The Pleasure Principles with Dr Jordin Wiggins
Most high-achieving women don’t even realize they are living in an extractive relationship. You give and give in your relationship, in your career, and at home, and wonder why you feel exhausted, unseen, untouched, and unfulfilled. You blame your hormones, your libido, your partner’s attachment style, or your parents. You go to therapy, plan date nights, and try lingerie, but none of it works because the real issue isn't communication; it is extraction and power dynamics. The invisible dynamics are silently draining your health, your desire, and your power. Super traits like loyalty,...

#190 Why Strong Women Overlook Betrayal and Red Flags in Relationships
The Pleasure Principles with Dr Jordin Wiggins
Join us in the 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...

#188 Is He a Great Partner or Just Really Good at Control? The Good Guy Gaslighter
The Pleasure Principles with Dr Jordin Wiggins
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.

info_outlineMany 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.
