From Addiction to Alignment: Crystal Green’s Journey of Healing, Identity, and Purpose

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 identityThe moment she realized her life had to changeSobriety, grief, and how 2019 became the year everything shiftedThe truth about shame, regret, and forgivenessHow she's using her business to give back and make an impactWhy 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.Connect with Crystal:📍 Instagram: @crystal.skyrocket☕️ Skyrocket Coffee: @skyrocketcoffee | skyrocketcoffee.comKeywordsSkyrocket Coffee, personal development, overcoming challenges, addiction recovery, self-discovery, entrepreneurship, grief, neurodivergence, life transformation, impactTakeawaysSkyrocket Coffee uses a unique air roasting system.Crystal's passion for coffee is tied to creating impact.Personal development began for Crystal in 2017.She lost 100 pounds and overcame addiction.Grief and loss shaped her perspective on life.Crystal emphasizes the importance of sharing stories.Neurodivergence is seen as a gift in her life.Challenges are part of the journey to growth.Everything is overcomeable with the right tools.Crystal is excited about the future of her coffee business.Chapters00:00 The Birth of Skyrocket Coffee02:55 Purpose Beyond Coffee06:04 The Journey of Personal Development08:49 Overcoming Addiction and Weight Loss11:54 Navigating Relationships and Codependency15:03 The Impact of Alcohol on Life Choices17:57 Transformative Life Changes21:11 The Entrepreneurial Spirit24:03 Facing Identity and Family Challenges26:58 Lessons from Loss and Grief29:59 Finding Strength in Vulnerability32:58 The Power of Self-Discovery35:55 Embracing Neurodivergence38:53 The Road to Healing42:02 Creating a Legacy Through Storytelling44:52 The Future of Skyrocket CoffeeAligned & Ascending is an 8-week space where I help you get clear on your next step, your message, your offers—all of it—so you can stop second-guessing everything and actually build the purpose-driven business you’ve been thinking about.So if you’re craving clarity and momentum—and a business that feels like you—DM me the word ALIGN on Instagram to get all the info.
