Bree Real

Bree Real is a stand-up comedian, mom of 10, foster mom, United States Air Force veteran, and former emergency room tech who has seen life from every angle. Through chaos, comedy, heartbreak, and healing, she’s learned one powerful truth: the women around her are extraordinary.

On Ladylike Rejects, Bree shares real conversations with women who have overcome failure, loss, reinvention, and doubt to build lives rooted in purpose. Many of these women helped shape who she is today.

Her mission is simple. To remind listeners they are not alone. To highlight resilience. And to prove that even when life rejects you, you can still rise.
