Welcome to your safe space to be messy, weird, dark, nervous, and excited! The purpose of "Mentally Chill" is to promote mental health awareness and normalize the highs and lows of life. We're spreading awareness one story at a time from real people with real struggles. Additionally, this is a place to get the inside scoop on mental health resources (therapy, medication, etc.), and find out what it's really like to ask for help. Also, we laugh a lot. Because life is hard, but it's also quite funny. Thank you for choosing to be here, you are where you need to be.

4. Cigarettes and Loneliness Are Bad for Your Body l Jeff Stern

June 03, 2023 • Emily Shlapak

This might be my favorite episode I've recorded so far! While recording with my old friend Jeff, I'd forget sometimes I was interviewing him because I was just so fascinated with what he had to say. Come join us as Jeff walks us through his journey into and out of Hollywood as a set designer. We answer questions like "What does it mean to be creative?" and "Can everyone create?" Jeff talks about the profound power of small acts of kindness, and how we can incorporate that more into our daily lives. Lastly, we wrap on the epidemic of loneliness in adults, and how that affects your physical health. I can't get this episode out of my head, I'm so happy you're here, stay a while!

For anyone that wants to practice sending Jeff a kind note, here's his email: tcbjts@gmail.com (or just reach out and tell him he's awesome!)
