Today I speak with IFBB Pro Brooklin Bade, a posing coach and aspiring aesthetician with a bachelors in health sciences. She was also in the military, but she found her passion was to help women become more confident with themselves. She started competing in 2020, becoming nationally qualified in her first show. In 2021, she competed in her first National show and earned her Pro Card in 2022 at Nationals. Brooklin shares her experience dealing with two autoimmune disease diagnoses and how they have changed her life. 

 

Brooklin is so open about her life experiences and how her journey through competing has helped her grow as a person.
