Two powerhouses get radically honest about sister wounds, pedestal dynamics, loyalty, and what it actually takes to build calm, ride-or-die female friendships in your 30s. We go there: betrayal, trolling, comparison, nervous-system collapse, hard truths, better sex, more love, and more money, because the right best friend changes everything.
If you’ve been burned by women, can’t spot red flags until it’s too late, or feel like every friendship turns into emotional labor…this is your blueprint for healing, choosing better, and becoming the friend you want to attract.
We Cover:
“Platonic dating” is a thing. Intentionally sliding into a woman’s DMs to build friendship is courageous, and necessary as an adult.
Loyalty > vibes. Your closest friend should never sit in a room where your name is being trashed.
Pedestals are dangerous. Inferiority/superiority dynamics breed jealousy, entitlement, and eventual betrayal.
Neediness vs. nurturance. Reciprocity flows; score-keeping clings.
Functional freeze is real. You can be online and “fine” while shut down inside.
Keep the wound, lose the driver. You don’t have to erase your “sister wound,” just don’t let it steer the car.
Apologies without change = gaslighting. Repair needs behavior, not platitudes.
One quality friend can 10x your life. Shared values (loyalty, standards, ambition) create peace, polarity, and momentum, in love, sex, and business.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
