The Pleasure Principles with Dr Jordin Wiggins

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.

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.

The 10 Phrases That Make Her Want Sex Again She came on the call overwhelmed, crusty, resentful. She left flushed, smiling, turned on. If you’ve built your life on doing things right and still feel disconnected from sex, this episode is for you. We are talking about what actually helps high achieving women want sex again. Not dirty talk. Not pressure. Not more performance. These are ten phrases that soften your jaw, land you in your body, and let your nervous system breathe. Because when you are always leading, adjusting, and accommodating, there is no room for your pleasure. If you are tired of wondering what happened to you, if sex feels like pressure or something you avoid, or if you only want it to feel close and then get blamed for wanting too much, this is the moment it all starts to make sense. You are not broken. You are in survival mode. And these ten phrases help you come home. Take the Pleasure Path Assessment and find the erotic shutdown style and super traits that are keeping you stuck.

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.

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.

Superwomen, we need to talk about your pelvic floor. If you’ve ever apologized during a pelvic exam, felt broken because sex hurts, or wondered if leaking when you laugh is just part of being a mom, this conversation is for you. Pelvic floor physiotherapist Aliya Dhalla joins me to answer the questions most of us are too ashamed to ask. We talk about vulva appearance, labiaplasty, pelvic tension, postpartum trauma, and the invisible ways stress shows up in our bodies, especially in the pelvic floor. You’ll hear how porn and patriarchy have warped our ideas of what’s normal and why so many women are walking around in pain without ever being diagnosed. We go deep into: Why do women apologize for how they look, smell, or show up in the exam room What’s actually normal when it comes to vulva anatomy and hair How stress, trauma, and overthinking get stored in your pelvic floor Why painful sex is not something you should push through The connection between clenching, safety, and self pleasure Your body is not broken. You are not too much. You just haven’t been told the truth.   Grab your live Pleasure Path Assessment and get the answers you've been looking for. [Grab your spot here.]   Connect with Aliya Website: https://boxwellness.co/ The Not Your Mother's Pelvic Floor Podcast   Connect with Dr. Jordin Instagram [@drjordinwiggins]    

Why you don't need to communicate better and other weaponized advice from couples therapy and Instagram influencers. These are the things keeping you stuck in your sexless marriage. If your relationship feels like a never-ending conversation with no lasting change, chances are you don't need to communicate better. You need to understand the concepts of coercive control and power dynamics. Most high-achieving women are not evil at communication. They run companies. They run households. However, in their relationships, they are over-functioning and over-communicating, yet still not getting their needs met. You do not need better scripts. You need a better framework.

You’ve read the sexy prompts, saved the dirty talk guides, maybe even worked up the courage to send a flirty text and still nothing changes. The card games, therapy scripts, I statements, sandwich feedback, even Nonviolent Communication and it still hurts. You feel alone. It reinforces the belief that you’re the problem. But you’re not. I’m sharing the 5 questions couples having great sex are asking each other and why communication advice does not work for high-achieving women with super traits. You’ll learn: – Why high-desire women chase emotional unavailability in the bedroom – What’s really happening when low libido makes sex feel not worth having – How dysregulated nervous systems shut down pleasure, connection, and truth – The difference between fantasy and reality when it comes to intimacy advice This is part one of a two-part series on why communication will not fix your sexless marriage and what actually might. Because if you’re still not touched in the way you want to be, still feeling unseen and dismissed, the script you’ve been handed is broken.

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.

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.
