    Mental Wellness 101: Stop Coping, Start Healing
    Dec 1 2025
    Most of us were taught how to push through… not how to stay mentally well. We try to get rid of anxiety and burnout, but no one showed us what wellness really looks like or how to build it on purpose.

    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, shares a practical framework for mental wellness.

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

    You’ll learn:
    🧠 The difference between treating mental illness and building mental wellness
    🌊 How MJ’s river metaphor helps you understand your mind’s “default settings.”
    🛠️ A five-tool framework to move from anxious/rigid back to calm and flexible
    🏠 Simple strategies for staying regulated in family conflict and stressful situations
