Limiting Beliefs, Perfectionism and Mindfulness with Ashley Wray

Ashley Wray is the founder and CEO of Mala Collective.  The company works with artisans in Asia (from Bali to India to Nepal) to create products supporting a mindfulness and meditation practice. Ashley has taught meditation across North America, taken meditation trainings from LA to NY to India and Bali, and has worked to make meditation and mindfulness more accessible and fun.
