Braving the Brightside
Life gets messy. It breaks us. But it also offers us the chance to rebuild.
Braving the Brightside is a podcast about what happens after the fall—how we find strength in struggle, how we reclaim hope in the dark, and how we choose to keep going even when it hurts.
Host Dan Bradley invites real people to share real stories—of resilience, recovery, and the quiet bravery it takes to face each day. From moments of rock bottom to unexpected healing, this show is a space for anyone learning to stand back up.
Whether you’re clawing your way through the storm or finally feeling the sun again—welcome. You belong here.
🌞Where resilience meets radiance.

After a devastating car accident shattered life as he knew it, Chris Ruby was left with more than broken bones—he was facing a battle that was just beginning. In this powerful conversation, Chris shares his journey of recovery, identity, and reaching the point of realization that he was staring down a fight he was never going to win alone.
We talk about learning to slow down, what it means to truly rebuild, and how the support of not just his community of friends but his family and their never-ending inspiration and love that would finally pull him back from the brink.
Oh, and Grey's Anatomy. Just as important.
