S4 Ep130 - Part 1. My HPV & Cervical Dysplasia Journey: Choosing Healing Beyond Fear

In this episode of Sacred Sex for Real Women, I’m sharing something deeply personal, and something many women quietly navigate alone.

This is part one of my HPV and cervical dysplasia journey, including abnormal PAP tests, CIN 2 diagnoses, colposcopies, and the moment I chose to step out of fear-based decision-making and into a more embodied, holistic approach to healing.

Inside this episode, I share:

  • How long this journey has been unfolding and why I’m sharing it now

  • Navigating HPV, cervical dysplasia, and medical recommendations without shame or panic

  • The moment I walked out of a scheduled LEEP procedure, and why

  • The protocols, practices, and lifestyle shifts I’m currently using to support my body

  • How embodiment, nervous system regulation, and sacred sexuality have become part of my healing process

This episode is not medical advice, it’s my lived experience, shared for women who want to feel informed, empowered, and sovereign in their health choices.

If you’re navigating HPV, cervical dysplasia, or feeling overwhelmed by medical pressure, this conversation is an invitation to pause, listen to your body, and choose from grounded self-trust rather than fear.

This is part one of my story. Part two will come when my body completes this chapter.

S4 Ep129 - Pressure Does Not Equal Pleasure: How Sex Pressure Quietly Kills Desire (and What Actually Restores It)

If sex has started to feel heavy, pressured, or like something you should be doing instead of something you genuinely want, this episode is for you.

Many women in long-term relationships still enjoy sex, but feel disconnected from desire, sensation, or ease. Not because something is wrong with them or their relationship, but because pressure has quietly crept into intimacy.

In this episode, we’re unpacking the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways couples put pressure on sex, from frequency expectations, to orgasm chasing, to the unspoken guilt that builds over time, and why that pressure actually shuts pleasure down.

You’ll learn:

  • Why pressure is read by your nervous system as a threat, not an invitation

  • How the “ticking clock” and orgasm focus sabotage desire — even when attraction is there

  • Why this isn’t a libido problem, a hormone problem, or a communication failure

  • How pressure impacts both partners — and creates avoidance, resentment, and disconnection

  • What actually creates the conditions for desire, connection, and pleasure to return

This is a grounded, honest conversation for real women in real relationships — not sex tips, performance advice, or quick fixes. We’re talking about embodiment, nervous system safety, and responsibility without self-blame.

If you’re ready to stop forcing intimacy and start creating space for pleasure to breathe again, this episode will meet you right where you are.

S4 Ep128 - Spontaneous vs Responsive Desire What Every Woman Needs to Know

So many women believe they’ve “lost” their desire… but most of the time, it hasn’t disappeared at all.

In this episode of Sacred Sex for Real Women, we’re breaking down the difference between spontaneous desire and responsive desire — and why this one shift in understanding can bring instant relief, more confidence, and a clear path forward (without forcing yourself, faking it, or waiting around for desire to magically strike).

You’ll hear why long-term love, busy life seasons, stress, and emotional disconnection can make desire feel distant — and how to start working with your body again so that flicker can build into a turned-on, satisfied sex life.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The key difference between spontaneous vs. responsive desire (and why most women are responsive)

  • Why “Are you in the mood?” often shuts desire down — and what to ask instead

  • The role of nervous system safety, emotional connection, and subconscious conditioning in libido

  • Practical ways to build anticipation, set the stage, and support your desire to blossom

  • 3 tangible tools to try: anticipation + stage-setting + erotic blueprints + yoni breathing

If you’re realizing there’s more underneath the surface — stress, safety patterns, old conditioning, or relationship dynamics — I’d love to support you. I’m currently refining my coaching containers after hundreds of hours of advanced training and 4 new certifications, and pricing increases for 2026. Now through January 5th is your window to lock in current pricing.

Sacred Sex For Real Women
S4 Ep127 - Avoid Holiday Disappointment: Communicating Needs & Expectations in Long-Term Love

The holidays are meant to feel magical, yet for so many women in long-term marriages, they feel heavy and disappointing. You’re carrying the emotional load, managing the details, and hoping your partner will “just know” what you need, but those unspoken expectations often lead to frustration and resentment.

Here’s the truth:
You’re not disappointed because he doesn’t care.
You’re disappointed because the expectations lived in your head, not in the relationship.


In this episode, building on last week’s Couple Bubble conversation, we explore how attachment patterns, shadow triggers, and hyper-independence shape the way you ask for support, or don’t.


You’ll learn:

  • Why “I’ll just do it myself” feels safer
  • How that energy repels the support you actually crave
  • Why communication breaks down when you’re overwhelmed
  • A simple embodied way to share what you need
  • How to receive support without guilt or shutdown

These tools will help you feel more supported, connected, and like a true team, not just during the holidays, but all year long.

✨ Pair this with last week’s episode for a powerful relationship shift.

