82. Finding Clarity Through Meditation with Ashley Wray
About this episode
Today I am joined by Ashley Wray, founder of Mala Collective. In 2011, Ashley decided to make a big career and life change by quitting her job as a journalist and traveling. After falling in love with mala beads and meditation in Bali, she returned home and started Mala Collective.
Ten years later she's grown Mala Collective to a 7-figure business and helps inspire mediation through different tools and practices (from online courses, to guided meditations, mala beads, and cushions).
Ashley shares her story of transitioning careers and launching a business, how meditation helps us create space to thrive, and how understanding what success means is a key to feeling fulfilled.
In this episode:
- How a quarter-life crisis lead Ashley and her partner to making a big career change and start Mala Collective
- What are mala beads and how can they add to your mediation practice?
- There is no 'right' way to mediate, it's all about what works for you!
- Mediation as a tool for making it through difficult times
- Understanding your own definition of success
- Why Ashley has found value in working with a career coach
- Knowing and pursuing your personal values
- Getting perspective when you're overly focused on the challenging parts of life
