Today we’d like to introduce you to Bridget Frarer.
Hi Bridget, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Absolutely! I graduated from the University of Alabama and immediately got a job in the criminal justice system for about four years. After realizing I had been neglecting my creative side I swtiched gears and pursued a career the entertainment industry full time. Having made lasting connections in modeling and acting for my market area along the way, I also discovered a love for pageantry. I became curious of the pageant industry as well and wanted to learn more about it. My best friend who is a experienced title holder has helped coach me and learn the ropes of it all. Competing in pageants has given me a platform to combine confidence, advocacy, and community impact. I currently hold the title of Mrs. Florida Earth 2025 and represent my grassroots initiative, Girls Against Glyphosate, which raises awareness about the dangers of glyphosate-based pesticides in public health, soil quality, and biodiversity. Today, I’m continuing to use my voice to uplift girls and advocate for environmental change. I believe I can help redefine what it means to be a modern woman, and show others that there is no right or wrong path in life, only the one that is real and true to you.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Leaving a job I went to school for was definitely tough, I made that decision in my mid-twenties. At the time, it felt like a confusing setback—but now, I’m incredibly grateful I chose to walk away from something that no longer served me. I feel that we put a lot of pressure on young people to have a degree or path picked out right away, and the truth is for a lot of us who went to college right after high school – it was too soon. While I absolutely see the value in education, I don’t believe a college degree is the only path to success. Having experienced both sides, I’ve come to value real-world experience more than education. What you learn in a college classroom often doesn’t translate to how things operate in the real world. I’ve also learned that just because you are good at a job it doesn’t mean you should stay in it!
Navigating the entertainment industry taught me how to keep showing up. I’ve learned that the right doors do eventually, and naturally open. But you have to be your authentic self. People in the industry can tell when you are not being you. And if you are showing up as yourself and still feel like you aren’t being seen, it doesn’t mean there is something wrong with you- that is just not your room.
Pageantry has also brought its own set of challenges and setbacks —but those experiences helped me grow more confident, strong, and connected to my purpose. To any girls who wish to start competing, just know in some systems you will get to the top, some you may not even place. You are at the discretion of the judges. Keep competing to get in front of people, to walk in front of them, to talk in front of them. And soon no matter the results- you will become unshakeable! That is what pageantry teaches.
Lastly- starting Girls Against Glyphosate came with it’s own hurdles; advocating for environmental health often means facing resistance or skepticism. Every challenge has reaffirmed why I started: to make an impact, to uplift others, and to stay true to my values. You can be glamorous, modern, and green!
At the end of the day, I believe God has a path already laid out for me—it’s just up to me to surrender and walk in it.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
My life is a unique blend of creativity, advocacy, and fun! I advocate for environmental health with a focus on my grassroots initiative, Girls Against Glyphosate. It’s a movement dedicated to educating about the dangers of glyphosate-based pesticides and encouraging safer, more sustainable alternatives. I work with multiple non profits, one of my favorites being Kiss the Ground based in Los Angeles. I love being trusted in fundraising and supporting their cause to promote more sustainable and organic agriculture.
What I’m most proud of is using my voice to create impact—not just on a stage, but in real communities. Whether I’m collaborating on a creative project, speaking about environmental issues, or helping smaller local non profits, my goal is always to inspire others with my platform. I am grateful to have the support of my loving husband and family along the way! In addition to this I have really enjoyed taking event work, traveling, modeling, and acting with some of my closest friends!
What sets me apart is my ability to bridge seemingly different worlds together—entertainment, event work, advocacy, and pageantry—and bring authenticity to everything I do. I stand firm in my values, and I genuinely love helping others shine.
Can you talk to us a bit about the role of luck?
I think luck meets you where you already are. There have been moments where I was in the right place at the right time or connected with someone who opened a door for me. In any scenario luck can definitely give you a boost, but it’s the work you put in behind the scenes and your consistency in building connections that really matters. Personal appearance and the way you carry yourself can get you into a room but when the real players show up, it is who you are that helps keep you there.
