The Female Blueprint

About 80% of women don't experience desire the way you see it in movies.., you know, that random urge that comes out of nowhere and makes you want to jump your partner.Most women need something a little different. This week on the pod I sat down with Hannah (aka The Libido Fairy) who spent years thinking she was broken because sex would start amazing in her relationships and then completely disappear within months. She tried hormones, therapy, toys, even opening her relationship. Nothing worked until she learned how women's bodies actually experience desire.In this episode we talk about:→ The difference between spontaneous and responsive desire (and why 80% of women have responsive desire)→ The 4 warning signs that libido issues are affecting your relationship→ Why sexual satisfaction is the #1 predictor of desire→ How pelvic floor dysfunction and pain kill libido→ Nervous system regulation as the foundation for improving desire→ Pleasure mapping and vulva mapping—gentle practices for reconnecting with your body→ The truth about masturbation for women and why it's not what you think→ How to explore your sexuality without shame (whether you're single or partnered)→ Self-compassion practices for working through pain and negative associations→ Quality over quantity: what "good sex" actually meansIf you've ever avoided your partner's touch because you know where it's going and you just don't want to deal with it, or if sex feels like work or a transaction, or if you've convinced yourself that you're just broken or asexual when really you just haven't been given the right information—this episode is going to help you soo much!! Hannah is now happily married and having great sex, and she's helped thousands of women understand their bodies and their desire in ways their doctors never explained. This conversation might actually shift everything for you.Listen, share it with someone who needs it, and let's stop suffering in silence about this stuff.Follow Hannah:Instagram: @thelibidofairyWebsite: www.thelibidofairy.comPodcast: The Libido Fairy PodcastCome say hi to me:Instagram: @thefemaleathletedocWebsite: threesixtywellness.coKeywords: libido, low libido, responsive desire, spontaneous desire, sexual satisfaction, pelvic floor dysfunction, pelvic floor pain, vaginismus, vulvodynia, nervous system regulation, sex feeling like a chore, avoiding intimacy, women's sexuality, masturbation, pleasure mapping, self-compassion, sexual health, desire discrepancy, intimacy issues

You've been told cramps are normal. That irregular cycles are "just how your body works." That the pill will "regulate everything."What if all of that was wrong?This week I sit down with Nicole Jardim—women's health coach, author of Fix Your Period, and founder of the Institute for Menstrual Health for a conversation that cuts through the noise. Just two women who've been there, comparing notes on what actually happens when you start asking questions your doctor never answered.Nicole's story starts like so many others: five years on birth control, chronic UTIs, pain during sex, and a parade of specialists who couldn't connect the dots. It took an ER visit with a 104-degree fever for her to realize something had to change. What came next was a two-decade journey into understanding what menstrual health actually means and why so few of us were ever taught.In this episode:→ What a functional cycle actually looks like (and why 3-7 days matters more than you think)→ The real impact of suppressing ovulation, not just on your period, but on your entire system→ Why tracking your cycle isn't just for people trying to get pregnant→ What postpartum hormone recovery actually requires (spoiler: more than you're getting)→ How to talk to your teenage daughter about periods without repeating what didn't work for you→ The difference between cycle syncing hype and what research actually supports→ How to push back when medical advice doesn't sit rightThis isn't anti-birth control. It's pro-information. Whether you're on it, coming off it, or figuring out what comes next, you deserve to know what's actually happening in your body.Nicole's take? Your period isn't a problem to solve—it's data. And learning to read that data might be one of the most important things you do for your long-term health.🔗 CONNECT WITH NICOLE JARDIM:Nicole's book: Fix Your PeriodNicole's website: NicoleJardim.comInstagram: @NicoleJardim🔗 CONNECT WITH ME:My Instagram: thefemaleathletedocMy website: threesixtywellness.co💬 Join the conversation: What "normal" myth about periods did you believe for way too long?

Most moms don’t need more opinions...They need clarity, context, and real education about birth.In this episode of The Female Blueprint Podcast, I sit down with Trish — a labor and delivery nurse and educator known as Nurse Birth Mama for an in-depth conversation about what women are rarely prepared for in the birth room.In this episode, we cover:• What actually happens during labor in hospital settings• Why so many women feel powerless or rushed during birth• Hospital policies vs true informed consent• When “failure to progress” is and isn’t an emergency• How fear, tension, and environment affect labor• Pain myths vs reality in labor• Cervical checks, consent, and your right to say no• Induction, Pitocin, epidurals, and understanding your options• Immediate skin-to-skin and why it matters• Home birth transfers and what moms should know• How labor choices affect postpartum recovery• Pelvic floor health during pregnancy and after birth• Why knowledge is only powerful if you know how to use itTrish shares what she’s seen after years at the bedside, and why education without advocacy often falls short.

