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!
