Sima travels to Iran with just one goal: To figure out if the man she's only met twice is going to be her husband or not. (No pressure, right?!) The once long-distance connection quickly turns into family meetings, cultural traditions, gold coin negotiations, and a wedding timeline that moves faster than you can say "wedding dress".

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.

WARNING: ADULT CONTENT! Two girls, one mic, ZERO dignity. Good luck NOT laughing at this outrageous late night confessional that will have you feeling like you just stayed up past curfew, giggling till your tummy hurts! Just wait till you hear Rikki and Jayna's most embarrassing stories. Your host and her best friend are tucked into a hotel bed in Mexico, whisper-laughing, oversharing, and reliving their most mortifying moments — including two separate "I might not make it to the bathroom" near-tragedies and the time Jayna genuinely believed she had collected every STI like they were Pokémon cards.   If your life is lacking in laughter, then make sure to press play. This might possibly be the funniest episode of BLE to date!    🧡 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.

From the hype squad cheering her on, to the butterflies, to the "is this actually real life?" moment, this is a rom-com-meets-manifestation tale fueled by big dreams and audacity. 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. Because sometimes the best stories come from following your heart, trusting the universe, and saying yes before your adult brain can talk you out of it.  This is one you do not want to miss!  🧡 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.

This episode is the perfect example of doing it for the story — dreaming big, leaning into curiosity, and choosing bold experiences over playing it safe. This isn't about guarantees or expectations. It's about giving yourself permission to be delulu, to chase something that feels exciting, and to let life surprise you. Because sometimes the best moments come from saying "why not me?" and YES to the thing that scares you.  This is the build up to next week. The back story, the imaginary relationship, the prep for the trip and all the hype she needed.  Featuring special appearances by:  Sharlene (@glossynails), Elsa @jewelietteshop), Jaynas Mom, Dad, AND Arzo too!  🧡 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.

The holidays are supposed to be magical… so why do they feel like a full-time job no one applied for? In this unapologetically grinchy episode, Jayna drops her Holiday Grinch List and counts down the 10 things she HATES about Christmas  This isn't about poo poo-ing festive fun — it's about calling out how wildly complicated we've made the holidays, especially for women. 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 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. Expect: 💦 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.
