In Part 2 of "My Cougar Love Story", Jayna picks up where she left off—the most awkward "meet the parents" moment since Ben Stiller met Robert De Niro. These aren't just any parents... we're talking a pastor and his very proper wife. (Gulp.) 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. Let's just say, she tried everything short of speaking in tongues- a full blown PR campaign for redemption! Was it a losing battle? Listen and find out!

A story about letting go of timelines, trusting your gut, and discovering that age really is just a number when two people truly connect.

So you went out for margaritas and came home with a 25-year-old? Honey, it's happened to the best of us! (Jayna included!)

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'll get to take a peek into Jayna's DMs, hear some real-life cougar tales from BLE besties and we'll even get some men to chime in on the conversation! 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?!) These young men really are risking it all for grown women who know what they want! Warning: this episode may cause spontaneous confidence and the urge to update your dating app age filter.

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! He wrote her poetry, changed the country's religion for her, and then—spoiler alert—cut things off literally. (Who knew tea from the 1500's was this hot?!) 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.

Sometimes, all you need is for one person to believe in your potential in order to turn your whole world around. Before Arzo moved in with Jayna, the odds were stacked against her. A hard upbringing left her unable to see a future for herself. Her family thought she would end up on the streets and even she told her high school principal that in 5 years, she'd likely be selling drugs in a back alley. In this heartwarming story, Jayna outlines what she did to inspire the once troubled teenager to believe in herself and the steps they're taking together to ensure Arzo has a brighter future. We're also taking a minute to celebrate the major win that we, the Besties, achieved together.
