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.

Alive on Purpose: Health, Heart & Holding On with Maggie Henderson
Send a message into the Brightside
In this episode of Braving the Brightside, we sit down with Maggie Henderson for an honest conversation about choosing life—again and again—even when your body has asked more than its fair share.
Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at a young age and later living with a genetic heart condition, Maggie has faced her own mortality far earlier than most. From sudden loss, to cardiac arrest, to open-heart surgery, her story is one of resilience, humor, and a deep commitment to staying present for the life she’s still building.
We talk about listening to your body, finding strength through movement, redefining what health really means, and the quiet bravery it takes to keep showing up—one day at a time.
This isn’t a story about perfection or toxic positivity. It’s about choosing to live fully, even when it’s hard.
If you’ve ever felt fragile, determined, or both at once—this episode will meet you where you are.
