In this episode, we dive deep into traditions. The ones we inherit, the ones we create, and the ones we sometimes carry out just because we feel like we “should.”

Together, we explore what it really means to honor yourself while still honoring the traditions that truly resonate with where you are right now.

We unpack the expectations we place on ourselves about how life should look, and how those expectations often keep us stuck in patterns that don’t actually serve us.

At the heart of it all? Balance. Finding it, keeping it, and letting it guide not just our traditions, but every area of our lives.

This one is all about releasing the pressure, redefining meaning, and creating space for what feels authentic to you.

In this Mindful Mental Breakdown on Mindfully Chaotic, Amanda Marie and Kristina Murphy dive into the messy, beautiful reality of honoring our needs, setting boundaries, and choosing what truly aligns with us.

Amanda Marie & Kristina explore how rigid expectations—whether about routines, commitments, or life paths—can stifle creativity and lead us to guilt ourselves for doing what actually feels good. Together, these two friends unpack the idea that life is an art form meant to be created our own way, not squeezed into a “one-size-fits-all” mold.

This episode also breaks down the important reminder that basic human needs are not “self-care” luxuries—they extend far beyond hygiene, sleep, and food, and must be honored as the foundation of our well-being.

Through raw reflections and real-time breakthroughs, this conversation covers the power of community, accountability, and asking for help when it doesn’t come naturally. Kristina shares a powerful story of setting a firm boundary and finding that respecting herself actually led to the exact outcome she wanted—without suffering through what felt wrong.

At the heart of it all is a simple but profound reminder: we always have a choice. We can choose to keep pushing ourselves into boxes that don’t fit, or we can choose presence, alignment, and joy—even if it means letting things get a little messy, or you know, Mindfully Chaotic.

Originally hailing from the island of Jamaica, and now a proud citizen of the United States, Asher Wright has dedicated 22 of his 25 years in the US to serving in the US Military. Today, Asher has embraced the role of a Wisdom Coach, a title he holds dear with wisdom as his guiding value. He is devoted to serving the immigrant and veteran communities.

The question that drives Asher's life is, "Who do you want to be a hero to?". This query has not only guided him through his military service, where he aimed to be a hero to American citizens—believing deeply in their worth and deservingness of his service—but it continues to steer him in retirement as he now finds his purpose in addressing the same question toward supporting his fellow veterans and immigrants, aiming to enhance their lives with meaningful solutions.

The Freedoms of:

1. Time

2. Purpose

3. Money

4. Relationships
