Meet Heather Haws
Founder of The Bridgework Project
I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to show you what you already know.
I’m not a therapist. I’m not a coach in the traditional sense.
I’m a crow. A dragon. A collector of truths and misalignments. A sculptor of systems using found experiences.
For 20 years, I worked in tech, always between disciplines, connecting people, filling in gaps no one else saw. Only after a late-in-life diagnosis did I realize: that wasn’t just my job. It was how my brain works.
Bridgework has always been the work. Now, I do it with intention.
What I’m not:
I’m not here to hand you a 10-step plan.
I’m not here to make you “high performing.”
I’m not here to tell you to fix yourself to fit a broken system.
What I am:
I’m here to help you notice the misalignments.
To help you name the unseen truths.
And to support you as you build something better.
What I’ve discovered is this: you are not the problem. The systems weren’t built for you. But that doesn’t mean you’re broken.
Bridgework isn’t something I invented—it’s something I uncovered. A kind of connective tissue between what is and what could be. It lives in people who are constantly adapting, translating, and repairing without recognition. I see you. You’ve been doing bridgework your whole life. I’m just here to name it, nurture it, and offer tools to do it without burning out.
This isn’t self-help. Not the kind that tells you to fix yourself so you can better serve the system. I’m not here to give you a checklist or a five-step plan. I’m here to offer a mirror, a signal, a shared language—so you can hear your own knowing more clearly.
This is about returning to yourself, not improving yourself. This is about sustainable leadership that starts with alignment. This is about building systems that make room for the full complexity of who we are.
When I share the treasures I’ve gathered, the pile doesn’t shrink. It grows. And it becomes something we can build from, together.
