#218 Destination Wedding Nightmare: Say ADIOS To The Budget!
2026-07-08 | 25 mins.
A destination wedding story that proves some things really can go from bad...to worse...to "wait, it gets worse than THAT?!" As a bridal hair and makeup artist with over 20 years of experience (and more Mexico weddings under her belt than she can count), Jayna Marie has seen a lot. This episode covers one of the wildest chains of events shes ever personally witnessed-- A story where the bride did everything right, trusted the right people and still ended up in a situation no one could have predicted. There's a health scare. There's a 5 figure sum of money, a mexico tourism scam, a piece of jewlery that vanished hours before an international flight home and a cancelled honeymoon. Somehow, by the end of it all, it becomes a Jayna problem too! This is a story about weddings, trust, unexpected expenses and what happens when "free" ends up costing everyone involved a whole lot more money than they bargained for. Press play and get ready to take notes, then send this episode to anyone planning an "I Do" in Mexico! New episodes of Big Lash Energy drop every week. If you love stories about weddings, bridal beauty and the chaos that comes with both, hit follow so you never hit an episode!
#217 Am I The Problem? ...Or Do These Pet Peeves Make You Twitch Too?
2026-07-01 | 24 mins.
Pet peeves. We all have them. The tiny, completely harmless things that somehow make your eye twitch, your blood pressure spike, and your soul leave your body. This week, Jayna Marie is coming in hot with a full-on rant — a hilarious, relatable list of everyday annoyances that might just be her 49th reason. And she is fully aware that most of them are irrational. That's exactly the point. Some are universal girl talk moments you'll be texting your friends about. Some are oddly specific. And you'll never guess the most RANDOM word that makes her want to scream! If you're looking for a funny, relatable comedy episode that reminds you you're not alone in your irrational irritations — this is exactly what you need today. Hurry up and press play to see if there's anything she's missed!
#216 The Message Every Woman With A Dream Needs To Hear!
2026-06-24 | 21 mins.
A Must-Listen for Every Woman With a Business idea or Purpose planted in her heart but is too Scared to Start! Do you feel underqualified for the goal you want to achieve? Do you want to start something but don't feel ready? Or better yet... how do you believe in yourself when you've already failed more times than you can count? Inspired by a recent talk Jayna Marie gave at the EmpowerHER Women's Luncheon, this episode explores purpose, self-doubt, faith, personal growth, and what it really takes to pursue a dream when confidence isn't showing up for the job. If you've ever been told to "just believe in yourself" and thought, I'd love to, but my track record has me questioning my abilities, this episode is for you.
#215 Call ME Daddy: Shout Out To The Women Who've Been Paying For MEN!
2026-06-17 | 24 mins.
How did Jayna end up being a sugar daddy? This week, our host takes a walk down memory lane — and honestly, it's more of a financial audit. She's done things for men that most people wouldn't do for their own family and somewhere along the way, she realized: she wasn't being a girlfriend. She was being daddy. A sugar daddy, to be specific. (The exact kind she always secretly wanted. Shhh!) This episode is a hilarious, horrifying, and weirdly empowering countdown of the most outrageous ways Jayna has financially and emotionally carried the men in her life — and the moment she decided to stop calling it love and start calling it what it actually was: daddy energy. If you've ever dated a man with potential, paid a bill that wasn't yours to pay, or found yourself being someone's life coach, therapist, personal assistant, and emergency fund all at once — this one is going to hit uncomfortably close to home. (Maybe you've got Daddy energy too!) Pour something that will put hair on your chest and get ready to cringe- this is the Fathers Day content we didn't know we needed!
