No Dress Code

How much would it take? What are you keeping? And which answer are you prepared to defend? This week, Bree mixes several games into one episode. She names her price, eliminates favorites, explains her questionable preferences, builds her perfect day on a budget, chooses what she’d rather know, and decides what’s worth it versus overrated. Pick your answers as you listen, then send the episode to s...

Are you sticking with your first answer, or talking yourself into the other option? This week, Bree takes on a round of This or That. From everyday preferences to choices with a little more at stake, the fun is in deciding what matters—and which trade-offs you can actually live with. Pick your side and play along.

Bree is checking in with a quick update about work, Hoochie Weekend, and life lately. This episode is a break from the usual topics and fictional scenarios. There’s no bigger question to answer—just a casual conversation about what’s been happening recently. Follow the show and leave a rating or review if you enjoyed the episode. 🎙️ LISTENER SUBMISSIONS Got something you want us to discuss on the...

Would you give them another chance—or has that opportunity already passed? This week on No Dress Code Pod, Bree weighs in on fictional dilemmas about apologies, repeated mistakes, and letting people back into your life. Someone who disappeared wants to reconnect. A friend keeps canceling. A former employer wants you back. Somebody who hurt you says they’ve grown. What would you need to see before...

Would you tell your friend something uncomfortable—or decide it’s none of your business? This week, Bree reacts to fictional dilemmas involving loyalty, secrets, relationships, and the consequences of speaking up. A dating profile you weren’t expecting to find. A breakup somebody hasn’t announced. A future roommate with a history you know firsthand. Sometimes having the information leaves you with...

This week, Bree is putting herself on the spot with a round of “What Would You Do?” The situations are fictional, but the decisions feel familiar: an uneven dinner bill, a borrowed car returned with less gas, a friend who tells their partner your business, and plans that weren’t canceled quite as honestly as you thought. Would you say something in the moment? Would your answer change depending on...

You’re good at something, and here comes somebody telling you to sell it. But does every talent need a price tag? This week on No Dress Code Pod, Bree talks about turning what you love into work, the responsibilities that come with building a business, and whether a hobby is allowed to stay a hobby. From baking to podcasting, we’re getting into the excitement of earning from your talents—and every...

CJ and Patti are back—and this time, three questions somehow turned into an hour and a half of conversation. EP. 105 gets into what we actually owe the people we choose to be with. Does becoming someone’s partner automatically make them your first priority? How do you navigate watching your partner grieve an ex? And when we call someone a “provider,” what does providing actually mean beyond simply...

No Dress Code is officially three. 💜 This anniversary isn’t about retelling the entire journey—it’s about recognizing the growth that can happen when you keep showing up, even while you’re still figuring things out. Bree reflects on what three years of creating have taught her about her voice, her work, her faith, and the difference between being nearby and being truly supportive. The next chapte...

Aaron “Smooth” joins Bree for a conversation that starts with boxing and ends up going much deeper. They talk about Aaron’s journey as a professional boxer, the discipline required to keep growing in the sport, and what he’s learned while building his career. From there, the conversation shifts into personal growth, outgrowing environments, recognizing when people are only meant for a season, and...

Wanting a relationship doesn’t mean I want to be controlled. In this episode of No Dress Code Pod, I’m talking about the difference between wanting partnership and giving up your independence. I want a man. I want love, companionship, support, and somebody to build with—but I’m still my own person. Where’s the line between compromise and control? Between considering your partner and needing their...

CJ has the questions, Bree has the answers, and Episode 101 puts relationships under the microscope. This week, the conversation moves through trust, masculinity, emotional intelligence, boundaries, leadership, control, friendship, unconventional relationships, and interracial dating. But instead of looking for easy yes-or-no answers, Bree and CJ get into the gray areas that can completely change...

He’s still training, still sparring — but these days real estate’s the main event, and he’s undefeated 🥊➡️🏠 This week we catch up with @sonnymcewenla — still training, still sparring, but real estate is the main event these days. We talk what changed when the deal room became the priority, what boxing still gives him, and what it’s like building a whole new “undefeated” outside the ring. Find al...

If you’ve never been fired, never been broke, never publicly embarrassed yourself — what are you, a kiss ass? This week Bree unpacks her own firing history (it’s a lot), why the right kind of unbothered — the kind you earn by getting fired, broke, and embarrassed and still landing on your feet — beats the fake version any day. Also: cosplaying adulthood, googling how to do your taxes at 29, and th...

You already know him from the mirror pics. His wife and him are my official NDC’s Baked Goods taste testers. But we’ve never actually just sat down and talked — until now. This week I’m sitting down with Isaiah “Zay” Green and we’re getting into the rat race we call life. The blueprint we were all handed, what it costs to follow it, what it takes to build something outside of it, and why most peop...

Your favorite hoochie Bree is digging into the phrase that makes everyone’s stomach drop: “just following up.” This week we’re getting into CYA culture, the recap-of-the-recap email chain, and how knowing everything’s on record quietly changes the way we talk to each other at work — plus a personal “per my last email” story, Reddit/AITA takes, and a listener submission call. New episodes every Wed...

Part 2 is here. CJ and I are back to finish the conversation we started in Episode 93 — if you missed it, go back and listen first. This episode is the continuation and it picks up right where we left off. No recap, no hand-holding, just the rest of the conversation.   Follow the show so Part 2 lands right in your feed.   🎧 New episodes every Wednesday at 6AM 📩 nodresscodepod@gmail.com   Find CJ...

Juneteenth and Father’s Day fall on the same weekend and I had to talk about it. Juneteenth is finally getting the celebration it deserves — the block parties, the outfits, the BBQs, the culture. That part feels good. But Father’s Day? That one doesn’t hit the same for everybody. A lot of people didn’t grow up with an active, present father — and if you never had it, you might not even know what y...

CJ is back on No Dress Code Pod and this one got away from us — in the best way. We got deep into the conversation about who we really are online vs. who we’re pretending to be, and two hours later we still weren’t done. So we’re giving it to you in two parts.   Part 1 drops now. Tune in, pick a side, and come back for Part 2.   🎧 New episodes every Wednesday at 6AM 📩 nodresscodepod@gmail.com Fi...

Some episodes arrive exactly when they’re supposed to. Others take the scenic route. This conversation was recorded before “My 13th Reason” and captures a different headspace, a different season, and a different version of where I was mentally at the time. From traveling to Mexico and attending Top Off 2026 to reflecting on life, growth, and everything in between, this episode is a snapshot of mom...

This episode breaks down the moment everything feels like too much—but it’s never really one thing. It’s the buildup. The small stressors stacking until one random inconvenience hits and suddenly you’re at your limit. We talk about what it looks like when life doesn’t fall apart dramatically… it just keeps adding pressure quietly. From daily stress, emotional fatigue, and trying to stay discipline...

A conversation that moves from unexpected celebrity talk into how people judge relationships from the outside and the hypocrisy in how those judgments shift depending on who’s involved.
