#177 The Real Reason You Don’t Want Sex in Your “Good” Relationship
You say your husband’s great. Supportive. A great dad. He helps around the house. He doesn’t cheat. So why don’t you want to have sex with him?

We’re talking about the invisible power dynamics that cause erotic shutdown, especially for high-achieving women with supertraits like empathy, loyalty, and perseverance. Here’s what you’ll walk away with: Why your libido isn’t broken, it’s protecting you How “nice guy” behaviors create disconnection The impact of decision-making imbalances on desire Why performative praise isn’t the same as true partnership How to stop explaining away your unmet needs and start getting fed You're not broken.

#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.

No woman left behind! In this vulnerable and transformative conversation, Dr. Jordin opens up about the evolution happening within The Pleasure Collective as she partners with client, marketing expert, and author of Identity Marketing, Veronica Romney, to redefine how to ensure every high-achieving woman knows what they deserve and the path to receive it. ”The accolades that you are experiencing in your professional life are going to take away from your personal, intimate life.” If that line also makes you want to lean in, the way Veronica did, here’s what these two powerhouses are getting into: How Dr. Jordin is quietly leading a movement of powerful women who are "quietly shaking the world" The powerful legacy being built as women who walk The Pleasure Path begin advocating for other women How a "pleasure-centered relationship" creates ripple effects that transform not just relationships, but families and communities If you also feel like you’re succeeding in every area of your life, except your intimate relationships, here’s how to take the next step on The Pleasure Path: Listen to Dr. Jordin’s private podcast series, The Pleasure Path, where she guides you through identifying the specific blocks keeping you from experiencing deep pleasure, authentic connection, and your fullest potential.

#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.

#169 - No Consent, No Trust: The Reality of Porn Addictions
Many high-achieving women find themselves stuck in relationships where trust is broken, intimacy is lacking, and boundaries aren’t respected. Sound familiar? Today, we’re tackling a raw and real question from a listener: “My partner appears to be addicted to porn. I’ve confronted him, set boundaries, brought it up in couples therapy, but he continues to lie and hide it. I don’t trust him anymore. I’ve threatened to leave, but we have young kids. I don’t want to stay in a loveless relationship where I feel like I’m just the financial and emotional glue holding everything together. What do I do?” In this episode, Dr. Jordin dives deep into: If porn is actually addictive. (Spoiler: The medical community doesn’t classify it as an addiction, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a problem in your relationship.) How healing begins with radical honesty and setting real boundaries. The reality of staying in an unfulfilling relationship and its impact on your holistic health. It’s time to shift the focus from fixing him to healing you. Tolerating disconnection, loneliness, and a lack of intimacy is killing you. This episode will help you get clear on your desires, how to identify and enforce your boundaries, and decide what’s truly best for your well-being. If today’s episode struck a nerve, or if you’re feeling the anger and betrayal of boundaries being ignored, send Jordin a direct message on Instagram to find what solution can help you feel fulfilled and connected again.

#168 - Why High-Achieving Women Dissociate During Sex (And How to Reconnect to Pleasure)
Do you ever find yourself mentally checking out during intimacy—thinking about your to-do list or even feeling “the ick” when your partner touches you? You’re not alone. High-achieving women often struggle with dissociation during sex, and in this episode, Dr. Jordin Wiggins is breaking down exactly why it happens and how you can start healing. Dissociation is not a personal failure—it’s your nervous system’s way of protecting you when pleasure doesn’t feel safe. Whether it's because you’ve been conditioned to prioritize productivity over receiving, or because of past trauma (recognized or unrecognized), dissociation keeps you stuck in your head instead of present in your body. In less than 30-minutes, here’s what you’ll learn: Why high-achieving women are more likely to dissociate during intimacy How past trauma—both big and small—can shape your relationship with pleasure The 4 steps to start reconnecting to your body and feeling safe with intimacy again The truth is, if you’ve been “going somewhere else” during sex, you can also find your way back. This is your invitation to start healing, reclaim your feminine power, and experience intimacy and pleasure in a way that truly nourishes you. If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who needs to hear it. The more we talk about this, the more we heal. If you’re ready for REAL results, I challenge you to join my Group Coaching experience, a 3-month private coaching and mastermind container designed to help high-achieving women reclaim their feminine power, master pleasure, and finally feel deeply fulfilled in their relationships and personal lives.
