Figuring Out Thirty
Decoding the decisive decade (and what really matters)
Bridget Hustwaite
- When
- Bridget
- Hustwaite
- blew
- out
- her
- thirtieth
- birthday
- candles,
- she
- had
- no
- idea
- of
- the
- profound
- changes
- that
- awaited
- her
- in
- this
- new
- decade.
- Instead
- of
- ticking
- off
- the
- traditional
- expectations
- (buy
- a
- house,
- get
- married,
- start
- a
- family),
- Bridget’s
- list
- of
- early
- thirties
- life
- moments
- looked
- wildly
- different
- to
- what
- she
- anticipated.
- Her
- long-term
- relationship
- of
- five
- years
- had
- just
- ended,
- she
- said
- goodbye
- to
- her
- dream
- job,
- was
- diagnosed
- with
- ADHD
- and
- became
- a
- lockdown
- dog
- mum.
- And
- that
- was
- just
- the
- beginning
- .
- .
- .Figuring
- Out
- Thirty
- covers
- the
- big
- questions
- we
- ask
- ourselves
- as
- the
- defining
- decade
- looms.
- How
- do
- we
- know
- the
- decisions
- we’re
- making
- for
- our
- futures
- are
- the
- right
- ones
- for
- us,
- and
- not
- what
- society
- expects
- of
- us?
- Is
- marriage
- still
- relevant,
- and
- how
- do
- we
- decide
- if
- we
- want
- to
- have
- children
- –
- and
- when?
- Do
- our
- dream
- careers
- have
- expiration
- dates?
- And
- why
- do
- our
- friendships
- hit
- different
- now?In
- her
- characteristically
- warm
- and
- relatable
- style,
- Bridget
- brings
- together
- collected
- wisdom
- from
- her
- hit
- podcast
- of
- the
- same
- name
- to
- deliver
- wide-ranging
- perspectives
- on
- crossing
- the
- threshold
- from
- our
- twenties
- to
- our
- thirties,
- and
- all
- that
- comes
- with
- it.
- Along
- the
- way
- she
- shares
- her
- frank,
- hard-earned
- lessons
- about
- what
- really
- matters
- at
- this
- time
- in
- our
- lives,
- and
- how
- we
- can
- navigate
- the
- ups
- and
- downs
- while
- staying
- true
- to
- ourselves.
- As
- you’ll
- discover,
- there
- is
- magic
- to
- be
- found
- in
- things
- not
- going
- exactly
- to
- plan.'Funny,
- feminist
- and
- authentic.'
- Hannah
- Ferguson'Refreshingly
- real.'
- Laura
- Henshaw'A
- millennial's
- modern-day
- toolkit
- wrapped
- in
- a
- warm
- hug.'
