AMBERLYN MORGAN

Today, I speak with IFBB Pro Amberlyn Morgan, who’s an ICU nurse
and also offers online coaching. She started competing in 2015
and turned pro in 2020 at her 4th National show. We talk about
how Amberlyn’s journey to turning Pro and how a decision to stop
playing college soccer lead her to the bodybuilding. When she
learned about counting macros, it totally changed her
relationship to prep and she really started to thrive. Placing
last in a show made her rethink her “why” and the reason she was
competing. Amberlyn shares her experience as a nurse during COVID
and how stressful it was for her. Over time, she has found her
drive to continue competing by discovering self-belief in her
ability to succeed as a bikini competitor. Meditation and mindset
work allowed her to reach a new level of commitment to the
sport. 


 


Amberlyn shares why it’s so important to experience our feeling
instead of avoiding them in order to heal from traumatic
experiences. With her busy schedule, Amberlyn talks about the
importance of getting into a routine and using downtime
efficiently. We cover so many topics throughout this
conversation! Amberlyn has such a power story, you won’t want to
miss it!
