What does it really mean to live in your truth?

In this episode of Coffee & Crystals, Kadie Chronister explores Satya, the second of the five Yamas in yoga philosophy and one of the most powerful tools for personal growth, self-awareness, and authentic living.

While Satya is often translated as "truthfulness," its teachings extend far beyond simply telling the truth to others. Satya invites us to examine the stories we tell ourselves, the relationships we choose, the boundaries we set, and the ways we either honor or abandon our authentic selves.

Drawing from personal experiences, yoga teachings, and lessons from her own healing journey, Kadie shares how practicing truthfulness can help us create healthier relationships, make aligned decisions, and cultivate greater peace and confidence in our daily lives.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• What Satya means in yoga philosophy
• Why truthfulness begins with self-awareness
• How to recognize when you're living out of alignment
• The connection between honesty, boundaries, and self-respect
• How to communicate truth with compassion and kindness
• Journal prompts to help you uncover your authentic voice
• Practical ways to bring Satya into your everyday life

Whether you're new to yoga philosophy or looking to deepen your spiritual practice, this conversation offers practical wisdom for living with greater authenticity, mindfulness, and intention.

Memorable Quotes:

"Don't put yourself in situations you don't deserve."
