Meet Bree Frye

We recently connected with Bree Frye and have shared our conversation below.

Bree, so great to have you with us and we want to jump right into a really important question. In recent years, it’s become so clear that we’re living through a time where so many folks are lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. So, we’d love to hear about your journey and how you developed your self-confidence and self-esteem.

Confidence was something that came seemingly easy for me, as my mom always instilled it in me from a young age. I was always taller, thicker, and quirkier than my peers and she taught me to lean into all of that! We spent countless days watching America’s Next Top Model, and she always reminded me not to shrink myself when I enter a room, but to command it.

We also moved a lot. Almost every year, I switched schools, which meant I was constantly the “new girl.” My personality, sense of humor, and confidence helped me make friends wherever I went. Being exposed to so many different people, cultures, and environments made me comfortable and confident in my ability to connect with people from all walks of life and that only deepened my confidence.

Self-esteem was a little different, though. For a long time, I thought confidence and self-esteem were the same thing but they’re not. They’re more like cousins. On the outside, I wore the illusion of high self-esteem through a “fake it ‘til you make it” mask. My family and friends always had a way of gassing me up and putting me on this high pedestal but ironically, that same pedestal fed my low self-esteem. I was constantly afraid I wouldn’t live up to everyone’s expectations. It wasn’t until I started challenging myself, really facing my own fears and weaknesses, that I began to see the value and worth I truly held.

Looking back, I can now say that becoming a mom was one of the biggest self-esteem boosters of all. I remember, shortly after having my daughter, I didn’t feel like myself at all. Postpartum depression had taken over, I was in an unhealthy relationship, I was in the darkest place I’d ever been. I was on the phone with my best friend when she said, “I can’t take this anymore. I can’t stand to see you like this. This just isn’t you.”

It was in that moment I looked in the mirror and saw what she saw. I made a vow then and there, my daughter would always experience the absolute best version of me, no matter what. I didn’t want her to just hear about who her mom used to be, I wanted her to see exactly who I was. She is a direct reflection, a miniature version of me, and I couldn’t imagine letting her navigate this world without showing her how to be the strongest, most confident version of herself by first being that version myself.

In the end, both my confidence and self-esteem were shaped by experience but it was the decision to show up fully, for both myself and my daughter, that truly brought them into alignment.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

I’m the founder of Just Breeze Cleaning & Organizing, a company rooted in the belief that life feels lighter, like a breeze, when your space is clean, clear, and energetically aligned. But that’s just one layer of who I am.

I’m also a content creator, stand-up comedian, and digital strategist. Whether I’m holding a mic, a mop, or a mouse, I show up as my full self which is honest, passionate, and intentional about impact.

What makes my work special is the emotional clarity behind it. I’m not just cleaning homes, I’m helping people reset their lives. I’m not just creating content, I’m telling stories that reflect the humor and chaos of real life. I’m not just creating a website or logo, I helping a business owner with strategies to build generational wealth and freedom for their families.

I’ve always moved through the world with personality, heart, and a lot of perspective, especially from navigating things like single motherhood, personal reinvention, and most recently, healing from a major surgery that was a slight set back for the past year.

Therefore, right now my focus is rebuilding and expanding, with clarity. I’m in the process of creating more digital products that will be helpful for all my audiences, expanding my admin/creative support and marketing services, and building my online portfolio to attract more long-term clients. Living abroad is also in the thoughts as I’ve always wanted to live and work abroad, and that dream hasn’t left me.

Even while healing, I’m planting seeds and I want people to know, it’s okay to pause, to pivot, to start again. As many times as you need to. I’m building brands that don’t just sell services but embodies real life and real energy shifts. Whether I’m cracking a joke, clearing a space, or crafting a brand strategy, it all comes from the same place—a desire to help people breathe easier.

While I don’t have any live shows scheduled at the moment, readers can look forward to the upcoming launch of my podcast, Misfit Moms Unscripted. A space where I dive deeper into my personal (and very honest) experiences navigating life as a single mother, building businesses from the ground up, and choosing to do things my own way, even when it goes against the grain. It’s all about creating a better future for myself and my daughter by facing life’s challenges head-on, reflecting on where I’ve been, and owning where I’m headed.

And of course, if you ever need a dose of humor, heart, or real talk, you can always find me on social media @BreeNotAComedian 🙂

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

Looking back, the three qualities that have had the most impact on my journey are resilience, confidence, and creativity. Each one has shown up differently at various stages of my life, but together, they’ve been the backbone of everything I’ve built and everything I’ve survived.

Resilience helped me keep going through instability, single motherhood, heartbreak and even moments where I didn’t recognize myself. It’s not just about being “strong” but being willing to bend without breaking, to rest and reset as many times as needed without quitting.

Confidence was something I had to redefine over time. It started with what was instilled in me by my mom, owning my quirks, standing tall, commanding a room. But true confidence came when I started honoring my truth, not just putting on a brave face. It’s what allowed me to stop performing and start showing up fully, flaws and all.

Creativity is what keeps me dreaming. Whether I’m building a business, creating content, or cracking jokes on stage, it’s my way of turning chaos into connection. It’s how I express truth and heal through storytelling.

And if I had to add one more ingredient to the mix, it would be honesty with myself. The kind that makes you confront your patterns, admit what you’ve outgrown, and own your story without shame. That level of truth-telling is what helped me stop performing perfection and start living in alignment with who I really am.

My advice?
Start with honest self-inventory. Learn what you value, what you fear, and what excites you. You have to find your “why”. What makes you want to get up every morning even when it feels impossible. That’s your foundation.

Practice being uncomfortable on purpose, you grow by doing things you’re not quite ready for. Get real about your habits, your triggers, your dreams, even if it’s messy or painful. You can’t heal or build from a version of yourself you’re not willing to face. And lastly create something. A plan, a post, a product, anything. The more you create, the more you’ll uncover your own voice and power.

Most importantly: give yourself permission to live life on your own terms. That might mean taking the long way, moving away from everything and everyone you know, doing it differently than others, or starting over more than once. But freedom and fulfillment come when you stop chasing someone else’s path and start walking your own, unapologetically.

Early in the journey, it’s easy to feel like everyone else has it figured out. But trust me, most people are just winging it with better lighting. Build slowly, stay grounded, and focus on your own lane. God picked you for this journey because he knew you could grow through it and build a beautiful life for yourself should you stay the course and trust the process. Never be deceived by what you see.

Before we go, maybe you can tell us a bit about your parents and what you feel was the most impactful thing they did for you?

The most impactful thing my parents did for me was allowing me to heal out loud. When I became pregnant with my daughter, I sat my parents down and shared how I wanted to create a different dynamic for her. Through that conversation, both of my parents committed to making personal improvements to become the best versions of themselves for my child.

Seeing their changes gave me the courage to have those uncomfortable conversations about how their actions while I was growing up affected me. Through each stage. They created a safe space where I could turn over every stone hiding old, dark secrets and I received apologies that I know many of my peers only dream of.

Their willingness to grow and support me helped console and heal my inner child making me a stronger woman, a better mother and ultimately creating the first step to breaking generational curses.
