Kids face constant pressure in their daily lives. They ask themselves, "Do my peers like me? Am I too weird? What if I fail?" Modern technology, mobile devices, and social media only compound their problems. How can we help kids find their true identities during these vulnerable years?

I spoke with Jana, a therapist at Trails Carolina, to explore the answer. As a child, she never felt like she fit in at her high-pressure school. But a trip to summer camp had a profound effect on her life. Now, she works with troubled youth to help them rediscover their lost motivation by taking them deep into the wilderness.

Here's how Jana uses nature to detox kids from technology, uncover their authentic selves, and why she wants parents to take a hard look in the mirror.

In this episode, Jana explains the importance of these Do The Thing Formula pieces:

Identifying your why

Doing hard things

Building the muscle

Setting goals

Making it fun

Mindset

Setting boundaries