We’ll also talk about:

• why your partner can’t read your mind (and what to do instead)
• how to create shared check-ins, agreements, and rescue moments
• simple ways to leave events feeling closer instead of drained

S4 Ep125 - Vibrators vs. Sacred Sexuality: Why Vibing One Out Isn’t the Same as Embodied Pleasure

Most of us learned to grab the vibrator, get off fast, and move on — a quick fix for stress or tension. But that “vibe and go” approach only scratches the surface of what your pleasure is capable of.

In this episode, Jannine breaks down the difference between a quick release and a sacred sexuality practice that expands your energy, rewires your beliefs, and connects you to something divine inside your body. You’ll learn how slowing down and bringing presence into pleasure can completely transform your confidence, your relationships, and the way you show up in life.

Inside this episode:

  • Why “quick release” patterns keep you stuck in surface-level pleasure

  • How removing the orgasm goal deepens sensitivity and satisfaction

  • The easiest way to bring your whole body into the experience

  • A simple pleasure-based method for rewiring your nervous system and expanding your confidence


If you’ve been craving more depth, aliveness, and connection — this conversation will show you that what you’re seeking isn’t out there… it’s already within you.

S4 Ep123 - Self Love That Reignites Pleasure with Monique Carmela

Self-love isn’t a pep talk—it’s the foundation that makes pleasure possible. In this intimate conversation, Monique Carmela and I get practical about dissolving shame, regulating your nervous system, and letting desire return—especially in long-term relationships and real-life seasons like motherhood and stress.

We unpack why “doing more” often backfires, how curiosity and compassion soften resistance, and how tiny self-devotions (breath in bed, shower rituals, a five-minute hand massage) build momentum without pressure. You’ll learn how to reframe “pleasure practice” as simple “time for me,” create a weekly devotional that actually fits your life, and expand your capacity to feel—so you naturally expand your capacity for pleasure and connection.

You’ll learn:

  • A body-based approach to self-love that calms your nervous system

  • How to meet shame and resistance without shutting down

  • Micro-practices you can weave into busy days

  • Why devotion beats discipline for sustainable intimacy

It might sound counterintuitive, but sometimes the best thing you can do for your sex life… is to stop having sex.

If intimacy has started to feel heavy — full of pressure, expectation, or frustration — this episode will feel like a deep exhale. Jannine shares how taking penetration or nighttime sex off the table helped her and her husband rebuild connection, confidence, and real desire, and how this simple shift can help you do the same.

🌹 In this episode, you’ll explore:

  • Why pressure and expectation can quietly kill desire

  • How taking sex off the table helps you rewire safety and pleasure

  • A simple guided reflection to help you notice your body’s real response to touch

  • How to communicate this approach with your partner so it builds connection, not distance

    S4 Ep121 - Sex Magick Isn’t What You Think: 5 Myths Keeping You Stuck

    Most women picture Sex Magick as a witchy movie scene — full moons, candles everywhere, hours-long rituals, and a super-spiritual partner.

    The truth? You can do Sex Magick in 10–20 minutes, solo, safely — and it can completely transform how you manifest.

    In this episode, Jannine busts the five biggest myths about Sex Magick:

    • That it has to be a long, elaborate ritual
    • That it must be done during a full moon
    • That it’s dark or dangerous
    • That it’s complicated
    • That you have to do it with a partner


    You’ll learn how simple and grounded Sex Magick can be, how to align it with love and integrity, and why your body — not the moon — is the true source of your power.

    Most women don’t realize how often they unintentionally emasculate the men they love — through tone, criticism, or constantly “doing it all” themselves.

    In this real-talk episode, Jannine breaks down what emasculation actually looks like, why it happens, and how to shift from control and resentment into appreciation, partnership, and polarity.

    Inside, Jannine shares:
    🌹 Real-life examples of how emasculation shows up (even with the best intentions)
    🌹 The energetic roots behind control, criticism, and resentment
    🌹 How appreciation opens the nervous system to safety, polarity, and pleasure

    S4 Ep117 - Midlife as Initiation: Truth, Power & Unapologetic Pleasure with Carla Wainwright Holistic Wellness Coach, Sexual Awakening Facilitator, and Midlife Alchemist

    What if midlife isn’t a slow fade—but a sacred initiation into your deepest truth, cellular power, and unapologetic pleasure? In this soulful, grounded conversation, Carla Wainwright—holistic wellness coach, sexual awakening facilitator, and “midlife alchemist”—joins Jannine to bridge science and the sacred. We unpack how hormone shifts, stress, and blood sugar changes can make pleasure feel far away—and why that’s exactly when pleasure (hello, oxytocin) becomes the antidote that rewires your nervous system and stabilizes your hormones. Expect liberating reframes (hot flashes as sacred burn-off, anyone?), practical micro-rituals, and a reminder that the wisest, sexiest chapters can unfold in your 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • The “sacred metabolism” of midlife: a simple science-meets-sacred lens for feeling vital again

