Braving the Brightside
Comic Books, Chaos and Comebacks with Jay Brown
Send a message into the Brightside
This week on Braving the Brightside, I sit down with my longtime friend Jay Brown for a raw, unfiltered, and deeply human conversation. Jay’s journey began with unimaginable challenges — born into addiction, time spent in foster care, and a search for belonging. But through it all, he found his voice, his humor, and his resilience.
In this episode, Jay opens up about growing up in chaos, discovering creativity through comic books and music, and how laughter became both his armor and his gift. We explore the highs and lows of his path through addiction, grief, and rebuilding, while finding meaning and growth on the other side.
This is a story about survival, honesty, and the messy, beautiful work of becoming yourself. It’s heavy, it’s funny, and above all, it’s real.
Whether you’ve faced your own battles or you just want to hear a story of resilience told straight from the heart — this episode is for you.
