How High Achievers Lose Pleasure And Find Themselves Again with Dr. Jordin Wiggins

Send us Fan MailYour life can look perfect and still feel dangerous to your body. That is the thread we pull today with Dr. Jordin Wiggins, a naturopathic doctor and author of The Pink Canary, as we talk about the quiet signals women ignore until they cannot ignore them anymore: numbness, chronic stress, “functional” burnout, low libido, and that haunting sense that joy has gone missing.We dig into anhedonia, the inability to feel pleasure, and why it often gets mislabeled when you are still performing at work, keeping the family running, and smiling through it. Jordin explains how the nervous system and brain respond when you do not feel safe, including how pleasure centers can shut down under prolonged stress. We also talk about why hormones and antidepressants can help some people while still not addressing the real root cause for others, especially when the problem lives inside a relationship system that is extracting from you.From there, we name what is often left unsaid: coercive control. Jordin breaks down “super traits” like above-average empathy, loyalty, forgiveness, and tolerance, and how those strengths can make high-achieving, people-pleasing women more vulnerable to manipulative power-and-control dynamics. We share practical starting points from Jordin’s “pleasure path,” including small pleasure practices that rebuild presence and help you re-center your own needs without guilt.If you are ready to feel like yourself again, listen through and then check out Dr. Jordin’s work, including The Pink Canary, her Pleasure Principles Podcast, and her Pleasure Path Substack visit her website at: https://www.thepleasurecollective.com/Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more women can find these conversations.Support the showTo download a free chapter of host Sylvia Worsham's bestselling book, In Faith, I Thrive: Finding Joy Through God's Masterplan, purchase any of her products, or book a call with her, visit her website at www.sylviaworsham.com
