Episode Synopsis
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.
