82. Finding Clarity Through Meditation with Ashley Wray

Listen Later

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
