Velvet's Edge with Kelly Henderson
iHeartPodcasts
The Velvet's Edge Podcast is an invitation to explore the beautiful, messy truth that real growth is an inside job. Hosted by Kelly Henderson—a celebrity stylist and men's groomer who has learned firsthand that "looking good" on the outside only gets you so far—this podcast is a space for the conversations you don't always hear out loud.
Life has a way of knocking us flat, and Kelly believes there is purpose in that pain. She uses her own journey of plot twists to show that true beauty is found by going inward. On some days, you'll hear deep dives with therapists, healers, and other people who have turned their pain into something beautiful. On other days, Kelly and Chip Dorsch laugh their way through the weird, messy "WTF is this life?" moments, because growth is easier when you and your bestie can laugh through it together.
This podcast is for you if you've ever felt empty despite doing everything you were "supposed to" do. It's for you if you're stuck in a toxic relationship cycle and don't know how to get out. It's for you if you're in the middle of a total life plot twist and have no idea where to start. You aren't broken beyond repair. You are simply a human on a soul's journey, and even though we each have our own path, it's a lot easier when we have a little help from our friends.

The Principle of Maybe: Breaking Free from Good and Bad Narratives (The Edge)
Ever notice how quick we are to label things as "good" or "bad"? In this episode, we dive into the principle of maybe—the idea that life isn’t so black and white, and that our culture has created these labels that don’t necessarily serve us. This repost felt especially relevant this week. As we navigate feelings of success or failure with the election, it’s a reminder that there’s a bigger picture at play, one we can’t fully see or understand. So, how can we choose to operate from peace and kindness in our present moment, letting go of rigid labels and embracing the maybe?
