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: Our not-so-secret goal is to create a tribe of badass women who find beauty in the messiest parts of life.

#189 Do They Hate Me? And Other Thoughts That Drive Me Crazy
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: Our not-so-secret goal is to create a tribe of badass women who find beauty in the messiest parts of life.

#188 You’ll Never BELIEVE What Happened On Our Family Vacation!!
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!

#187 Is Squirting Pee? + How Porn Affects What's Expected of You & Me
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: Our not-so-secret goal is to create a tribe of badass women who find beauty in the messiest parts of life.

#170 Meeting His Parents: "Please Don't Tell Them We Had Sex"
In Part 2 of "My Cougar Love Story", Jayna picks up where she left off—the most awkward "meet the parents" moment since Ben Stiller met Robert De Niro. These aren't just any parents... we're talking a pastor and his very proper wife. (Gulp.) If you could take one guess at how they might feel about their precious son dating a much older, twice divorced woman from another country....you'd probably be right. What you might not expect, however, are all the lengths Jayna would go through in order to try and win them over. Let's just say, she tried everything short of speaking in tongues- a full blown PR campaign for redemption! Was it a losing battle? Listen and find out!

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!) In this extra spicy episode, we’re talking about the real pros and cons of dating younger men—like stamina that won’t quit, and the sudden need to Google slang mid-sex (Wtf is "Rizz?"). We’ll explore what makes older women irresistible (hint: it’s not just the matching bra and panties), why younger men are flocking to us like moths to a well-lit, emotionally stable flame, and whether or not it’s worth pulling a hamstring for love—or at least a really good time. 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! Warning: this episode may cause spontaneous confidence and the urge to update your dating app age filter.
