On today’s episode, I’m chatting with Ashley Wray, creator of The Mala Collective. They create a variety of different products to support mindfulness and meditation practices. What’s interesting about Ashley’s entrepreneurship journey, was that she really never intended on starting this business - but as life should have it, nine years ago this is where her path took her and she's so grateful that it did! She now can’t imagine her life without this business, and today’s episode takes us through her journey of connecting with herself and a higher power, as well as leaps of faith and surrender through serendipity.On this episode we dive into: Trusting that every moment in your life was meant for you.Becoming more curious so that you don’t miss an opportunity. Leading with trust. Finding balance and keeping a calm mindset to navigate through a stressful journey. Tips to move through your limiting beliefs!The importance of taking the time to honour your soul and take a true break to reset.How to move through mediation with Mala Beads.… and from a business standpoint:Working though the barrier of self-doubt and ‘who am I to start this business?’Sharing more rawness to move through tough times as a business owner. How to become a strong leader. How you can show up authentically for people and support them in your community. Being accountable to each other as a team - because it can be really lonely to be a boss. Getting clear on your mission, vision, and purpose. Getting aligned with your purpose as a business. The take-home: Know that having self-limiting beliefs is totally normal. But also be aware that you have the power to move through them! We are so kind to everyone in our community but we don’t often offer that love to ourselves ... offer yourself as much kindness, compassion, and love as you would for your best friend. Ashley wrapped up with this: “The biggest blocks I’ve had in my business were my own self-doubts and not thinking I was enough. Instead, I would always think, ‘Who am I to be starting this business?’ But when I shifted this thinking and decided I wasn't helping anyone by playing small ... BIG things started to happen - and they can for you too!"Get in touch with Ashley or the Mala CollectiveAshley Wray, Mala CollectiveWebsite: https://www.malacollective.comFree Meditations: https://www.malacollective.com/pages/i-am-enough-meditation-series Learn more about Mala Beads: https://www.malacollective.com/pages/what-are-mala-beads-3 Instagram: @malacollective
