Show Notes

This week’s episode was with the legend that is Brooke Hoskin who is an ICN Bikini competitor from NSW.

I’ve followed Brooke’s competing journey for a while so it was really awesome to sit down and get to know her! It was amazing hearing how she went from ‘never competing again’ to ‘never slowing down!’ She’s truly found her place in the sport and I’m so bloody excited/happy for her.

Plus she’s just a hilarious legend!

In this episode, Brooke and I cover:⁠

  • Brooke’s recent comp wins and Nationals appearance
  • Back to back shows and applying judges feedback
  • Are you ready or even cut out for competing?
  • How Brooke went from ‘never competing again’ to winning to coming 2nd at Nationals
  • Blowing our after her first show and how she pulled herself out of a dark place
  • How Brooke fits it all in (spoiler: it involves 3am wake ups)
  • PCOS diagnoses + hormone management
  • Not being ready for her first show and the impact that had 
  • Being called ‘fat’ in her previous sport, which led her into fitness
  • Brooke’s competing plans
  • All about The I’m Sorry, What? Podcast

And SOOO much more!⁠
