Rising Stars: Meet Brooke Pitman of Wyoming

Today we’d like to introduce you to Brooke Pitman.

Hi Brooke, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My story is all over the place, but in the best way. I’ve always wanted more for myself, even when life didn’t make that easy. I’m from a small town in Ohio, and honestly, growing up wasn’t the easiest. I’ve dealt with a lot from mental health struggles like BPD and ADHD to toxic relationships and the kind of trauma that forces you to either sink or swim.

Pageantry is what helped me start believing in myself. I’ve been competing for over four years, and holding the title of Miss Supreme Ohio was such a full-circle moment. It taught me confidence, how to walk into a room and own who I am, and how to use my voice not just for me, but for other girls who feel like they’re not enough.

Around the same time, I got certified as a personal trainer and started BFit with BPit. Fitness became a way to take control of my life. I was tired of feeling stuck, and the gym helped me feel strong again physically, mentally, and emotionally. Now I help others feel that too.

I’m not perfect, and my life is still messy sometimes, but I’m proud of how far I’ve come. I want to be the kind of person people can look at and think, “If she got through all that, maybe I can too.” That’s really what it’s all about for me.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It hasn’t been a smooth road. I’ve dealt with a lot, from growing up with emotional trauma and abandonment, to living with BPD and ADHD, to surviving a toxic relationship that left me with PTSD. I’ve struggled with my mental health, money, self-worth, and feeling like I wasn’t enough more times than I can count.

Every setback shaped me. They made me stronger, more real, and gave me a reason to help others feel seen and supported, whether that’s through fitness, pageantry, or just being honest about what I’ve been through. It hasn’t been easy, but I’m proud of how far I’ve come.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m a content creator, personal trainer, and pageant queen — but more than that, I’m passionate about showing up authentically and helping others feel seen. My content blends fitness, mental health, and pageantry because those are the biggest parts of my life and my journey.

I create content that’s real, the good, the bad, the ugly. Whether it’s a gym reel, a glammed-up or a pageant post, I try to be the kind of creator I needed when I was younger. I’m known for being vulnerable, not just a highlight reel.

I’m most proud of the fact that I’ve built a platform where people feel safe. I’ve had girls DM me saying they relate to my story or that I made them feel less alone, and that means everything to me. I’ve also had the chance to work with some amazing brands like Prozis, Good Molecules, Urban Decay, Built Bar, and more, and I’ve done it all by staying true to who I am.

What sets me apart is that I’m not trying to be perfect. I’m just trying to be me, and I think people connect with that. I talk about the hard stuff. I share the messy moments. I remind people that growth isn’t linear and that healing, confidence, and strength take time. And that’s what I hope comes through in everything I create.

Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
What I love most about our city is the sense of community. Everyone kind of knows everyone, and there’s a certain pride in being from here; it feels like home. People show up for each other, and there’s a lot of heart in that. Plus, there’s something special about growing up in a small town where your roots mean something. For me, it’s tied to family and legacy. My grandpa was known as “Mr. Wyoming,” so being from here is part of who I am.

What I like least is how small towns can come with small mindsets. Sometimes it feels like people are quick to judge or hold onto who you were instead of seeing who you’re becoming. There’s not always a ton of room to grow or make mistakes without people talking, and that’s been hard.
