bridget on LTK

Guys I keep waiting to feel like my old self again. And I’m starting to think she’s probably not coming back. But maybe that’s a good thing???

The past 15 months are a lot to process but God got me through those and I trust he will show up again. 🙏

Just know, if you’re struggling mentally, you’re not alone…I’m right there with you.

Prayers appreciated as I ease back into work and rebuild strength. Life is hard but God is good.

I love you so so so much.

P.s. thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the EMDR recommendations 🫶🏼

Ok guys I think I need a little encouragement here because… even tho I’m not totally done with treatment, I think I have decided I’m going to fake it till I make it and ring the bell 🔔

I don’t know why I make the world’s biggest deal about everything, always…but I do 🫣 and it’s just that the symbolism of ringing the bell is packed with very, very scary memories and emotions, most of which I’ve kept swept under the rug because I was way way way too sick to even process. Now that I’m starting to feel better, it’s all flooding in 🥹

I don’t want to look back, but I also know the only way out is through. So even though I don’t feel 100% “ready,” I’m hoping the bell can signal the beginning of a new chapter of healing. Or I don’t know, I just hope it does something to me emotionally and helps me heal. I’m trying to take a step forward.

I talked about this, but there’s this feeling I get during treatment when I hear someone else ring the bell. I burst into tears every. single. time. It gives me hope, but it also overwhelms me, because I know the hell on earth they just walked through and I wonder how they are feeling. Like really. It’s not easy to process all the emotions. 🥹

Anyways, in true Bridget fashion, without any real reason or logic whatsoever (plus 2 or 3 more treatments to go) I think, I might.

AND MAYBE IT’S NOT ABOUT ME.
Maybe it’s divine timing and it’s all for someone else.
Maybe I’m just the messenger of hope like so many people have been for me. P.s. I know it’s a blessing to even get to type this and I keep praising God for that. 🥹🩷 ily

Goodbye to the hardest year of our life. 🥹
2025, I won’t miss you, but deep down I know you taught me things I needed to learn. 💔
You broke me into a million pieces that I’m only starting to put back together, but somehow I survived. 🩷
And I have faith that somehow God will use all of this pain for His purpose.🩷
2026, nice to meet you.
I feel blessed to be here.

Ok wait for it but which hair THE LOB OR THE BOB?

from new york city, with love 🍎 big apple red - available now!

Uhm I think I scared everyone 🫣 but don’t worry l’ve been in bed since tea time recovering and replaying every moment!

Co-hosting with @jayshetty was truly an honor!
@drinkjuni stands for “just you and I” and that’s exactly what Jay and I wanted our guests to feel. Connected. Present. Joyful.

To my Dallas friends who made it there... I don’t even have the words. I haven’t been able to show up the way I’ve to this year, but you still showed up for me 🥹 Thank you! Really truly. I was so sick the day before but knowing you were gonna be there encouraged me. I’m so emotional, but you really touched me. I’ll remember it forever.

Also... this is the second time I GET to wear my @diniwigs I love her. She needs a name! I think I’m already ready for a second wig. What do we think... bright blonde or dark and mysterious?

I love you @kimperell , Jay, Team Juni and Dallas. Thank you for encouraging me to do this and believing that I could. We have to take teatime to another city someday! 🫶🏼

#LTKSeasonal #LTKStyleTip

my first shoot back at The Bar since January 👀
It kicked my BUTT 🧟‍♀️ but it meant everything to me to be there and get this done for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
🩷I went a little too hard and have been in bed all weekend but it was absolutely worth it. thank you @brookekorine @gracedbyyourpresence @stephe24 @TheWigFairy @Birch Event Design @glossipgirl @senadakxo and the best team for making this happen. 🩷💪🏼🙏🏼
💭caption below if you can’t read the screen bc same I’m cross eyed at this point 😭

💭 some things I’ve learned from having cancer (so far…)
🩷
literally everything I get to do is a privilege.
eating. sleeping. standing up.
🩷
and that includes things I used to complain about.
like “having” to get my nails done.
or “having” to wake up early for pilates.
now I can’t wait for the day I get to do those things again.
🩷
there’s power in reframing negative thoughts.
instead of “chemo makes me sick,”
it’s “chemo is kicking cancer’s ass.”
instead of “radiation makes me tired,”
it’s “radiation is finishing the fight.”
instead of “immunotherapy makes me nauseous,”
it’s “immunotherapy is saving my life.”
I’m lucky to live in a time where medicine exists to do that.
🩷
my old hair wasn’t as bad as I thought it was. I’m sure yours isn’t either.
you’ll look back at the photos you’re taking now
(the ones you’re picking apart)
and realize you looked really cute.
🩷
pain gives you empathy.
when you’ve suffered, you start seeing people differently.
you stop assuming.
you start listening.
🩷
and God doesn’t waste anything.
there’s purpose in pain.
I don’t know how,
but I know God will use it.
🩷

