Brave, Bold & Unfiltered with Valerie Silveira
Life is messy, unpredictable, and sometimes downright brutal. So how do you keep going when everything falls apart?
That’s exactly what we talk about on Brave, Bold & Unfiltered. This isn’t your typical “feel-good” podcast—it’s raw, real, and unfiltered. My son Sean and I have honest conversations about courage, resilience, grief, faith, and navigating life’s unexpected twists.
Why do I care so much about this? Because I’ve lived it. My daughter Jamie was shot at 18 and miraculously survived—but that moment led to a 15-year battle with addiction that nearly destroyed both of us. Then, 12 years and 12 days later, it happened again. This time, it was fatal. Now, nearly a decade later, I’m still fighting for justice, but I refuse to let my story end in tragedy.
That’s why we’re here—to talk about what it really takes to stand back up when life knocks you down. And we don’t stop at the tough stuff. Sometimes, we dive into everyday challenges, big questions, or even the occasional random topic—because life isn’t just about the hard stuff. It’s about finding meaning, humor, and the guts to keep going.
Expect hard truths, real talk, and maybe even some laughter along the way. Because if we’re going to take down our Beasts, we might as well have a little fun doing it.
