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? SCORING 💛 7–12 points: "Baseline Friends" These are your good, normal, everyday friends. They: like you enjoy your company show up when it's easy But they might not: go out of their way deeply invest or consistently show up at that next level "These are your 'we have a good time' friends… not necessarily your 'I'd trust you with my life' friends." 👉 Translation: Totally fine… just know what lane they belong in. 🙂 13–16 points: "Growing Into It" There's definitely something better than average here here. Your friends: have top tier moments show flashes of real depth sometimes rise to the occasion But it's not fully consistent yet. "They can be that friend… they're just not always that friend." 👉 Translation: Potential is there—but consistency is what makes it elite. 🔥 17–19 points: "Solid Circle" Okay this is a strong group. 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.

Part 1 of a story that will unravel into something you won't be able to stop thinking about. In this episode, Jayna introduces a woman very close to her heart — a trusted member of her makeup team and a friend who, like so many of us, wanted love badly enough she silenced her own intuition. What begins as a romantic, hopeful meeting with a man who feels like "the one" quickly becomes the opening chapter of a much bigger, darker, and more complicated journey. This episode is the calm before the storm — the butterflies, the chemistry, the moments that feel fated… and the tiny red flags that are easy to dismiss when you're in too deep. It lays the emotional groundwork for a multi-part series that will unfold into betrayal, endurance, and the devastating cost of abandoning yourself for love. By the end, you'll be asking one question: is this the man she marries… or the man who changes her forever?

It's playful, flirty, and full of "why not me?" energy, reminding you what happens when you stop being sensible for five minutes and let your younger, bolder, wildly optimistic self lead the way.

What was SUPPOSED to be a beautiful family vacation turned out to be a week straight out of a reality tv disaster reel. This episode is funny, unhinged, and full of all the chaos Jayna DIDN'T post on Instagram. (We're talking some serious "are you kidding me?!" moments) Our host had every reason to lose her mind, but somewhere between the stress and the unmet expectations, she learned that sometimes connection happens in the messy, unfiltered, totally imperfect moments.

Also...did you know Jayna's an international drug smuggler??...it's true!

WARNING: ADULT CONTENT This week, Jayna's breaking down the most over-hyped and misunderstood trend in the bedroom. She clarifies what squirting really is, how the female body actually works, and why the porn industry has completely distorted our understanding of it with camera tricks, bladder hacks, and pressure-filled expectations that don't belong in real bedrooms. Most importantly, this episode is here to calm nerves, clear myths, and remind every woman that her body isn't "broken" if she hasn't squirted — it simply means she's a normal human being and not a paid performer with a gallon of Fiji water backstage. This one's fierce, informative, and full of "OHHH now that makes sense" moments. If you've ever wondered what's fact, what's fantasy, and what's pure internet delusion… Jayna's here to hand you the truth on a silver (waterproof) platter.

If you could take one guess at how they might feel about their precious son dating a much older, twice divorced woman from another country....you'd probably be right. What you might not expect, however, are all the lengths Jayna would go through in order to try and win them over.

We'll explore what makes older women irresistible (hint: it's not just the matching bra and panties), why younger men are flocking to us like moths to a well-lit, emotionally stable flame, and whether or not it's worth pulling a hamstring for love—or at least a really good time.

You're going to love how Jayna flips the script on the whole concept of "cougar". ( Did you know you could get catfished into roleplaying as somebodys step mom?!)

Nobody falls in love thinking they're going to break up. In this episode, inspired by Arzo's broken heart, we're sharing stories of some of histories WILDEST realtionship trainwrecks. First up, a modern take on Henry the VIII (AKA: The Original Fuck Boy). His love story with Anne Boleyn was one for the history books!

Next up, we jump forward a few centuries to modern-day celebrity divorces so expensive they make prenups look like romantic gestures. We're naming names, dropping dollar signs, and reminding you that love may be blind, but divorce lawyers have 20/20 vision. So pour yourself some wine and get ready to block your ex.

Do you talk mean to yourself too? As if the self-talk wasnt bad enough, some of the most hurtful things we believe about ourselves didn't even come from us. They came from offhand comments, schoolyard shade, or that one person's opinion that we never fully let go of. In this episode, Jayna opens up about some of the things she's told herself as well as things people have said to her. Who would have thought criticism from as far back as elementary school—yes, elementary—could still haunt her mind today and shape how she sees herself, even now. We're diving into the wild ways we self-sabotage: the names we call ourselves, the dreams we talk ourselves out of, and the critiques we treat like truth. But guess what? Just because someone said it doesn't make it real. And just because we've believed it doesn't mean we have to keep believing it. This episode is your invitation to unpack those old stories, rewrite the narrative, and speak to yourself with the kind of love and power you deserve. Afterall, you're not who they say you are, you're who you decide to become. If you're finally ready to serve an eviction notice to your inner critic, then hurry up and press play! iIt's time to take your power all the way back. Let's rewrite the narrative and show the world exactly who we are—unbothered and unstoppable. Listen in as Jayna talks about "spells" others put on us that slow our growth and prevent us from living up to our full potential. She shares lies she was told about herself that she believed and details how they all still affect her to this day.
