An exuberant, hilarious memoir about a woman who pauses her successful career for a year and explores the “What If” jobs of her dreams.On the cusp of turning forty, Alisha Fernandez Miranda has climbed to the peak of personal and professional success, but at a price; she’s overworked and exhausted.Bravely, Alisha decides to give herself a break, temporarily pausing her stressful career as the CEO of high-powered consulting firm. With the tentative blessing of her husband and eight-year-old twins, she leaves her home in London to spend one year exploring the dream jobs of her youth, seeking answers to the question, “What If?”What follows is a spirited and hilarious journey for Alisha - and the reader. Contending with her lack of experience (and the onset of a global pandemic), Alisha gofers for two high-profile Broadway productions (and nearly tramples Stephen Sondheim), attempts to master a fitness regimen called Voga (a cross between yoga and “voguing”), feigns confidence while handling multi-million-dollar artwork at Christie’s, and literally sets her shirt on fire while serving rack of lamb in a posh hotel on Scotland’s remote Isle of Skye. Her experiences are at once challenging and humbling, and push the boundaries of what Alisha thought she was physically, mentally, and emotionally capable of. Alisha’s “What If” year reveals that she can achieve success on her own terms by embodying the spirit of the intern: never stop learning, be flexible, and understand that failure is a prerequisite for growth.For anyone who’s ever felt stuck in a rut, My What If Year proves that it’s never too late to say yes to second chances and explore the roads untraveled throughout your life.

[PDF] Downloads My What If Year: A Memoir By most accounts, in 2019, Alisha Fernandez Miranda was living the dream. Raised in Miami as the daughter of Cuban immigrants, she'd studied hard and gotten into Harvard. Although she majored in Women's Studies, a field her father considered indulgent, she achieved her dream of settling in the UK, married a loving and supportive man, became the mother of longed-for twins, and the CEO of a consulting company which advised clients on how to invest ethically and responsibly. On her Instagram feed, she can be seen socializing with the likes of King (then-Prince) Charles. And yet, she had some niggling doubts about the career path she'd chosen.With her husband on board, she decided to try out some different jobs via unpaid internships to see what she might have missed, and try to determine in which direction to point her life after forty. Having acquired an impressive list of acquaintances (i.e. Bill Gates and King Charles mentioned above), she inquired of her connections and set up four internships in vastly different fields -- Broadway theater, fitness, art, and upscale hospitality.In early 2020, she set out for New York for part one of her adventure, leaving her kids and husband behind (with his blessing). Miranda writes humorously about trying to make herself useful behind the scenes of two Broadway shows and of running into (literally!) the legendary Stephen Sondheim. But then we all know what happened next. An insidious virus started spreading, and Miranda's first internship was cut short.I admired her persistence in soldiering on. Instead of giving up on her project, she managed to intern remotely for a fitness instructor who'd shifted to online classes, while sharing homeschooling duties with her husband. While a lot of readers would probably prefer to forget about that bleak period, or would rather not be reminded of it just yet, I think that in years to come this book will serve as a valuable account of what it was like to live through a pandemic. I, personally, was in Japan and my kids had already graduated from high school. Reading this book left me in awe of everyone who had to try to teach their own kids long-division.Miranda's third internship took her into the art world. Again, it was intriguing to read how things work behind the scenes between art dealers and their billionaire clients. Her final stint, at a fancy hotel in Scotland, reminded me a bit of my days serving in restaurants, something I would rather not do again. However, I have a new respect for servers who manage to carry carefully arranged edible works of art to the table without disturbing their composition. Apparently, it's not as easy as one would think!Not everyone would be able to up and leave their families to pursue their bliss, especially during a global pandemic, and Miranda reminds the reader that she is well aware of her privilege. However, I think it's safe to say that the author has proven that one's life is not necessarily set in stone by the age of forty. It is possible to pivot, to pursue new interests, and abandon old goals. To ask "What if..."Highly enjoyable.
