So this wasn’t supposed to be an episode… but Hoochie Day deserved one. 🥂The vibes were vibing — the lamb chops were hitting, the lemon drops were flowing, and honestly? It felt good to just celebrate me for once. No drama, no fake energy, just good people, good food, and good energy all around.In this episode, I’m recapping everything — the chaos before the party, the energy during it, and the quiet after everyone left. Somewhere between laughter and exhaustion, I realized: I really built this. A space that feels like joy, growth, and peace… with a side of hoochie.Oh, and yes — desserts by @ndcsbakedgoods and decorated by @dezyretobehappy (because the details mattered, baby).
I always say I mind my business — which is true. But somehow, my business never minds me.In this episode, I talk about finally cutting DAN off and what it actually feels like to detach without the drama. It’s funny, a little reflective, and probably uncomfortably relatable if you’ve ever tried to convince yourself you’re “over it.”Tune in for some quiet honesty, self-dragging humor, and the reminder that sometimes silence is the loudest move you can make.
I’ve been in a funk lately — not depressed, just… quietly struggling. Between juggling multiple side hustles, experimenting with baking, and trying to keep it all together, life has been messy but real. In this episode, I’m sharing what it feels like to be stuck in your own head, survive quietly, and still try to make progress. Expect laughs, small wins, and the chaos that comes with being your own boss.Follow along and keep up with the journey:baking: http://instagram.com/ndcsbakedgoodshttp://instagram.com/nodresscodepodhttp://tiktok.com/nodresscodepodhttp://twitter.com/nodresscodepod
This week, I’m talking about how no matter how low-key I try to be, my name somehow finds its way into conversations, situations, and drama I didn’t even sign up for. From my so-called “toxic traits” in relationships (let’s be honest, some of y’all can relate) to what it’s really like thriving as an introvert in a remote-work world — plus a few tangents along the way — we’re unpacking just enough to keep it real, keep it light, and keep it moving.Listen, laugh, and maybe drag yourself a little while you’re at it.✨ Follow along:TikTok: @nodresscodepodTwitter: @nodresscodepodInstagram: @nodresscodepodBaking page: @ndcsbakedgoods
CJ joins me for an open, free-flowing conversation about what it really means to grind for yourself. We discuss hustle culture, working for others while building personal dreams, staying authentic online and offline, and the realities of relationships. The episode touches on current culture, including Charlie Kirk, and dives into separating the noise from what truly matters, finding balance, and carving your own path without losing yourself.https://l.instagram.com/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fallmylinks.com%2Flatenightcj&e=AT2Ag2GjjSnpCQ0V0g9YbA09V8fUy-rEwhfb91D5q6HceWFT0GnALb05VNR3gqpcNVb8A7jswFpYkbXe9y8hf8DOCL4jcrC0vLWvTOKLtrzOOZKJbhk7nEs3_yrs

Ever stop and think about some of the “normal” things people do that actually make zero sense? This episode is me unpacking all the weird social habits, unspoken rules, and little mind games that get passed off like they’re just how things are — but honestly? They’re not.From awkward group dynamics to those moments when you’re expected to show up but really don’t want to, we’re calling it out. No judgment, just honest observations and a little side eye for the nonsense we keep letting slide.Hit me up and keep the convo going:TikTok: @nodresscodepodInstagram: @nodresscodepodTwitter: @nodresscodepodAnd don’t forget the baked goods: @ndcsbakedgoods
We love to talk about grace — but only when we’re the ones who need it. In this episode, I’m breaking down the double standard: how “healing” culture gives everyone room to grow until the wrong person makes a mistake. Let’s talk about the way grace is used like a buzzword, the difference between real softness and selective softness, and why boundaries don’t mean bitterness. If you’ve ever been expected to be gracious while getting none in return, this one’s for you.Follow the pod:TikTok: @no.dress.cod.podInstagram: @nodresscodepodTwitter/X: @nodresscodepod
You ever find out your name was brought up in a room you weren’t even invited to? Yeah, that’s where this one’s coming from.In this episode, I’m unpacking what it feels like to constantly hear your name in conversations that don’t concern you. Whether it’s someone making a slick comment about how I showed up to an event (even though I was minding my business), or hearing I got mentioned at a party I didn’t even know about — it’s been a weird little streak of fake energy.There’s also been some messy moments lately where people are clearly using my name to get reactions out of others — and I’m just not here for it. I’m not getting too deep, because this isn’t about the drama — it’s about that feeling. Of being misunderstood, misrepresented, and honestly just tired of fake energy.If you’ve been there too, this one’s for you.🎧 New episodes drop regularly.👀 TikTok: @no.dress.cod.pod🐦 Twitter: @nodresscodepod📸 Instagram: @nodresscodepod
We’ve all heard the phrases.“God helps those who help themselves.”“Everything happens for a reason.”“God won’t give you more than you can handle.”…Sounds biblical, right? Except it’s not.In this episode, I’m joined by Pastor Welton Pleasant — aka WP3 (@itswelltonwithmysoul). Together, we’re breaking down the popular sayings people swear came from scripture… but actually didn’t.We’re talking:Why people cling to cultural sayings that sound like gospelWhat the Bible really says — without the Instagram theologyHow accepting God is less about rules and more about relationshipAnd why hell isn’t a punishment… it’s a choiceOne of the most surprising moments? WP3 explaining that God’s not “sending people to hell.” He’s just honoring the choice you made. He’s respecting your boundaries. Let that sink in.This conversation might shift how you see God, eternity, and the idea of consequences. Whether you’re deep in faith or still figuring things out, this episode is for you.Save it. Share it. And let it sit with you.
Life ain’t what I pictured, but here we are. This week’s episode isn’t deep — it’s just real. I’m mentally overwhelmed, physically underwhelmed, and honestly? Just figuring it out like everyone else. If you’re feeling the same, you’re not alone.New episodes every Wednesday.

Dating isn’t broken — I just don’t want the job.In this solo episode, I talk about why I stepped out of the dating scene and how good it feels to stop performing interest I don’t actually have.This isn’t about giving up or being bitter. It’s about choosing peace, clarity, and your damn self.We get into dating fatigue, the pressure to be “available,” and the freedom that comes when you stop confusing attention with affection.If you’ve ever ghosted the apps just to breathe again — this one’s for you.—🖤 Subscribe to No Dress Code for real conversations with no performance📍 New episodes weekly📧 For guest inquiries or partnerships: nodresscodepod@gmail.com📲 Follow @nodresscodepod on IG, TikTok, and YouTube
I cried for two days straight. Took breaks ‘cause I had stuff to do—but every chance I got, I was in tears. I accidentally reformatted my external hard drive while trying to set up a new one I bought from TikTok (yes, it was a scam). I lost two unreleased episodes… and multiple ones I already put out.This episode isn’t polished. It’s just honest. It’s about the grief of losing something you built. The quiet moment when you realize nobody’s coming to fix it. And the choice to rebuild anyway.If you’ve ever had to pick yourself up after something really knocked you down, I see you. And this one’s for you.
This one’s for the group chats and the “I would never… but actually, maybe I did” moments. We’re talking loyalty, girl code, and the gray-ass areas of dating — when it’s not technically cheating, but it’s definitely not clean.From wild stories to real reflections, Episode 60 with @monique_bonafide is a rollercoaster of laughs, cringes, and “wait… what did she just say?” moments.New episodes every Wednesday.
