Summary
About the author
About the narrator

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.
