The Pleasure Principles with Dr Jordin Wiggins

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...

The Pleasure Principles with Dr Jordin Wiggins

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.

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

The Pleasure Principles with Dr Jordin Wiggins

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...

#181 Why Couples & Sex Therapy Doesn’t Work for High-Achieving Women (Truth About Communication) show art #181 Why Couples & Sex Therapy Doesn’t Work for High-Achieving Women (Truth About Communication)

The Pleasure Principles with Dr Jordin Wiggins

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...

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...

#178 Scheduling Sex Isn't The Holy Grail Solution to a Sexless Relationship show art #178 Scheduling Sex Isn't The Holy Grail Solution to a Sexless Relationship

The Pleasure Principles with Dr Jordin Wiggins

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...

"Most high achieving women don't have a libido problem. They have a pleasure problem." - Dr. Jordin Wiggins, ND

You've tried everything – hormone therapy, antidepressants, countless supplements, even sex therapy – but nothing seems to reignite your desire. 

As a result, you're left wondering if something is fundamentally broken within you. 

If this sounds familiar, you're about to discover why the answer isn't what you think.

Listen in as Jordin dives into:

  • Why there's a 90% chance your hormone levels aren't the real reason behind your lack of desire
  • The truth about hormone replacement therapy – when it helps and when it's just a band-aid
  • The surprising connection between over-functioning, feminine burnout, and your sexless relationship

After working with thousands of women over the past decade, Dr. Jordin reveals why high-achieving women struggle with desire – and it's not about estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone. It's about learning to receive in a world that's taught you only to give.
