BRITTANY GILLESPIE

Today I speak with IFBB Pro Brittany Gillespie, a NICU nurse with
a bachelors in healthcare studies and bachelors in nursing. She
started competing in 2018 was the 2021 NPC Nationals Overall
Winner where she earned her Pro Card. As a newer competitor, she
still feels like she is finding her groove on stage. She talks
about dealing with other people’s expectations in the process of
getting her Pro Card and how she has approached her season since
then. Brittany tells us how she handled traveling between shows
and the emotions she felt with that.


 


As a NICU nurse, Brittany works overtime and night shift most of
prep, she she really had to have her routine down to a science.
She talks about the struggles she has working in a hospital and
the food that people bring in to share.
