Have you ever created a ritual for yourself? It sounds crazy, right?! But maybe, just maaayyyybe it's the key to living your best life! 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.

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.   Special thanks to those mentioned in this episode: Zenden for the meditation class Midnight Beauty for the Brazillian lymphatic drainage massage   🧡 If you enjoy BLE and would like to show your appreciation, please click here: Buymeacoffee.com/BigLashEnergy Our not-so-secret goal is to create a tribe of badass women who find beauty in the messiest parts of life.

Are your girlfriends top tier, or have you just gotten used to the bare minimum? Even worse...Are you worried you have some fake or toxic friendships in the mix? In this episode, Jayna is putting your connections 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 tierfriendship 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.   IN THIS EPIOSDE -What Good friendships look like -do you have fake friends? -toxic friendships and how to spot them

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? Buckle up, because what's coming next will have you on the edge of your seat.   🧡 If you enjoy this show and would like to show your appreciation, please click here: Buymeacoffee.com/BigLashEnergy Our not-so-secret goal is to create a tribe of badass women who find beauty in the messiest parts of life.

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.

Expect laughs, truth bombs, relatable rants, and a reminder that the real magic isn't in the gifts, décor, or perfectly curated moments — it's in presence, connection, and chilling the f*ck out.  If you've ever felt overwhelmed, overstimulated, or secretly wanted to cancel Christmas (but dont want to be considered a grinch), this episode gives you a safe space to admit, it can be HARD WORK pulling all the strings behind the scenes.  🎁 If you enjoy this show and would like to show your appreciation, please click here: Buymeacoffee.com/BigLashEnergy Our not-so-secret goal is to create a tribe of badass women who find beauty in the messiest parts of life.

Are you a sucker for taking things personally? Have you ever walked away from an interaction assuming, "Oh… they definitely hate me".  Same. In this playful, feel-good episode, Jayna talks about how wildly wrong we can be about people when we assume their tone, mood, or energy is personal. Through funny misunderstandings, awkward moments, and very relatable scenarios, she explores what's really going on beneath the surface. This episode is a reminder (served with humor and heart) that not every weird vibe is about you, not every silence is rejection, and not every reaction deserves a spiral. Especially during the holidays, when emotions are high and patience is low, Jayna shows you how to laugh it off, protect your peace, and confidently remind yourself: that's not a me problem, babe! ✨ 🎁 If you enjoy this show and would like to show your appreciation, please click here: Buymeacoffee.com/BigLashEnergy Our not-so-secret goal is to create a tribe of badass women who find beauty in the messiest parts of life.

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.  If you've ever planned the "perfect trip" only to end up crying, stressed, and bonding through absolute nonsense… this one is for you!  Also...did you know Jayna's an international drug smuggler??...it's true! 

WARNING: ADULT CONTENT Do all women squirt? Is squirting pee? Why does my man want me to squirt? ...these are all valid questions we're answering today! In this episode, Jayna breaks down the most over-hyped and misunderstood trend in the bedroom. She clarifies what squirting really is, how the female body actually works, and how 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. It's certain, Porn really is affecting our sex lives!  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. IN THIS EPISODE: 💦 Real science, not porn plotlines 💦 The #1 factor that determines whether someone squirts 💦 Why porn-trained men desperately need a re-education 💦 A rant about how ridiculous squirting expectations have become 💦 Permission to explore your pleasure without pressur If you enjoy this show and would like to show your appreciation, please click here: Buymeacoffee.com/BigLashEnergy Our not-so-secret goal is to create a tribe of badass women who find beauty in the messiest parts of life.

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!)

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!

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!  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. This one's for anyone who thought they found the one, only to end up finding themselves on a group chat called "he aint sh*t."    EPISODE REFERENCES Trashy Divorces  - The Murder of Ann Boleyn   If you enjoyed this episode and would like to send some love, please click here: Buymeacoffee.com/BigLashEnergy Our not-so-secret goal is to create a tribe of badass women who find beauty in the messiest parts of life.

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.  If you enjoyed this episode and would like to send some love, please click here: Buymeacoffee.com/BigLashEnergy Our not-so-secret goal is to create a tribe of badass women who find beauty in the messiest parts of life.
