Bridgette's recent publication, "Yes! I Am Fed Up. Now What? 4 Self-Driven Ways to MOVE Your Well-being and Work Forward", sets the foundation for the reader to scrutinize the heart of the issue—the factors causing their frustration. The aim is to stir awareness and motivate the reader to ponder, “Now What?”. Thereupon paving the path to formulate a strategic plan answering their “Now What?”.
Swift Query. Ever found yourself downright EXASPERATED with someone or something in your private or work life? Perhaps you didn't exactly articulate it as EXASPERATED, maybe you conveyed it as feeling overwhelmed or drained. The undeniable truth is, without conscious or intentional approach to shifting from that emotional condition, you will likely find yourself stuck precisely at that point of EXASPERATION, overwhelmed or drained, directly affecting your potential to BE the superior version of you.
Within her book, Bridgette introduces a poignant 4-step method intended to trigger awareness and guide your journey towards your "Now What?". These 4 steps - Self-Analysis, Self-Transformation, Self-Evolution, and Self-Narration—offer valuable insights into strategies and actions that can be deployed to scrutinize the areas of your life that you find ungratifying or unfulfilled—strategies that ultimately aid in unveiling effective means to alter your state of being, which optimally allows growth and aids in constructing the narrative that best represents your life.
As you delve into the book, Bridgette implores you to bear in mind these four powerful terms: master, omit, visualize, and execute, collectively forming the acronym 'MOVE'. Whenever she mentions 'MOVE', she is essentially using this book as a directive on how you can efficiently master, strategically omit, creatively visualize, and effectively execute things you need to sharpen, discard, envision, and materialize respectively, enabling you to evolve into the optimum version of yourself.
The book is interspersed with interactive exercises. It includes tailored worksheets in the final section, designed as a measurement tool for defining your MOVE progression. The concept of "under construction" is key as many times you have to dig deep and renovate, substitute, and remodel in order to efficiently mobilize yourself and MOVE ahead with focus and design. A standout feature of the book is the inspirational insights you'll get from five individuals who had a profound influence on Bridgette's odyssey to BE an enhanced version of herself.
Bridgette's book features exercise activities at the end of each chapter, designed to help readers discover practices they can incorporate into their own journeys of personal growth and transformation. Additionally, the book concludes with a section titled 'Your Under-Construction Worksheets.' If you purchase the Kindle edition, please reach out to Bridgette at hello@yesiamfedup.com to receive the PDF version of printable worksheets by email.

In the evocative work "Broken In Plain Sight," Bridgette beautifully delves into the universe of shattered hearts and bruised spirits.

Bert is haunted by self-reproach and remorse for failing to assist his dearly departed sibling, Saddie, when she was alive.
Uncle Bert's denial of aid to Saddie, a hard-working, young, single mother of four daughters, left her feeling devastated and helpless, unable to shield her children from the clutches of homicide, incest, physical maltreatment, and psychological disorders brought about by poverty. As Bert strives to reconstruct his family from their perilous conduct and destructive living patterns, secrets that could potentially shatter the family heritage start to unfurl.
