Hey, out-of-life listeners, we'll be back with more amazing survival content in just a few weeks,

but today we're doing something a little different. For more than a year the team at Outside,

working with an amazing crew of freelance producers, has been developing a new podcast.

It's called The Daily Rally, and it's a weekday show featuring short stories from people

who came up against an obstacle in their life and found a way to get past it.

Think of it as an antidote to the drudgery you hear constantly in the news.

One of our favorite parts of The Daily Rally is there's no host,

And one more thing, you have a chance to choose who is featured on the show.

Fill out a nomination form at outsideonline.com slash The Daily Rally to nominate the people

in your life who came up against something and found a way to rally. And yes, you can nominate

yourself. We'll see you back here soon with more episodes of Adelaide, but for now,

Today, one woman's journey through grief and beyond. After this.

I'm my name's Karissa Aiken and nickname. I have lots of them, but maybe the

Charisley bear because I give really good hugs. Like a Charisley bear. In 2009, I lost my brother,
