#48 Should you Stay with a Cheater? When to Say Goodbye and When to Try
Apr 5 2023
#48 Should you Stay with a Cheater? When to Say Goodbye and When to Try
In this follow-up episode to last week's "Seven Warning Signs Your Man Might Be A Cheater," Jayna tackles a big question: Should you give a cheater another chance or move the heck on? The answer seems simple - if you asked a friend, for example, most would scream “NO! Dump his ass!” but it’s easier said than done…Oftentimes, it’s not that cut and dry. There are so many things to take into consideration- maybe you have a long history, a family together or a deep love you don’t want to lose. Considering 68% of men and 32% of women who cheated are still married, staying together after someone stepped out of the marriage is not that uncommon at all!   This can be a very confusing time, so Jayna is offering a fresh perspective- some things to consider while making your decision. The goal? To help give you clarity as well as  confidence and ultimately, have you come out of this battle stronger, smarter and better than ever.  4 Things to remember: You are not stuckThis could be your biggest blessingThere are other people out there!The upgrade could be your new peace of mind  Covered in this episode:  What to do if your partner has been unfaithfulSurvivors of infidelityPersonal cheater stories Marriage problems Statistics on infidelity Feeling stuck in a relationshipGetting unstuckFinding the courage to leaveStarting overWhen is it time to end a relationship? How do you know he won’t cheat again?Feeling lonely in a relationship   Please share this show with anyone you know who could use a little BLE…let’s grow this tribe together!   If you have your own forgiveness story you think we need to hear about, please email us at Jayna@biglashpodcast.com to share your story.

#42 We Ask Men: Signs It’s Time To End a Relationship
In this unscripted collaboration episode, Jayna is the guest judge on the My Five Cents Podcast panel. Our host  joins the discussion with SoSo Juv, HLS (Habitual Line Stepper), and The Logical Genius as they each present her with their own list of 5 reasons to know when it’s time to end a dating relationship.  If you’ve been with your partner for a while now and things are fine, they aren’t great, but they aren’t horrible. How do you know when the person you’re with isn’t your person anymore? A dating relationship is a time to be picky, before any real commitment.  You haven’t signed any papers, and you can peace out whenever you want…but how do you know when it’s time to go? Listen in as Jayna determines who has presented the best-determining factors and offers a few tips of her own.

#41 “I Broke My Neck, Not My Vagina” A Beautiful Love Story
A super gushy, warm and fuzzy celebration of love just in time for Valentine's Day! Jayna gets to hear love stories for a living. After 18 years of asking every bride that sits in her chair how they met their person, thousands of responses later, she has heard them all. Today, she’s going to share her favourite. This isn’t your typical meet cute in a grocery store. Just because Jayna has had bad luck in love, doesn’t mean she can’t celebrate Cupid. Today, no matter what your relationship status is or how you feel about the Hallmark holiday, Jayna is here to reassure you that there is always hope for love!  So, light some candles and unwrap your chocolate hearts. We are shining the spotlight on love with one of our very own BLE besties, the sweet and sassy, Yasaman. As a past bride and always unique, she brought her own chair to the booking and almost knocked Jayna off her feet with her remarkable story. The path that brought Yasaman and Rob together was not easy, or conventional, but the universe conspired to ensure that someone so full of life did not end up half loved.

#40 Getting Old is the GOAT
Why does Jayna think getting old is the greatest of all time? The stars have aligned and in true serendipitous fashion: This 40th Episode of Big Lash Energy is also the 40-year anniversary of Jayna's womb evacuation.  On this monumental birthday, Jayna is looking back on the past 10 years, and exactly how different her present reality is from the future she had envisioned for herself reminding herself that progress does not always look the way we expect it to. The obstacles she has overcome and the wins that she has achieved since her 30th birthday are a true testament to her strength, resilience and determination. Admitting she does feel 27 with 13 years of experience, but that experience has made her wiser. She is no longer waiting politely to be acknowledged and has taken the lead on planning her own birthday festivities, with the amazing women who have been by her side through it all. This year, the celebration is going to be - big, loud, and full of love! To take the advice of John Lennon: “Count your age by your friends, not years. Count your life by your smiles, not tears.”  Happy 40th Birthday Jayna, the more candles on your cake the more you glow!

#39 Woman Seeking Woman: Exploring The Other Side of Tinder
Two date stories from people that surprised Jayna with their crazy, and one thing that may surprise you is that one of them was a lady!  First, Jayna needs a night out to unwind and dance after a busy bridal season, enter Simeon, confident, sexy and smells delicious. After a night of dancing and some serious chemistry he invites Jayna for a romantic overnight date out of town at a ski resort. Does Jayna accept his advances and let him plan and pay for an overnight vacation together? Or use her better judgement and turn down his offer to keep her organs intact.  Next, Jayna flips the script and signs herself up for women seeking women on Tinder in a brave new world of emojis, yoga poses and puppy selfies. After navigating landmines of past clients  Jayna swipes right on Kelly, a seemingly happy, athletic police officer. Does Jayna click with the fairer sex, or is one woman enough for her in a relationship? Listen in to hear what she does to have Jayna yelling “Woahhhh Kelly!”  Jayna has promised you crazy date stories, and these two don’t disappoint, they are great for a laugh If you are currently in the dating scene hopefully you can’t relate, and if you are in a relationship you can rest assured that you are not missing out on a thing by spending your evenings cozy at home with your person.  With Jayna, there are no bad dates, only great podcast stories.  Timestamps: Dating Story: Simeon 1:17Dating Story: Woman Seeking Woman 17:00    Covered in this episode: Dating someone possessive Dating a woman for the first timeCommitment issues Getting hat fished Dating a police officer Tinder stories    If you have had a hilariously terrible dating experience you think we need to hear, please email us at Jayna@biglashpodcast.com to share your story!

#38 Dating Broke Guys: Splitting Meals and Catching Feels
What is the opposite of a Gold Digger? Is there a name for that, oh, yeah…Jayna.  This week against the advice of her sister, Jayna is dishing on what she learned and loved while dating Broke Guys, almost exclusively. After a childhood embodying strong female artists chanting “No Scrubs” and “Bills Bills Bills” how did Jayna end up with her own string of Kevin Federline's (minus the babies)?  If you enjoyed the 50 Shades of Red Trilogy (episode 9), you’d understand why Jaynas bank account would signal for distress when she meets a new man (if it could). Tragically, Dee was not the only man to exploit her generosity.  There was a time when she was thrilled to enjoy her partner's uninterrupted attention and the flexibility of their time and availability she focused on finding a man for his company, humour, and intelligence (regardless of his employment history)  Hopefully, you can learn and laugh from her experience so you don’t have to waste your time and energy with a guy worth 30 cents less than a quarter.  Covered in this Episode: Perks of Dating Broke GuysNever too busy to text you backAvailable for any adventure (as long as you pay)Never too tired for sex (and usually Great at it!)They are there when you need them (As long as you don’t need money) Personal broke guy Dating experiencesThe benefits of dating someone who can keep up financially    If you have had a similar experience and are an authority in dating broke guys please email us at Jayna@biglashpodcast.com to share your story!
