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 nowNavigating HPV, cervical dysplasia, and medical recommendations without shame or panicThe moment I walked out of a scheduled LEEP procedure, and whyThe protocols, practices, and lifestyle shifts I’m currently using to support my bodyHow embodiment, nervous system regulation, and sacred sexuality have become part of my healing processThis 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.
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 invitationHow the “ticking clock” and orgasm focus sabotage desire — even when attraction is thereWhy this isn’t a libido problem, a hormone problem, or a communication failureHow pressure impacts both partners — and creates avoidance, resentment, and disconnectionWhat actually creates the conditions for desire, connection, and pleasure to returnThis 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.🔗 Mentioned in this episode:S4 Ep 114 – Why Your Nervous System Is a Key Part of Having Better SexApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s4-ep-114-pt-1-why-your-nervous-system-is-a-key/id1645171635?i=1000725690890Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/52wUxB8AbMsoXM88ahcMif?si=hn4AfQ9sQ_KT_Fc47Asz9QS4 Ep 115 – The Hidden Nervous System Patterns Blocking Your Pleasure Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s4-ep-115-pt-2-the-hidden-nervous-system-patterns/id1645171635?i=1000727102675Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/57sVo4ByvVhKf8dYXr2Nt5?si=Zj1gf9ULRR23WWVidZ3K0AS4 Ep 112 – Erotic Talk vs Dirty Talk: How to Use Your Voice for Deeper PleasureApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s4-ep112-erotic-talk-vs-dirty-talk-how-to-use-your/id1645171635?i=1000723577728Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5S4FYaiRojnBqxwzdwwn7R?si=p3NcBat_SYiBH7ucvLGQWAS4 Ep 122 – How Taking Sex Off The Table Can Reignite DesireApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s4-ep122-how-taking-sex-off-the-table-can-reignite-desire/id1645171635?i=1000735196491Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7MY9JiNSiItpOP0qbW6IQD?si=3lA1dzvuTMqAcBkbAJPoaA5-Day Sensual Embodiment Challenge (free): https://janninemackinnon.com/challengeComplimentary Coaching Consultation (lock in current pricing before January 5th): https://janninemackinnon.com/connect

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 saferHow that energy repels the support you actually craveWhy communication breaks down when you’re overwhelmedA simple embodied way to share what you needHow to receive support without guilt or shutdownThese 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.→ Book your complimentary connection call to explore how we can deepen your pleasure, communication, and partnership. https://tidycal.com/janninemackinnon/catalyst-callJoin the Free 5-Day Sensual Embodiment Challenge to reconnect with your body and awaken your sensual power — in just 10 minutes a day. https://janninemackinnon.com/5-day-sensual-embodiment-challenge/
