About Morgan

Me again. Hey!

With a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, I’ve dedicated my career to empowering women to live their best lives. After years of practicing as a therapist, I transitioned into coaching, where I’ve combined my passion for dance and fitness—something I’ve been teaching since 2006—into a holistic approach to health and well-being.

Having personally navigated my own journey through disordered eating and body image challenges, I understand the struggles many women face. I’ve developed a comprehensive system that integrates everything into one effective program.

You don’t have to search endlessly for solutions; I’m here to provide you with the keys to staying fit, healthy, and feeling absolutely fabulous in midlife. Let’s embark on this journey together! Schedule a call with me to find out if my coach program is exactly what you want in your life right now.

You don’t feel like yourself anymore and you don’t like it! I can help. Let’s talk about my coaching program. It may be exactly what you want in your life right now.

Are you tired of looking in the mirror and being horrified by the reflection staring back at you? The lines on your face, the extra weight—all of it feels like a cruel joke, a constant reminder of the aging you never wanted to confront.

You dread leaving the house, feeling like a shell of who you used to be, caught in an endless cycle of self-disgust and frustration. It’s time to stop letting the passage of time victimize you; instead, let’s flip the script together.

Book a call with me, and together we’ll reclaim your power, shift your mindset, and help you embrace this journey of aging with grace and strength.

Where it all began

2006

I walked into my first class of graduate school wearing black strappy stripper heels. Maybe not my best choice, and I was on a mission to represent where I was at in my life and prove I didn’t care what anyone thought about me.

2010

I graduated with my Master’s in Marriage & Family degree and secured a full-time job doing therapy at an outpatient mental health center.

2013

I decided to move to the Miami area. I was terribly unhappy in my life. I needed adventure and a drastic change in geography and career. I purchased the morganbarkus.com domain and started my online coaching business.

2015

I felt pressure to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up and start saving for retirement, so I decided to get a corporate job. I took coaching clients on the side, and I let most of my dreams go in favor of focusing on a stable paycheck.

2020

Took my corporate career to the next level even though there was an ache inside me to serve women in a coaching capacity. I deleted my YouTube channel and it’s 100’s upon 100’s of videos documenting my life because I didn’t want my authentic self to damage my corporate self.

2024

I launched myself back into my online coaching business and rebranded with Your Unapologetic Life. I started a podcast and started taking clients who missed how they felt prior to hitting their 40’s+.


And today I’m hoping you want me to be your coach. This aging thing is ROUGH. I can help.
