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.

Nurture: Mirror Mirror On The Wall (The Velvet)
Hi y'all- Kelly here. In the last NEW 'Velvet' episode this year, I felt like I needed to tap into one of my biggest walls/fears- solo episodes. If you have listened to the podcast this year, you know my word of the year was 'DARE,' so it only felt appropriate to face something I feel scared of. Not saying this is a rational fear, but sometimes we just gotta walk through it to get to the other side.In today's episode, I talked about the one way that I've learned to actually 'nurture' my soul that will probably be a bit surprising, but it's been a massive game changer for me in how I live my life and where I find my peace. Take what you like and leave the rest!Sound Frequency I mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhM9BBRaYlA email: kelly@velvetsedge.com Instagram: @velvetsedge Follow Velvet's Edge on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/velvetsedge/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You take a look at your energetic blueprint, and through that process, you can shed your conditioning and then create a mindset that supports the blueprint" Socials: @the_human_design_coach Website: emmadunwoody.com Podcast: The Human Design Podcast with Emma Dunwoody Follow Velvet's Edge on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/velvetsedge/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
