Facing the Wild: Brad Orsted's Encounter with Grief and Survival

Maybe I was too pathetic, looking to be a threat, or maybe it even feared contracting some disease from me. But it simply walked away like our meeting was no big deal.
Brad Orsted’s journey is anything but ordinary. After the tragic loss of his daughter Marley, Brad plunged into a world of grief, addiction, and self-doubt. In this episode of 'Take It Outside', he continues to unravel his path to recovery in 'A Grizzly Conferment' (Part II).
What sets this episode apart is Brad's raw and honest reflection on his struggles and the unexpected moments that led him to a revelation: maybe he didn't want to die; he just didn't know how to live. During a chance encounter with a grizzly bear, Brad confronts his deepest fears and realizes the wild holds more than just danger—it holds the key to his healing.
Through vivid storytelling, he shares how nature, with its untamed beauty and unpredictable wildlife, became his sanctuary.

If you're seeking a story of resilience, hope, and the transformative power of nature, this episode offers all that and more. Brad’s journey through grief and addiction is a testament to the healing that can be found in the most unexpected places. His candid reflections provide a beacon for anyone struggling with their own battles, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, there is a path to recovery.
