Start your day with The Bright Side, a new daily talk show from Hello Sunshine. Named Apple Podcasts' Spotlight show for September 2024, The Bright Side paves the way for a new era in women's stories, featuring unique, nuanced, and relatable conversations that bring women together. “For generations, women have been confined to singular identities. Fun or studious. Mom or career woman. Beautiful or intelligent,” says Simone Boyce, co-host and Emmy-nominated journalist, and producer. “By celebrating the breadth of women’s stories, we hope our audience feels empowered to own every page of their own story.”

Boyce is joined by Danielle Robay, journalist and TV host, and each week they invite wellness and friendship experts, celebrities, athletes, authors, and entrepreneurs to delight us with their knowledge and lived experiences. “As hosts, our goal is to add value to every conversation by curating practical takeaways for optimistic, empowered living,” says Robay. “I like to imagine that we’re planting little seeds the audience will nurture in the garden of their own minds."

“We created The Bright Side for anyone longing for a positive counterbalance to the negative news headlines that seem impossible to escape,” Boyce says. "So, when we thought about launching the podcast, we envisioned it for listeners who want to stay connected to the cultural conversation and walk away feeling inspired.” For Robay, she hopes listeners walk away feeling lighter and brighter. “We are navigating life's twists and turns with optimism, humor, and a sprinkle of sunshine. But most importantly, we are navigating them together.”
