We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Bridget Frarer. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Bridget below.

Hi Bridget , thanks for joining us today. Are you happy as a creative professional? Do you sometimes wonder what it would be like to work for someone else?

I’ve actually lived the 9-to-5 life—and for a while, I thought that’s what success was supposed to look like. I followed the path of what I studied for, got the office job, and did everything “right.” But it all felt like a big scam to me. I was good at my job, but it was not fulfilling. It felt like I was showing up every day for something that didn’t light me up in fact, it really burnt me out. Eventually, I made the decision to leave it behind.

I think freelancers are often mischaracterized as people chasing fame or exposure, but that couldn’t be further from the truth for most of us. The reality is, many of us simply want to make money outside of the traditional 9-to-5. It’s really about wanting to create, express, and have the freedom to live life on our own terms, unconfined to traditional standards. And I personally love connecting with other like minded people!

So yes, I know what the “regular” job life feels like. And while I respect it, I also know that for me, choosing a creative path wasn’t just a career change—it’s when I really started living!

Bridget , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Hi! I’m Bridget—a University of Alabama graduate, entertainment industry professional, and the current Mrs. Florida Earth 2025. My journey has been anything but conventional, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I started my career on the traditional path, working a 9-to-5 job in the criminal justice field I studied. While I was successful on paper, I quickly realized that being good at something doesn’t mean it’s where you’re meant to stay.

What once was my side hustle brought me into the entertainment and pageant industries full time, where I found my freedom. Today, I work as a professional in the entertainment world—collaborating on projects that bring stories to life through media, modeling, event, and on-camera work. I travel, have fun and work at various events. I also use my platform as a titleholder to advocate for environmental health through my grassroots initiative, Girls Against Glyphosate. This movement focuses on raising awareness about the dangers of glyphosate-based pesticides and empowering communities to make healthier, more informed choices. The use of glyphosate on our soil is the main reason why the U.S. currently has the highest autism, infertility, and cancer rates.
I hope to help in being a voice for why we need to join the other countries who have banned glyphosate. Big or small – all voices matter and can make a difference on this topic!

What sets me apart is that I don’t see creativity and purpose as separate things—I weave them together in everything I do. Whether I’m having fun at an event, competing in a pageant, or speaking about environmental issues, I put authenticity first. I promote that you can be glamorous, girly, and green.
Girls Against Glyphosate is all about showing that you can be feminine, have fun, and still care about the environment. There is this stigma that environmental issues are only for “hippie” or the new term “crunchy” women and I’d like to help us steer away from those labels.

Today, I’m most proud of the way I’ve turned passion into purpose—by walking away from what didn’t serve me, standing firm in my values, and building a life that reflects who I truly am. Things really do fall into place when you have faith that there is more for you. You have to be brave enough to walk away from a life that is not what you really want.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

First, I didn’t ever focus on “building” my social media and I still don’t take this approach. I have a modest amount of followers compared to some of my influencer friends and that’s okay with me. Social media is a tool but it is not a personal goal of mine. It is also important to realize that the paths that are meant for you naturally unfold for you. My friends who have a lot of followers did not buy them, and they did not change who they are to get them. For me, I just like to post what I want when I want. My biggest advice to young girls is not to lose yourself in all of it. Keep your photos tasteful if you plan on working in the industry. Make sure you are always being yourself. Photos that are professionally edited by a photographer is the only kind of editing you need. Looking like your pictures is so important! We are all aging, we are all different, and all going through it together so just be you!

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

My real goal is to live a peaceful and purpose-driven life with my husband and dogs, one that’s grounded in faith. That sense of spiritual grounding helps me stay centered no matter how unpredictable life can be. I know there’s a plan already written out for me. I’ve done the hustle culture before, I bought my house alone at the age of 24 and enjoyed living by myself and working literally non stop, but now my priorities have changed.

My journey is also tied to my mission of continuing environmental work through Girls Against Glyphosate. I see that as part of my purpose, not just a project. Whether I’m working at a event, on set, on stage, or behind the scenes, I’m always thinking about how I can use my voice and platform to create positive change while staying true to who I am. I also have some exciting plans to continue to grow Girls Against Glyphosate so stay tuned!
