I talk all the time about guests who I’ve long time followed, first time called and how lovely it is to finally have a proper chat with someone you’ve admired from afar for so long. But then there’s guests who I’ve admired from up much closer and been lucky to know for years, always meaning to have them on the show without us ever actually getting around to it.
Today’s guest is one of those who I actually think might have been on the very FIRST dream guest list when I started back in 2018 and both of us still can’t believe it’s taken us this long to sit down properly. There are many preconceptions you might have about someone whose stunning looks landed them in a hugely successful modelling career kicking off with Australia’s Next Top Model then taking them around the world, but Brooke Pitt defies them all as one of the most humble, well adjusted people going around.
We met her as Brooke Hogan, but many of you will have followed her ensuing journey from modelling into business with Le Mon Swimwear and now co-founding the incredible pilates studio and online platform, Our Pilates, as well as huge brand partnerships including her role as an ambassador for Bellamy’s Organic. Our industry can be a funny one seeing people out and about many times over the years without ever having the chance to properly chat, but I’ve always left Brooke wishing we had more time together and we have especially bonded becoming boy mums running businesses around the same time.
Part of that bonding was over the challenges we both faced along the way, with Brooke so generously her long journey with IVF to finally having Billy. Nothing could be more special than sitting down for this episode just days before she recently announced she is pregnant with her second little one and wading through the beautiful mess of emotion that comes with it.
I won’t share any more here, but I loved every minute of this chat - I am so grateful to this show for allowing me a whole hour to crawl into people’s brains and learn what motivates them, challenges them and excites them on their way to finding yay. And even having known her for years now, Brooke surprised and delighted me in so many ways - I think so much of who she is does shine through on socials but I learned so much more today. I hope you guys enjoy this one as much as I did!
