Episode Details

Most of us know how to push through stress—but not how to actually stay mentally well.

In this episode, Stacey Chillemi sits down with MJ Murray Vachon, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 40 years of experience and over 50,000 therapy sessions, as she shares a practical framework for mental wellness.

Using her river metaphor and five-tool model, she explains how your mind drifts into chaos or rigidity—and how to bring it back to calm, clear flow.

You’ll learn:

• The difference between fixing symptoms and building real mental wellness

• A simple framework to move from anxious/rigid back to calm and flexible

• Everyday strategies to stay regulated in conflict and stressful situations

• Five concrete actions to reduce burnout and define wellness for yourself

If you’re tired of living in survival mode, this episode gives you a roadmap to feeling more steady, resilient, and well.
