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.

Send a message into the Brightside
What does it really mean to take care of yourself—beyond the buzzwords, routines, and surface-level fixes?
In this deeply grounding conversation, Dan sits down with educator, coach, and speaker Bethany Stone, whose life and work are rooted in the belief that growth doesn’t come from force—it comes from nourishment.
Bethany shares her powerful journey through trauma, resilience, burnout, healing, and rebuilding, offering a compassionate framework for emotional self-care that treats people like living systems—not broken projects. From understanding our emotional roots to learning how small, intentional habits can create lasting change, this episode is an invitation to slow down, tend what matters, and remember that thriving looks different in every season.
This is a conversation about grace, growth, community, and the quiet strength it takes to keep showing up for yourself- especially when life has been heavy.
Content Note: This episode includes discussion of trauma and sexual abuse. Listener discretion is advised.
If you’ve ever felt worn down, disconnected, or unsure how to begin caring for yourself again, this episode offers a gentle place to start.
