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.
Braving the Brightside
Coffee Break-A Very Brightside Christmas
Send a message into the Brightside
Christmas Eve has a way of slowing everything down.
In this Coffee Break, Dan reflects on the year you survived; the pivots, the missed steps, the unexpected joys and the quiet strength it took to just keep going. From creative starts and resets, to staying consistent when time worked against you, to the grounding joy of a new dog, the ache of watching time move forward, and the reminder that humanity still exists beneath all of the noise.
This isn't a conversation about resolutions or reinvention. It's a moment to pause, take inventory, and give yourself a little credit for making it here.
If this year felt heavy, this episode is for you.
One step. One sunrise. One honest conversation at a time.
And tonight, one peaceful Christmas Eve at a time.
