    73: Clitoral Vibration as Healthcare Not Just Pleasure with Natalia Banton
    Feb 12 2026
    Episode Overview Natalia, founder of Dott, joins the podcast to discuss why clitoral vibration should be considered healthcare for menopause—not just pleasure. As an industrial designer who experienced Premature Ovarian Insufficiency in her thirties, Natalia breaks down the physiology of estrogen loss, decreased blood flow to pelvic tissues, and how vibration therapy supports tissue health, natural lubrication, and nervous system regulation during hormonal transitions. What You'll Learn Why blood flow to your vulva and vagina decreases during perimenopause and menopause—and what that means for tissue healthHow vibration therapy prevents the thinning, dryness, and sensitivity loss that many people accept as "normal aging"The three-phase ritual (regulate, release, restore) and why nervous system regulation comes before addressing the vulvaThe difference between using vibration therapy preventatively versus therapeutically once symptoms have startedWhy standards matter in the intimate wellness industry—and what Health Canada licensing actually means Guest Bio Natalia is an industrial designer and founder of Dott, a Health Canada licensed intimate wellness company focused on perimenopause and menopause care. After watching her mother suffer through menopause in silence and experiencing Premature Ovarian Insufficiency herself in her thirties (which led to bone density loss before diagnosis), she founded Dott to treat vibration therapy as real healthcare for women's bodies. She designs tools and education that support hormone balance, pelvic floor health, nervous system regulation, and sexual comfort during hormonal change. Natalia collaborates with menopause clinics and pelvic floor therapists to integrate evidence-based vibration therapy into treatment protocols. Theme Song: The Chain by Fleetwood Mac Key Topics Covered The physiology of estrogen depletion and decreased pelvic blood flowHow vibration therapy increases circulation to vulvar and vaginal tissuesNervous system regulation as the foundation of the three-phase protocolWhy preventative care matters before symptoms become severeThe lack of standards in the intimate wellness industryPartnering with healthcare providers to integrate vibration therapy into pelvic health treatment Connect with Natalia Website: Dott WellnessInstagram: @dott.wellnessLinkedIn: Natalia B.

  • 72: Super Traits and the Real Reason Your Sex Drive Disappeared with Dr. Jordin Wiggins

    72: Super Traits and the Real Reason Your Sex Drive Disappeared with Dr. Jordin Wiggins
    Feb 5 2026
    Episode Overview Dr. Jordin Wiggins is a naturopathic doctor, author of The Pink Canary, host of The Pleasure Principles podcast, and an intimacy coach for high-achieving women. Her journey into women's sexual health started in grade 10 with debilitating pelvic pain that felt like "somebody was shoving a knife in between my vagina and my rectum." Doctors dismissed her pain as psychological, offering antidepressants because they couldn't see the problem on imaging. It wasn't until naturopathic medical school that she learned about pelvic floor physiotherapy—the answer she'd been searching for. That experience of being dismissed by healthcare, combined with horrible reactions to birth control, shaped her mission: understanding why 50% of women globally suffer from sexual dysfunction and why so many successful women have everything they thought they wanted but feel completely unfulfilled. In this conversation, Jordin introduces super traits—personality strengths like empathy, loyalty, tolerance, and hard work that make you extraordinary in your career and relationships. But when there are no boundaries around these traits, women build their entire relationship around their partner's moods and comfort, carrying all the emotional labor while their own needs shrink smaller and smaller. What happens in the bedroom becomes a mirror of what happens outside the bedroom. What You'll Learn: How being gaslit about pelvic pain shaped Jordin's approach to women's health, why she ran a successful 7-figure women's health clinic that almost swallowed her whole, what super traits are and why conventional advice doesn't work for women who have them, the four hidden patterns that destroy intimacy in relationships, why "just communicate better" doesn't address power dynamics, the difference between desire that's gone versus desire buried under resentment, how to start examining your relationship without making things worse, why accountability requires checking for safety first, what it means to come home to your head, heart, and body, and why sex being "for him" while connection is "for us" keeps women stuck. Resources Mentioned: Super Traits Research: Sandra Brown's original research on super traits as personality strengths Free Resource: Super Traits Quiz — Take the quiz to discover your super traits. Jordin notes the quiz sends your top trait, but she can send all results profiles if you DM her on Instagram, as most women have three or four super traits.
