Rest is Best: Ashley Merrill of Lunya & ...

Rebecca Minkoff
About this episode

Ashley Merrill has always felt the urge to pursue as many things as she can during this lifetime. It was the perfect opportunity, then, to try a new venture when she realized she was relying on her husband’s old t-shirts as her go-to during down time. Wanting something more stylish, comfortable, and a reflection of the contemporary woman she is, Ashley founded Lunya, the “restwear” brand whose ethos maintains that the quiet moments to yourself are the most important part of the day.

A natural problem-solver, Ashley has always seen opportunities instead of issues, and eagerly allows her role evolve as the company grows. She is busy and ambitious, to be sure, but always prioritizes adequate rest in order to be the best at what she does!

Thanks for listening!  Don't forget to order Rebecca's new book, Fearless: The New Rules for Unlocking Creativity, Courage, and Success.
