After the tragic death of our daughter, Marley, I descended in a looping hell of madness, guilt, grief and addiction. I numbed my heartache and PTSD with prescribed pharmaceuticals, and drowned them with alcohol. Then a twist of fate found me working as a wildlife photographer/filmmaker/guide while living in Yellowstone, and the wild came creeping in... My podcast will cover my journey through immeasurable loss, devastating addiction, and how I found Marley, and my way home to healing and recovery in nature. I'll share my unconventional route, and interview others on their journey

    Lean on Me

    In this episode of Take It Outside, titled, Lean on Me, I'll talk about my time tracking a mountain lion family with my good friend, Casey Anderson, and how steep climbs and frozen snot were exactly what I needed to start to deal with my trauma. I'll read from my memoir, Through the Wilderness: My Journey of Redemption and Healing in the American Wild, an early segment covering some of my time with Casey and the mountain lion kittens that reminded me so much of Marley.

    Healing in Yellowstone

    Welcome to Season 3 Episode 1 of Take It Outside! On this episode titled, Healing in Yellowstone, I'm finally off the soul-numbing prescriptions and starting to find my wild way to healing in Yellowstone. While days guiding in Yellowstone provided for grizzly bears, marriage proposals and forgotten underwear hikes, there was also the everyday painful reminder in all that beauty that Marley was gone from my life forever. The intense pain was suspended by the awe of Yellowstone by day, but always seemed to find me again in the mountains after the sun went down. Please join us on this episode of Take It Outside!
