from Braving the Brightside

Send a message into the BrightsideCurtis Jr grew up chasing storms and snakes, but never quite felt like he belonged. The world saw him as different, and fitting in often came with a cost. Even as drinking crept into his life, music became his anchor-the one place where he could feel whole, alive, and true to himself.In this conversation, Curtis opens up about learning to embrace the little kid he once was-the one who was made fun of for loving what he loved-and how welcoming that kid back saved him. His story is about finding identity, fighting through struggle, and letting music light the way forward. If you've ever felt out of place, Curtis' journey will remind you: the parts of you that don't "fit in" might just be the parts that set you free.Feel Good News Story (Majestic Mullet): https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/9-year-old-boy-saves-parents-when-tornado-sends-car-flying-into-trees/Curtis Jr Music/Fundraiser Info: Curtis Jr. - Band, Live Music, Original and Cover SongsOfficial Braving the Brightside Website: bravingthebrightside.orgOfficial Brightside Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1QnOBVBM8NRC9nFtxcPEpd?si=uGOTwlqyTRSqggcMCJhzSQThe Rethreadery-Sustainable Style: therethreadery.com-Use Code BRIGHTSIDE for 15% Off!IG: @the_rethreaderyHaven on Adullam Lake Retreat: havenonadullamlake.com-Use code LITTLEDAN for 10% Off!IG: @haven_adullam_lakeThe Library of Daniel Bradley: Patreon.com/daniels666timeNew episodes every other Friday at 2 pm on all major podcast platforms.
