I went outside in an effort to go inside myself. So I made it chase me up where the air gets thin in an effort to suffocate it.
Season 3 of 'Take It Outside' kicks off with Brad Orsted opening up about his profound journey through loss and addiction. Following the heartbreaking death of his daughter Marley, Brad found himself in a relentless cycle of grief, numbing his pain with prescription drugs and alcohol.

This new environment, filled with the raw beauty of nature, started to offer him a glimmer of hope and a path to recovery.

The breathtaking scenery provided a temporary escape during the day, but the weight of his grief would return with the setting sun. Through candid storytelling, Brad reveals how the wild landscapes of Yellowstone helped him confront his pain and begin the healing process. He also touches on the significant impact of trauma on mental health and emphasizes the importance of community support in recovery.
