Three years ago, Coffee & Crystals was born out of a desire to reconnect with my love for writing and storytelling, blending yoga, mental health, and self-discovery into one space. In today’s episode, I reflect on the podcast’s journey—from its roots in Costa Rica to the grounding lessons that continue to shape my life. We dive into the power of intention setting during the new moon, overcoming imbalances, and the lessons I’ve learned about finding your voice and grounding yourself. Whether you’re a longtime listener or just joining, this episode is packed with inspiration, reflection, and action steps for living in alignment with your truth.

In this episode, we dive into the transformative energy of **Vata season**—a time for creativity, change, and new beginnings. As fall brings cooler, drier, and windier days, we’ll explore how Vata, one of the three doshas in **Ayurveda**, affects us. Learn how to balance Vata energy through grounding practices, diet, and yoga to stay aligned and centered.

Tune in for tips on embracing the season’s shifts with ease, while managing Vata imbalances like anxiety, restlessness, and dryness. This episode offers practical ways to nurture your body and mind during this powerful time of year.

Bravery -The Foundations of a Warrior Spirit🌟

Welcome back to *Coffee & Crystals* ☕💎, where we explore yoga-inspired topics that nurture self-discovery, business motivation, and spiritual growth. In this episode, Kadie takes a step back from the warrior mindset and dives into the often-misunderstood act of *bravery*.

Bravery comes in many forms—sometimes, it’s the bold, heroic actions we see in stories, but more often, it’s quieter. It’s found in small moments, like speaking up, asking for help, or facing the unknown with courage. Kadie shares personal reflections on her earliest memories of bravery, inspired by none other than Brave Heart Bear from the *Care Bears* 🐻💙. She also opens up about overcoming personal challenges, including a family that didn’t always believe in her, and how she found strength in herself and her community.

Through physical practices like yoga and hiking 🧘‍♀️⛰️, mental exercises like reading about others’ courageous stories 📚, emotional journaling ✍️, and spiritual connection through meditation and nature 🌿, Kadie offers listeners practical ways to cultivate bravery in their own lives.

This episode is for anyone who wants to live in alignment with their purpose and face life’s challenges with grace and resilience. Tune in and discover how to step into your bravery—even when fear is present.

🎧 Listen now and start building your warrior spirit from within!

In this episode of Coffee & Crystals, we explore what it means to truly become a warrior in your life—mind, body, and soul. From the symbolism behind yoga's Warrior Pose to the emotional resilience and spiritual strength needed to face life’s challenges, this episode is all about standing in your power, overcoming obstacles, and thriving no matter what comes your way.

We’ll dive deep into the anatomy of Warrior Poses, discuss mental and emotional resilience, and explore how aligning with cosmic energy during the season between the new moon and full moon can enhance your warrior spirit. Plus, I’ll share some personal stories of the warriors in my life and offer tips on how you can train like a warrior through intentional choices in diet, mindset, and recovery.

Get ready to step into your light, embrace the challenges ahead, and embody the true essence of a warrior! 🌕✨

In this episode of "Coffee & Crystals with Kadie," we dive deep into two powerful topics: redefining beauty and embracing movement as a form of therapy. First, Kadie reflects on a recent experience that made her question societal standards of beauty. After being given a checklist of beauty tasks to 'get a man,' she challenges the notion that our worth is only skin deep and explores the deeper qualities that truly make us beautiful.

Later in the episode, Kadie shares her recent experience teaching a yoga and dance fusion class in Century City, LA. She discusses the profound impact that movement can have on our mental and emotional well-being, reminding us that movement isn't just exercise—it's a way to connect with ourselves, release stress, and celebrate our bodies. Whether it's through yoga, dance, or simply mindful breathing, Kadie encourages us all to make movement a part of our self-care routine.

Tune in for a heartfelt conversation about self-worth, healing, and the transformative power of movement. If you’re ready to embrace your true beauty and find peace through movement, this episode is for you.
