When I
Grow Up
About Book
I'm Bridget, and I'm embarking on an ambitious project: working 100 different jobs in one year for my upcoming book When I Grow Up (Wiley, 2026).
After a major life reset right before I turned 40, I decided to transform crisis into adventure by immersing myself in diverse careers across America. From thrilling to challenging to everyday occupations, each job will become a chapter in both my personal reinvention story and a larger exploration of what work means in our lives.
This isn't just about trying random jobs—it's about understanding how different types of work shape our identities and how stepping into someone else's professional shoes builds empathy and connection across companies, industries, and cultures.
If you'd like to be part of this journey by allowing me to shadow your work for 1-2 days, I'd love to hear from you. Every occupation has a story worth telling and helps make the world go round.