I’ll be honest...meditation has never been easy for me. For a long time, it felt uncomfortable. Like my mind got louder instead of quieter??And honestly, I didn’t feel like it was “for me.”So when women tell me they’ve tried meditation and thought,“Why is this making things worse?”I get it all too well, which is why I wanted to have this conversation.In this episode of The Female Blueprint Podcast, I sat down with Ellen Haines to talk about what’s actually happening when meditation feels hard, especially for high-functioning, driven women.This isn’t a conversation about “thinking positive” or forcing yourself to relax.Ellen explains why sitting still can bring up more noise before it brings calm.Why meditation isn’t about forcing relaxation.And how our nervous systems are often responding to stress and past experiences we’ve never really processed.I promise this episode wasn’t me teaching meditation!I asked alll the questions I’ve had myself and the ones I hear from women all the time, and letting someone who truly works in this space explain it in a way that finally made sense.We talk about:Why sitting still can make your mind feel louder, not quieterThe difference between mindfulness, meditation, and hypnosis (without the woo)How unresolved stress and past experiences quietly shape your reactions todayWhy motherhood has a way of bringing everything you avoided to the surfaceAnd how hypnotherapy can offer a gentler way to process trauma without reliving itIf you’ve ever thought:“I should be able to handle this better”“Why do I overreact when I know better?”“I’ve done therapy… why do I still feel like this?”This conversation changed how I think about meditation and why it feels so challenging for so many women.You’ll walk away understanding why your nervous system responds the way it does, and what it actually needs to feel safer and more regulated in daily life.Listen now and let this one sink in!👉 Connect with Ellen Ellen works with women and mothers through hypnotherapy, meditation, and subconscious healing.

Cancer is often framed as something that “just happens.”But what if it’s something we can understand, influence, and even prevent?In this weeks episode of The Female Blueprint, I was so excited to sit down with Dr. Nasha Winters, who was diagnosed with end-stage ovarian cancer at just 19 years old and given three months to live.Instead of accepting a single narrative, Dr. Nasha began asking deeper questions about the body, the nervous system, trauma, the environment, and the lifestyle factors that quietly shape our health long before disease appears.Today, she shares what she’s learned from both surviving cancer and spending decades working in integrative oncology.In this conversation, we dive deep into:• how fasting played a role in her healing• why fear and nervous system dysregulation can block recovery• the link between trauma, mental health, and physical disease• why cancer isn’t just genetic• the ten key drivers that influence cancer risk• how environmental toxins impact women’s health• what real empowerment looks like after a diagnosis• why prevention is the most overlooked form of careThis episode is for anyone who wants to feel more informed, more empowered, and more in control of their health journey.Connect with Dr. NashaLearn more about her work at drnasha.comListen to her podcast Metabolic Matters with Dr. Nasha WintersFind her on social media for education on cancer, metabolism, and prevention @drnashawintersCome say Hi to me!

Most women don’t struggle because they lack discipline.They struggle because they’re trying to force behavior change that was never designed for their brain or nervous system.In this episode of The Female Blueprint, I sit down with neuroscientist and author Anne-Laure Le Cunff to unpack why discipline breaks down for high-achieving women and what actually leads to sustainable change instead.Anne-Laure shares the moment that changed everything. While sitting in a hospital after being diagnosed with a life-threatening blood clot, her first instinct wasn’t fear. It was checking her calendar. That realization sparked a complete shift from chasing traditional success to studying how the brain truly drives behavior.In this conversation, we dive into:• Why discipline and willpower fail high-achieving women• How cognitive scripts quietly shape your habits, choices, and self-worth• The difference between potential and capacity and why confusing the two leads to burnout• ADHD, emotional regulation, and why productivity feels inconsistent• Why tiny experiments work better than big goals or rigid routines• How movement supports nervous system regulation• Why motherhood often requires reinventing yourself instead of “bouncing back”• How to make behavior change feel kinder, simpler, and more sustainableThis episode is for the woman who feels capable but exhausted. Ambitious but overwhelmed. Productive on paper but disconnected from herself.If you’ve ever thought, “Why can’t I just make this work?” — this conversation will change how you see discipline, habits, and growth.Connect with Anne-LaureLearn more about Anne-Laure’s work, subscribe to her newsletter, and explore her research at nestlabs.comGrab her book Tiny Experiments wherever books are soldConnect with MeSay Hi over on Instagram @thefemaleathletedoc Follow the podcast @thefemaleblueprintpodcastWork with me and my team: threesixtywellness.co

This conversation goes beyond products and protocols and looks at how gut health, nervous system regulation, immune function, mineral balance, and chronic stress shape skin health, especially for high-achieving women living in survival mode.Inside this episode, we dive into:• why acne eczema and psoriasis are signals not flaws• how nervous system dysregulation can block healing• why restrictive diets and clean eating often backfire• what lab testing actually matters and what does not• why supplements are not always the answer• how emotional stress and burnout show up on the skinIf you are doing all the right things and nothing is changing, this episode helps connect the dots.Go show Robyn some love!
