Big Lash Energy - Self-Help, Confidence & Real Talk for Women!

The universe is always listening… the question is—what are you telling it? At the start of this year, Jayna didn't love the story she was starting to believe. Things felt heavy, off-track, and honestly… kind of doomed. Until she realized she was unintentionally scripting more of what she didn't want. So she paused—and created a ceremony to reset everything. In this episode, Jayna shares how that intentional shift in energy, mindset, and self-connection created a ripple effect she couldn't ignore. Almost instantly, the universe responded with opportunities, support, and moments that helped her recalibrate her mind, body, and spirit. Press play for a beautiul reminder: you are not stuck. You are powerful. And sometimes, all it takes is one intentional moment to change your entire trajectory.

Are your friends top tier, or have you just gotten used to the bare minimum? In this episode, Jayna is putting friendships to the test—with a playful (but telling 👀) Fab Friend Report Card that will have you side-eyeing your group chat in the best way. From hype levels and loyalty to jealousy (or lack thereof), reciprocity, and being a true safe space… we're breaking down what top tier friendship actually looks like. You'll be scoring your circle in real time—1 to 3 for each category—plus a little bonus point for something Jayna describes as the highest top tier quality. But don't worry—this isn't about cancelling your friends. It's about getting honest about what you have, what you deserve, and what you might want to call in more of. Because the truth is… not everyone is meant to be top tier—and that doesn't make them bad. It just means they might not be your people in that way. So grab a pen, open your notes app, and let's find out… ✨ Are your besties the best… or is it time for a friendship upgrade?

These friends: support you care about you show up in meaningful ways You likely feel: safe valued and seen most of the time "You've got real connection here… this isn't surface level." 👉 Translation: This is a circle you can build with. 💎 20–21 points: "Top Tier Energy" Now we're talking. These are the friends who: consistently show up genuinely celebrate you inspire you and make your life better just by being in it "You don't question them… you experience them." 👉 Translation: This is the kind of friendship people wish they had. 👑 22 points (with bonus): "Elite, Ride-or-Die" This is rare air. These friends: don't just support your life… they're part of building it protect your name show up behind the scenes and would absolutely help you move, cry, build, heal… all of it "These aren't just friends… these are your people." 👉 Translation: Keep them close. Be that friend back.
