What happens when a man’s deepest loyalty isn’t to you, but to his male peers? In this powerful episode of the Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Podcast, Lynn pulls back the curtain on the hidden emotional alliance between men that often goes unnoticed in relationships: the Silent Brotherhood.

This isn’t about overt betrayal. It’s about the subtle ways men prioritize male approval, protect male comfort, and stay quiet when it matters most—even at the cost of the women they claim to love.

We explore:

  • How the unspoken code between men shapes relationships
  • Why emotional exclusion feels like betrayal (because it is)
  • What male “respect” often means—and who it’s really for
  • How patriarchy survives through silence, not just aggression
  • What this all means for women seeking trust, equality, and connection

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, excluded, or like your partner is loyal to everyone but you, this episode will validate your experience and help you see the broader system at work.

You’ll leave with clarity—not just about him, but about what you need and deserve moving forward.


Have you ever confronted a man about betrayal or abuse—only to watch other men go quiet, shift uncomfortably, or subtly take his side?

You’re not imagining it.

There’s a hidden code of loyalty among men that protects power, silences women, and keeps harmful patterns alive. In this 20-minute special edition episode, we take a deeper look at how that brotherhood operates—and why women are often left unsupported, even in spaces that claim to be safe.

You’ll learn how men close ranks without saying a word, how male loyalty mirrors narcissistic dynamics, and why this silence feels like betrayal—because it is.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
