Welcome to On the Bright Side - a safe place full of mental health convos, navigating your 20s tips, and doses of positivity & POVS… the unofficial girl’s guide to life if you will. This podcast is my way of sharing life experiences and perspectives with the world in hopes of making someone’s life a little brighter and a lot more fun. I started this podcast back in 2022 when I thought it was time to share my mental health story and since then it’s become so much more <3 What started as a mental health podcast transformed basically into everything that goes on behind a girl’s bedroom door - advice giving, tea talking and confidence boosting (and sometimes influencers, friends and other special guests join in on the convo). I am so glad you’re here <3

What really happened in the Bahamas? Is the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders’ support system as healthy as it seems? Did she have a stalker?…And most importantly, is she okay?
This week on On the Bright Side, former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Chandi Dayle joins me for a raw, unfiltered conversation about this season of America’s Sweethearts that shook the internet.
From being a DCC for 6 years, to her suspension from the team after the Bahamas, to surviving an abusive relationship, and managing her mental health under intense public scrutiny, Chandi opens up about everything that happened behind and beyond the cameras along with her life now.
I’m incredibly grateful to have hosted Chandi for this exclusive, and I hope it reminds everyone that negative comments on social media have real impact. It’s so important to step into other people’s shoes, especially when it comes to mental health.
Chandi is a bright light, and I’m honored she trusted me to help share more of her story.