Ok but the end of this video!!! I HAVE NO WORDS 🥹 well we are definitely going to need some therapy…. i don’t know why radiation has been such an emotional roller coaster. Maybe because during chemotherapy I was too sick to even sit up.
🩷
Lying here in this big machine every day, arms strapped in above my head…. vulnerable and exposed. It forced me to surrender.
I had to let go of control. I’m not in control, and I’ve learned that I never really was.
🩷
My body has endured so much this year.
I feel sad. I feel shame. I feel guilt.
But I also feel loved, encouraged, grateful and most importantly, hopeful.
🩷
I also feel proud because I kept showing up. To be honest @drmikechiodo (https://www.instagram.com/drmikechiodo/) made me because at least three of the days I had full melt downs being like “please don’t make me go back” 🥹. I don’t know why. I think it’s the medically induced menopause or maybe it’s just everything at once. But I did it or well, he made me do it. 🫣 And I’m glad he did. And I keep trying to show up here too. Messy, raw, in tears, in pain.
Always searching for the little moments of joy. 🩷
Desperately seeking small wins. Believing this weird mess will help someone else. Spending the entire day everyday to rewire my brain to feel grateful. 🩷
But I’ve learned a lot about faith and hope. About surrender.
About trusting that even when you can’t see what’s next, God still can. 🙏

A little sneak peak of something special 👀🩷 GUYS IT’S THE LAST DAY OF RADIATION EVEEEEEEEE. 🩷

Let all of these videos be your reminder!!!! Check your girls and tell you girls to check their girls. Please lord protect and guide the 1 in 8 women who will face this diagnosis in their lifetime. May they find you on their path 🩷

To every fellow breastie in this fight, the ones who have survived, and the ones we miss every single day.
I see you.
I honor you.
You are braver than you know. I LOVE YOU 🩷 what’s the best thing that can happen

3 more daysssssssssss. And 8 lbs heavier 💪🏼

Sharing something small I’ve been doing that helps a lot !!!! I explain it in this video but basically it’s about surrendering my day and expectations of myself to God. Like, “hi God, there is absolutely no way I can do all of the things I have to do today…so I’m just going to get done what I can and please do not let me worry about the rest!!!!”

Physically, I feel like 🧟‍♀️🧟‍♀️🧟‍♀️ and I am definitely at max capacity. Like my body is like girl……ENOUGH! I’ve never felt tired like this. I don’t even think I knew what fatigue meant before this year. This is some next level zombie shit: wandering around, trying to get my post up, and then pass out as soon as humanly possible.

Every day is filled with tears, smiles, joy, a little dance, a huge radiation machine and every human emotion that exists. Especially grief. And then, we move on to the next day which is usually pretty similar.

With Breast Cancer Awareness month starting tomorrow, I have felt really inspired to get this done. There is purpose in this pain. 🩷 LET THIS VIDEO BE A REMINDER TO CHECK YOUR GIRLS 🩷

#LTKStyleTip #LTKFindsUnder100

What should I do? Does anyone have tips? I HAVE SEVERE social anxiety. 🫣 I’ve never had it and wow it’s hard. I think bc when my blood cell count is low I can get soooo sick and it just never feels worth it but now it became this like… I don’t know. 🤢 This paralysis. I’m so just so beyond words fatigued from radiation they said it gets really rough at the end and a little worse the two weeks after but THEN a month after I shouldn’t have radiation symptoms only chemo symptoms soooo YAAA (I think lol). 😵‍💫 I tried to ease back to a dinner with Mike but the hat kinda helped lol other than the hat I can’t think of what else to do I’m wide open for tips. Oh and because I forgot to say it… what’s the best thing that can happen?! I love you ♥️

Hi am I doing this right?! Please send every single tip and opinion on a wig!!! @diniwigs thank you for all that you do. This is such an important and meaningful work that directly impacts so many women and their confidence. I always thought wigs were so cool and I have always wanted one… (until I needed one…. And then I got very scared and nervous) so thank you Dini (and Chen)for making something really hard for me easier to digest. I feel excited. And I hope that one day soon I can also do something for women that also helps them feel more confident and beautiful.

when mike cries we all cry 🥹 + HOUSE TOUR!!!! 🏠 10 out of 15 days down ✔️A friend of mine recently asked what I’m most looking forward to after all of this, and I think I named them all in this video. One is just 94 days away…any guesses?! 👀 I better be better by then!! I’m exhausted (like my insides hurt) but all I can do is keep showing up and living for the hope of it all. What’s the best thing that can happen!!!!!!!

HALF WAY THERE!!!! Anddddd a special guest appearance in this video!!!!! OUR QUEEN!!! Love you so much!! Thank you for the constant support and encouragement. I’m spinning over here. But one foot in front of the other 💪🏼🙏🏼🩷I’m sure everyone reading this is going through something. So I hope this makes YOU feel seen. We all got our stuff. Something I REALLLLLY need to work on is becoming soft again. Being sick made is so scared and scared makes me worry and worrying makes me hard. So I am working on myself and trying to pray it all away and be better and more trusting of my body and my God every day. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I’m definitely as always a work in progress.

