I just want to share the love and the beauty that I found in the wild with everyone. I hope you're enjoying your Summer and I hope everyone has a chance to take it outside.
Imagine battling addiction while grappling with profound grief, and then finding solace in the most unexpected place - nature. In this episode of 'Take It Outside', Brad Orsted takes us through his harrowing journey from the depths of addiction to the heights of recovery, all thanks to the wild landscapes of Yellowstone. After the tragic loss of his daughter Marley, Brad found himself in a dark spiral, numbing his pain with prescription drugs and alcohol.
But a perceptive doctor saw something untamed in him and pointed him towards nature for healing. Brad recounts how immersing himself in the wild became his lifeline, offering a sanctuary where he could confront his demons and begin to heal. He speaks candidly about the impact of addiction on his relationships and the challenges of navigating life changes while staying sober.
This episode isn't just about the struggle; it's about the hope and resilience that come with finding a supportive healthcare professional and embracing positive distractions. Brad's story is a testament to the power of nature to mend even the deepest wounds. If you're searching for inspiration on your own recovery journey, Brad's tale of finding beauty and love in the wild might be just what you need.
