“SAY GOODBYE
TO HATERS!
DON’T LET
ANYONE EVER
TELL YOU THAT
YOU CAN’T DO
SOMETHING!”
@MORGANBLONDEFIT
TRAINER: Mindi O’Brien (Team O’Brien)
FUN FACT: Favourite food is mac and cheese!
organ has fitness in
her blood—literally!
Her mom Holly,
used to compete and is still active
in fitness, and thanks to her, it’s
been a part of Morgan’s lifestyle
from the giddyup! Holly’s been a
huge fan and always encourages
Morgan, but that doesn’t mean it’s
been an easy path.
Morgan suffered with anxiety,
low self-esteem, depression and
shyness prior to her change in
career and her commitment to
fitness and competing. “I changed
careers to work on myself. I was
lost and now I have found fitness
to heal me. Competing is the one
thing that keeps my mind strong,
focused and away from negative
distractions and bad choices.”
Getting her body into shape
wasn’t Morgan’s biggest hurdle; it
was getting her mind strong and
learning to love herself again.
Morgan has been seriously
training with her coach Mindi
and nutrition coach Dennis for
just one year now. Their support
and encouragement has given her
a renewed sense of self and the
confidence to step on stage – and
that she did! “My first competition
was on May 5th, 2018. It was the
Mindi O Show with the Canadian
Physique Alliance and I placed 2nd
in Bikini Tall class and 3rd in Bikini
Novice Class.” She has since gone
on to take a 3rd place finish at the
GNC/Allmax Natural Classic in
June—it’s in the genes!
Morgan recognizes the gift she’s
been given—her passion for life
reignited and her inner strength
rebuilt, She is inspired to learn
more so that she can share and
support other young women who
suffer from anxiety, depression and
self-esteem issues. She loves being
part of a team and sees the value
in surrounding herself with like-
minded positive people that share
her new found passion. If she could
bottle up her enthusiasm and give
it away, she would. For now, she
will continue on her path and likely
inspire many along the way!
