Welcome to Coffee & Chicory! This brief episode is to help you get oriented with the show as well as get to know your host, Danielle Wright.

The rich history of coffee and chicory in New Orleans dates back to the 1800s when European
blockades disrupted trade, making coffee scarce. To cope, New Orleanians, who had already
woven coffee into the fabric of their daily lives, began adding chicory to stretch their supply.
What started as a necessity became a revelation—chicory didn't just extend the coffee; it
transformed it, deepening the flavor and creating a distinct aroma that evokes comfort and
nostalgia. For me, the scent of coffee and chicory is more than just a reminder of childhood; it
represents the warmth of home and the resilience that lies within us.



The Coffee and Chicory Podcast is a journey into how we, like coffee, are often stretched to our
limits, sometimes at the expense of our emotional well-being. Each episode will delve into
strategies to reclaim our sense of self, prioritizing self-care, and creating an inner sanctuary of
safety and comfort. Together, we'll explore how to nurture our emotional well-being, so that no matter how much life stretches us, we can always find our way back home—to ourselves.
