#165 Blessed And Dressed Like A Princess: Arzos Prom Story!
"How do I pee in this dress?!" (It's HARD being so glamorous!) Press play for a real life Cinderella story, except this dress was pink and instead of a horse in carriage, our beauty went to prom in a mustang convertible! While her biological family downplayed graduation as something that was unnecessary, Arzos chosen family traveled 5 hours to be there, cheering louder than anyone in the crowd. This episode is about more than getting a diploma—it’s about transformation, triumph, and the kind of love that chooses you. Grab a tissue (or five), because this one will sparkle in your heart long after it’s over (and just wait till you hear how she got her dress!). This one's sure to have you in your feels (who doesnt need a little good news these days) and reassured that there are still good people with big hearts out there.

#164 They Told Arzo She'd Be A Crackhead...So She Got Her Diploma Instead!
She was the girl who wasn't supposed to graduate. In fact, a teacher once described Arzo as "One kid I thought was too far gone to be saved." but she and our host teamed up to create a mother-daughter duo that was NOT to be fucked with! Jayna promised Arzo that the two of them would cross the finish line together, as a team, no matter WHAT it would take and you'll never BELIEVE some of the challenges they faced along the way. Enjoy a series of funny stories from behind the scenes that any mother will find relatable and one story in particular that is...well....pretty unique to Jayna and Arzo. (HINT: Jayna almost had to take an emergency flight home from Mexico!) A fun lead up to next weeks graduation, this is a funny and heartwarming episode you dont want to miss!

#163 From 'I Heart You' To 'I Hate You'...How Did We End Up Here?
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.

#162 "You're Disgusting" And Other Fun Things I Tell Myself
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.
