In this inspiring episode of The Nature of Well-Being, filmmaker and producer Diana Carmella shares how a panic attack at work led her to completely reevaluate her life—and ultimately hike the Pacific Northwest Trail. Diana opens up about her mental health struggles, the healing power of nature, and how YouTube creators like Peter McKinnon and Sailing UMA helped her find a new sense of purpose. We talk about trail names, epic hikes, creative burnout, and how the wilderness can change your life.
