In this episode, Naturopathic Doctor and Feminine Burnout & Pleasure Coach, Dr. Jordin Wiggins, and I dive deeply into our own journeys with feminine burnout, health issues, and entrepreneurship. We discuss why overdoing and people-pleasing can lead to diminished libido, pleasure and joy, and how this feminine burnout has become an epidemic in the modern world.
We explore how feminine burnout comes about, the ways it negatively affects so many areas of our lives, and how to heal from it in order to reclaim our pleasure in our bodies, families, and businesses.
Dr. Wiggins shares candidly about her struggle with mental health while pursuing her pre-med degree, and her personal experiences with the modern medical model which led her to Naturopathic medicine, and her coaching practice. She dives into the most common complaints that her coaching clients struggle with, and the teachings and practices which are most supportive for long-term healing from chronic burnout.
