    A Mexico City Meltdown Wasn't On Our Girls' Trip Bingo Card!

    What happens when a dream birthday adventure goes completely off the rails... 2,000 feet in the air?! Jayna and her best friend Elsa are back in Mexico City for a once-in-a-lifetime hot air balloon ride over the ancient pyramids of Teotihuacán. It's supposed to be a magical sunrise experience celebrating Elsa's 50th birthday. But when things don't go according to plan, the birthday girl is NOT having it! What follows is a hilarious travel disaster involving big emotions, unexpected drama, and two best friends who couldn't handle conflict more differently. One's determined to keep the peace. The other? She's got ZERO f***s left to give. Between the laughter, tears, and absolute chaos, Jayna discovers a surprising lesson about people-pleasing, expressing anger, female friendship, and giving yourself permission to feel your feelings. Because sometimes the most unforgettable travel memories aren't the ones you planned. And sometimes... it's your birthday, and you can cry if you want to! 🧡 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.

    #231 The Cornell 7: But What Was She Wearing?

    (CONTENT WARNING: SA IS DISCUSSED) F*** being cute. Jayna's pissed and speaking up for all women who've had enough. Sparked by the Cornell Seven Story and the surrounding conversation this one is fuelled by collective rage. It's a raw, hot take on rape culture, bro code and the silence that protects it all. In this unfiltered episode, Jayna steps away from her usual format and asks why women are still doing all the homework. "Watch your drink, dont walk alone, dont get too drunk" instead of teaching men not to harm. From personal experiences with sexual assault to raising a daughter, Jayna unpacks consent, victim blaming, the effects of porn, and the silence of "good" men. Sources & Further Reading RAINN — Sexual Assault & Rape Statistics⁠ — RAINN reports that 76% of reported rapes are committed by someone the victim knows.  RAINN — Reporting Sexual Assault & Criminal Justice Statistics⁠ — includes the statistic that 975 perpetrators out of every 1,000 sexual assaults do not receive incarceration.  CNN Investigation — Hidden networks sharing methods for drugging and sexually assaulting women⁠ — CNN's investigation documented men sharing "sleep content," drugging women, and an "eye check" used to demonstrate unconsciousness.  Reuters — New York Attorney General named special prosecutor in Cornell rape probe⁠ — covers the reopened Cornell investigation and the DA's plan to present evidence to a grand jury.  PubMed — Erectile Dysfunction in Adolescents and Young Adults⁠ — a 2024 review reporting a large increase in adolescents presenting with erectile dysfunction and discussing online pornography among the areas being researched.  PubMed — Pornography Consumption and Male Sexual Dysfunction: A Systematic Review⁠ — a 2026 systematic review finding the relationship is complex: pornography viewing alone was not a clear predictor of dysfunction, while problematic use showed stronger associations in some studies.  🧡 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.

    Why I'm Obsessed With Frida Kahlo (And You Should Be Too!)

    This isn't a history lesson. It's girl talk about one of the most fascinating women who ever lived. You know the eyebrows. You know the flower crown. You've seen her face everywhere. But trust us…facial hair was the LEAST interesting thing about Frida Kahlo. In this episode, Jayna shares five reasons she's completely obsessed with Frida—and by the end, you might be too. Her story is painful, romantic, rebellious, wildly unconventional and, at times, just the right amount of PETTY. There's a reason Jayna has this woman tattooed on her body, hanging larger-than-life in her living room…and why she may have even named someone in her family after a particularly important man in Frida's life. 👀 Come for the Frida Kahlo story. Stay for the heartbreak, resilience, audacity and the story of a woman who refused to be forgettable 🧡 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.

    Listeners Share The DUMBEST Lies That Men Have Told Them!

    Jayna asked her IG fam to share the most ridiculous lies men have told them in dating, relationships and marriage, and OH. MY. GOD. You delivered. In this hilarious listener-submission episode of Big Lash Energy, we're starting with your basic, low-budget b******t and working our way up to lies so outrageous they require commitment, creativity and an absolutely breathtaking amount of audacity.

Come for the dating stories, relationship drama and spectacularly bad lies. Stay for Jayna's completely unsolicited commentary. Grab a drink, get comfortable and prepare to say, "THERE IS *NO WAY* HE SAID THAT."

    Men Doing Dumb Sh*t...But What's New?!

    WARNING: Adult Content! What REALLY happens at bachelor parties when the women aren't around? Apparently, sometimes it's better not to know. After last week's heartfelt relationship advice was met with near-record-breaking SILENCE, Jayna has gotten the message loud and clear: enough positive reinforcement when men behave badly...we wanna complain, damnit!  And oh does she ever. This week on Big Lash Energy, Jayna is sharing two of the craziest bachelor party stories she's ever witnessed—both involving men who proudly decided there would be NO STRIPPERS out of respect for their future wives (adorable, right?!).Except what happened instead was so bizarre, so wildly inappropriate and so spectacularly stupid that years later, Jayna still has questions. One bachelor party left behind a scene she never expected to come home to, the other left behind photographic evidence she was NEVER supposed to see and once you hear what was on those photos…you'll understand why this story has lived rent-free in her head for decades. If you love hilarious relationship stories, bachelor parties gone wrong, men behaving badly and the kind of girl talk that makes you text your best friend "YOU NEED TO HEAR THIS" --then press play! 🧡 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.