    • Why oxytocin sits “on the throne” (and how to stack 5 daily oxytocin moments without adding more to your plate)

    • A kinder narrative for perimenopause + menopause that honors your body’s design (not a “decline to fix”)

    • How to transmute stress, people-pleasing, and identity shifts into clarity, boundaries, and desire

    • Real-life practices for wetter, juicier intimacy at any age (yes to lube, language, and voice)
    • The “second spring” reframe: channeling creative/sexual energy back into your heart and life purpose

    S4 Ep116 - What Is Approachable Sacred Sexuality? And Why Real Women Need It

    When you hear the words sacred sex, what comes to mind? For many women, it’s three-hour rituals, intimidating workshops, or needing a partner who’s just as into tantra as you are. But here’s the truth: approachable sacred sex isn’t about long, perfect rituals—it’s about feeling fully alive in your body, right here, in your real life.

    In this episode of Sacred Sex for Real Women, Jannine MacKinnon redefines what sacred sexuality really is (and isn’t), why it matters for women in long-term love, and how to begin weaving it into your life—even if you’re busy, tired, or juggling kids. You’ll learn:

    ✨ The four pillars of approachable sacred sex—body connection, presence, energy awareness, and holistic sex tools
    ✨ Why this practice transforms sex from performance into empowerment (and how that ripples into confidence, intimacy, and radiance in every area of life)
    ✨ Three simple, practical ways to begin sacred sexuality—even if you only have 10 minutes this week

    S4 Ep 115 - Pt. 2 The Hidden Nervous System Patterns Blocking Your Pleasure (and How to Rewire Them)

    This is Part 2 of my series on the nervous system and pleasure. If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, start there first!

    In this episode, we dive into the subconscious patterns—like performance, people-pleasing, or shutting down—that quietly block your capacity for pleasure. You’ll learn why they show up, how they’re rooted in shame and old beliefs, and two powerful ways to rewire them so your body can feel safe, open, and orgasmically alive.

    Sacred Sex For Real Women
    S4 Ep 114 - Pt. 1 Why Your Nervous System Is a Key Part of Having Better Sex

    Better sex isn’t about new positions, toys, or tricks—it’s about your nervous system. When your body feels stressed, arousal shuts down. When it feels safe, pleasure flows.

    In this episode of Sacred Sex for Real Women, Jannine MacKinnon shows why your nervous system—not technique—is the foundation for desire. She shares a behind-the-scenes story of losing her libido during bathroom renovations (and how she shifted back into pleasure), along with client examples that reveal how nervous system regulation transforms intimacy.

    You’ll also learn three simple ways to shift your state—so you can move from stressed and shut down into relaxed, open, and ready for pleasure.

    ✨ This is part 1 of a 2-part series. Next week, we’ll explore the hidden nervous system responses that get triggered during sex and how to rewire them for deeper openness and connection.

    S4 Ep113 - 8 Lessons from 8 Years of Marriage: Communication, Connection & Staying a Team

    Marriage isn’t just about love—it’s about learning how to communicate, stay connected, and choose each other in the messy middle. After 8 years married (10+ together), I’m sharing the 8 lessons that turned resentment and miscommunication into deeper intimacy, more laughter, and a rock-solid team.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why small hurts fester—and a simple cadence for hard conversations

    • How specificity (dishes, gifts, date night) ends disappointment

    • The appreciation effect: getting more of what you want without nagging

    • “Us vs. the problem”: shifting conflict into collaboration

    • Everyday ways to build physical + emotional connection (hugs are foreplay)

    • How playfulness keeps desire alive in busy seasons

    • Dreaming together so you don’t drift apart

    • Using shared values to make decisions (and drop what doesn’t matter)

    S4 Ep112 - Erotic Talk vs Dirty Talk: How to Use Your Voice for Deeper Pleasure with Luna Agneya Relationship Coach and Tantrika

    So many women freeze up when it comes to using their voice in the bedroom. You want to say something… but the words feel clunky, the mood feels fragile, and the moment passes.

    In this week’s episode of Sacred Sex for Real Women, I’m joined by Luna Agneya, Relationship Coach and Tantrika, to explore the art of erotic talk — and how it’s different from the performative “dirty talk” you might see in porn.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why erotic talk is more about embodiment than performance

    • How structure can actually make things sexier and safer

    • Simple tools to amplify connection and pleasure right away

    • Why bringing your erotic voice into sex builds confidence in every area of life

    This is a real, grounded conversation for women who want more than quick fixes or clichés — it’s about reclaiming your authentic voice, deepening intimacy, and turning communication into one of the hottest tools for long-term love.

    🎧 Tune in now and discover how to move from silence to sensual expression — and why your voice might just be your most powerful pathway to pleasure.
