We're redefining bad b*tch energy this week: strong enough to receive help! Alo shares how she finally let Juan step in after years of trying to do it all on her own. Brook opens up about still being in her "I'll do it myself" era (and why that isn't the flex it looks like).

We talk soft girl energy vs. hyper-independance, fighting fair (words you can't unsay), the "weird" things we each do that make our relationships grow, and why sharing a bank account with Luis is Brook's next step toward real partnership. Plus our top four must-haves in our relationships: intimacy (physical & non-physical), humor, loyalty vs. truth. and music.

This week, things get raw and unfiltered as Alondra gives Brook a nail fill and the conversation takes a deep turn. Brook opens up about burnout, low views, and even the accident that left her with staples in her head. Alondra comforts her, keeps it real, and (with love) calls her out for ghosting when things get tough.

From in-law drama and family boundaries to Brook’s vulnerable story about her birth mom leaving when she was a baby — and how it still impacts her views on marriage — nothing is off limits. Alondra shares her own perspective on setting strong boundaries, giving a powerful contrast.

An episode that’s real, emotional, and completely unfiltered 💗

In this episode, we’re laughing (and cringing) over our biggest dating icks—Alondra remembers when Juan used to wear gloves so his sweaty hands wouldn’t touch hers, and Brook relives the nightmare of a flip-flop hike with a guy who totally fell apart over poison oak.

But it’s not all laughs! We also get real about the lessons we wish we knew in our early 20s. Brook opens up about regretting moving in with boyfriends too soon and how her mom leaving when she was just a year old may have shaped her need for male attention in her younger years. Alondra shares how a sick puppy led her to move in with Juan and his family, and why she’s glad she lived on her own first to build the security of knowing she could take care of herself.

We also reflect on what it means to grow in love. Brook talks about wanting to embrace a more traditional role in her engagement while still running a business, while Alondra reflects on being with Juan for more years than she hasn’t and how being surrounded by his affectionate family helped her unlearn old patterns and discover new ways of giving and receiving love.

It’s a mix of hilarious dating stories, vulnerable confessions, and the truths we’ve learned as we’ve stepped into our 30s.

In Episode 5, Alondra and Brook get real about the unexpected ways their careers took off. Alondra shares gambling stories with her favorite Tia, her journey doing nails for the Sacramento Kings, their wives, the Murillo Twins, and almost failing her state board exam. Brook opens up about how a gambling win helped fund her first viral haul, how reinvesting her first major brand check into strategic hauls grew her TikTok career, and what it’s like being recognized in public (and dealing with hate videos).

This one is equal parts funny, chaotic, and inspiring. You won’t want to miss it!

This week on AB&C, Alondra shares the marriage advice from Juanito’s parents that’s kept her finances drama-free. Brook spills on the viral $1 store haul that blew up for all the wrong reasons and the advice she ignored afterward.

From money lessons to viral drama to life advice that actually works, this episode is packed with real talk, candid confessions, and moments that might just have you rethinking the advice you’ve been given.
