Bridget Hustwaite On Figuring Out Thirty & When To Quit The Dream Job

Bridget Hustwaite is an author, presenter, chronic illness advocate, and host. You might know Bridget from her seven years on Triple J, or from her books How to Endo and the recently released Figuring Out Thirty. In this episode of Culture Club, we sat down with Bridget in the studio to reflect on life in her 30s, what it means to grow into yourself, and why the “dream job” isn’t always what it seems.

We talk about Bridget’s early days at Triple J, the hustle behind the scenes, and the personal turning point that led her to step away from the country's most popular broadcaster. In this open and honest chat, Bridget shares what it’s like to live publicly with endometriosis, how it shaped her career, and what she’s learned about balancing ambition with chronic illness.
