In this powerful episode of Her Purpose, I sit down with Crystal Green—co-founder of Skyrocket Coffee—for a raw, honest, and deeply moving conversation about transformation.
Crystal opens up about the journey behind the coffee brand, sharing how launching her business wasn’t about the coffee itself—but about using it as a vehicle for purpose and impact. But her story goes much deeper than entrepreneurship.
Crystal vulnerably shares how she overcame alcohol and prescription drug addiction, released 100 pounds of emotional and physical weight, and confronted a life-altering identity discovery after taking a 23andMe test. From being labeled “not smart enough” in childhood due to undiagnosed dyslexia to walking through regret, grief, and deep healing—Crystal’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and reclaiming personal power.
We talk about:
- How personal development helped her rewrite her identity
- The moment she realized her life had to change
- Sobriety, grief, and how 2019 became the year everything shifted
- The truth about shame, regret, and forgiveness
- How she's using her business to give back and make an impact
- Why she believes everything is “overcomeable”
This episode is a must-listen for anyone walking through a hard season or questioning what’s possible for their life.
