Brad Orsted - Take It Outside

In this 18 minute episode, I'll complete the 3-part series of how profound tragedy struck our family in the summer of 2010, and how my mom's role in our daughter's death sent me into a very dark place of depression, addiction, and suicidal fantasies. Just as the gathering darkness seemed inescapable, we move to one of the wildest places on the planet - Yellowstone. Thank you for joining me here on, "Take It Outside"

Warning: This episode covers very sensitive and emotional subject matter.

In this episode of Take It Outside - I'll do my best to remember a time I tried so hard to forget. A falling from grace, as the unthinkable happens, and our world is turned upside and shattered. This episode is about 18 minutes long, so please find a comfortable place, and follow along on this segment titled, Dark Blue.

For Marley and everything Wild - 

Brad

Take It Outside 

This is the first 15 minute segment of a 3 part series, laying the groundwork for my healing in nature podcast. 

In this episode, I'll talk about growing up Hoosier, eating corn on the cob with government cheese, and listening to KISS with a Farrah Fawcett poster watching it all. I'll share how a staggering teenage revelation shaped the next few decades of my life, and how just when I found my North star, everything went blurry.

This is the first episode of a short, 3-part series that lays the groundwork for my healing in nature.  On this episode, I'll cover growing up in the Midwest eating hot dogs, fishing and wishing Farrah Fawcett was my girlfriend. How a shocking teenage revelation sent me reeling into a world of no direction, and how the love of a family of girls became my navigational north. Then the worst possible thing happens...

On this episode, I’ll explain how I landed on the name, ‘Take It Outside’ for my podcast on healing and recovery in nature after unfathomable loss. 🙏🏼❤️🏔