8 DAYS UNTIL I TAKE BACK MY LIFE: Biggest shoutout to my breastie Tiff for sharing her radiation video with us. I have been wanting to show you guys what I do here everyday but I’m not supposed to film so she let me post hers 🥹🫶🏼 Radiation has been a full blown emotional battle for me I have cried every single day, my body feels destroyed from the inside out and my heart breaks thinking of all of other women here. I just do NOT WANT ANY OF THIS FOR ANYONE 🩷 PLEASE let our stories be your reminder for self exams and check ups. Early detection saves lives Tiff you are AMAZING 🩷

#LTKSeasonal #LTKStyleTip

9 DAYS UNTIL I TAKE MY LIFE BACK: What’s hotter our house or our husband? But seriously guys I feel so bad. We try to treat everywhere we stay like our home. But the chimney was closed 🫣. The firemen did tell me it’s not the first time they’ve been at this house for this same thing and that made us feel a little better but still. 🫣😵‍💫 ahhhh Poor Mike. The guy has a lot going on. So grateful for him. Good news only 8 more days!!! One more day to half way.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKStyleTip

10 DAYS UNTIL I TAKE MY LIFE BACK 🤍 We moved!! “YOU CANNOT HEAL IN THE SAME PLACE THAT YOU WERE SICK” And no that does not mean I’m buying a house in the Hamptons but I 100% am trying to spin it that way 😂 Anyway, the point of the saying is more like… recovery requires a shift in what’s familiar and makes room for new mindsets and healthier rhythms and feelings. I dunno the moving my bed around the room in highschool thing really worked so I’m sticking to it. 🥹🩷

It’s also the exact same reason I haven’t worn perfume even one single time in the past year. I literally don’t want to be triggered by a smell. I actually had a dream the other night about putting on perfume 🥹 aww I’m gonna cry and probably smell like 2 miles away bc Im gonna be so excited. Bathe me in it Lord!!!! 🩷🙏🏼🩷 send new perfume recommendations PLEASE. 🙏🏼

Awwwww, wait. that’s a new thing I’m gonna do when I get to wear it again... I’m gonna think about being grateful every time I put it on because I know I must be having a wonderful day bc I’m NOT SICK and having a healthy day is automatically a good day!!! That I will want to remember eeeeeeeeeee single digits babyyyyy

TAKING MY LIFE BACK: Day 5. a little sweet treat for the Dr.Mike fan club if you make it to the end 🍑 butt (lol) I’m so happy! we did it!!!! 💪✅ eeeeee well... we did some of it... 5/15 and only 10 more to go to finish this step. also, did you hear the 🔔 bell?! be still my (medically
induced menopause) heart can only hold so many emotions at once 😭 I LOVE YOU only 10 more. What’s the best thing that could happen?!

13 DAYS UNTIL I TAKE BACK MY LIFE 🤍

Maybe the weight of everything is catching up with me. Maybe I’m grieving the version of the girl I used to be. I sure miss her.

I’ve been in survival mode for so long now. So much so that I’ve haven’t been able to stop and feel it.

And now it’s spilling out all over.

Maybe this is what the edge of a new beginning feels like. Faith is trusting that something beautiful is unfolding,
even when all I can see is the in-between.

To anyone standing here too, right as life hopefully turns into something new,
you are not alone.

I see you and I love you. 🤍

15 Days Until I Take Back My Life: Day 1. 🫠 Not me crawling into radiation like it’s Fashion Week… except the lighting is bad, the seats are worse, and the “model” (me) definitely can’t walk in heels. Fine, maybe @drmikechiodo is the real model in this relationship 😂 and my runway walk is just from the couch to the fridge 👀.

Anyway, fitting timing because I always cried at Fashion Week. I actually used to call it Fashion Weak 😭😂🫐

Stay for the little dance at the end (and those dimples I wish I could hide in for the next 3 weeks). But Lord, please let this touch whoever it needs to. May this help someone in a tough season feel less alone. Please, please: self exams 🙏🏼 because with breast cancer, EARLY DETECTION IS EVERYTHING. 🩷 Only 14 more to go 🙏🏼💪🏼😵‍💫

I feel so overwhelmed thinking about how hard this would all be without him and without you.

And until then I will be distracting myself … Need to give you a hair update… I’m so behind but, I mean… I’m kinda busy beating the “c” word. but guys I need to cut this hair it’s giving Morgan wallen when it’s down. What’s a cute SHORT haircut for me? I have a lot of hair on the top of my head but that’s it. None on the sides and the bottom is a single string. I’m grateful I kept hair. Kinda over the moon about it but I do need a cut and to get a wig. You can see how little the little bun that Mike puts up in this video (i always just put a big scrunchie around that to make it look like more).
