous system that no longer feels safe. Whether it’s vacation-only sex or craving touch from someone who doesn’t meet you emotionally, your body is trying to protect you. I’ll walk you through real client examples of what this looks like and why women who have it all are still unfulfilled in intimacy. These women don’t need more communication tips. They need nervous system safety, emotional equity, and relationships where they can finally let go. If you've tried therapy, the books, the hormone panels, and you’re still wondering what’s wrong with you, this is your episode. You are not broken. You are burned out. And your body is smarter than you think. Pleasure starts when the pretending stops. Join me for the next round of Pleasure Principles. We start on June 25. [Join Here] Not ready for the full program but craving clarity?
