Sleep Is Getting Easier? What We Took from Dr. Breus (and What’s Actually Working) (The Edge)

Fri, 08 May 2026 07:00:00 +0000

After Kelly’s conversation with sleep expert Dr. Michael J. Breus, she and Chip break down the biggest takeaways from his approach—and how they’ve already started applying them to their own sleep.

They get into the patterns they didn’t realize were keeping them stuck, the simple shifts that made an immediate difference, and why Dr. Breus’ way of looking at sleep feels so much more realistic than the usual advice. From understanding your own rhythms to taking the pressure off “doing it perfectly,” this is about making sleep feel easier—not more complicated.

Why Sleep Feels So Hard (and What Actually Helps) with Dr. Michael Breus (The Velvet)

Wed, 06 May 2026 07:00:00 +0000

Sleep advice is everywhere—but if you’re someone who actually struggles with it, most of it can feel… useless.

Kelly sits down with Dr. Michael J. Breus—clinical psychologist, sleep specialist, and known to many as “The Sleep Doctor”—to break down what’s really going on when sleep just isn’t happening. From the myth of “8 hours” to why your brain suddenly spirals the second your head hits the pillow, this conversation gets into the science, the stress, and the real-life patterns that impact sleep.

They talk chronotypes, anxiety at night, hormones, and the frustrating cycle of trying everything and still feeling wired but exhausted. But the biggest takeaway? It might not be about doing more—it might be about simplifying what you’re already trying to do.

From AIM Chats to Scorpio Truth Bombs (The Edge)

Fri, 01 May 2026 07:00:00 +0000

Kelly and Chip kick things off with a throwback to the AIM days—screen names, late-night chats, and all the high school nostalgia—before tying it back to the energy from Kelly’s May astrology episode with Marvin Wilkerson. As the conversation unfolds, Chip has a few unexpected breakthroughs around the Scorpio Full Moon and what it’s bringing up beneath the surface. Along the way, he asks the kinds of astrology questions everyone’s thinking but doesn’t always say out loud—like how planets and signs actually work together and what it all means in real life. It’s part light, part reflective, and a very real look at what happens when you start connecting the dots between your patterns and the bigger picture.

May Astrology: You Already Know. Now Act Like It (The Velvet)

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 07:00:00 +0000

Kelly sits down with Master Astrologer Marvin Wilkerson (Marv) to talk about those moments when something quietly clicks—and you can’t ignore it anymore.

If you’ve been overthinking, waiting, or looking outside yourself for answers, this is a reminder to come back to you. To focus on what’s yours to do, instead of trying to figure out or change anyone else.

They talk about what it looks like to gently move forward, trust what you already feel is true, and take the next step without needing everything to be perfectly clear.

It’s not about having it all figured out—it’s about being honest with yourself… and choosing to act from there.

Are You Living Your Enneagram… or Rewriting It? The Story That Kept You Safe with Katie Gustafson (The Velvet)

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 15:36:36 +0000

Kelly sits down with psychotherapist and Enneagram specialist Katie Gustafson for a conversation that challenges the way we think about personality, identity, and growth.

Instead of asking “who am I, really?”—this episode explores a different question: what story did you learn to tell to stay safe… and are you still living inside it?

They walk through the nine Enneagram types not as fixed identities, but as early survival stories we wrote in childhood—patterns shaped by our environments, needs, and experiences. From the achiever who equates worth with success to the peacemaker who keeps the peace at the cost of their own voice, these stories may feel familiar—but they’re not final.

The conversation moves into what it actually looks like when those patterns stop working, how those moments show up in the body, and why that tension might be less of a breakdown and more of an invitation to change.

Peptides, GLP-1s & Wellness Trends: What’s Real vs. Hype (and What We’ve Actually Tried) (The Edge)

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 07:50:46 +0000

Peptides, GLP-1s, anti-aging, recovery… it feels like everywhere you turn, there’s a new “miracle” solution being pushed. But how much of it is actually real—and how much are we just… collectively deciding to believe?

Following Kelly’s conversation with peptide expert, Jay Campbell, Kelly and Chip take a step back from the online noise to talk through what they’re seeing in the peptide and wellness space. They also discuss their own personal experiences, and where things start to feel a little questionable. The conversation turns into a very honest look at how quickly we all jump on trends—especially when the internet makes it sound convincing enough and how to navigate what is right for you and your body.

Peptides Explained: What’s Real, What’s Hype & What You Need to Know with Jay Campbell (The Velvet)

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 07:00:00 +0000

Peptides are everywhere right now—from GLP-1s and weight loss to anti-aging and recovery—but what’s actually real, and what’s just hype?

Kelly sits down with five-time bestselling author and peptide expert Jay Campbell to break it all down in a way that actually makes sense. They cover what peptides are, why they’ve suddenly exploded in popularity, and how they connect to things like GLP-1 medications.

The conversation also gets into the gray areas—what’s clinically backed vs. experimental, the real benefits people are seeing, and the risks that aren’t being talked about enough. Kelly asks the questions most people are thinking about, including FDA regulation, “research use only” labels, and what you’re actually getting if you buy peptides online.

They also talk transparency, safety, and the bigger picture: are we optimizing our health… or skipping over what our bodies actually need?

If you’ve been curious but overwhelmed by the peptide conversation, this episode gives you a clear, grounded place to start

The Bachelorette Effect: Are We Bringing Chaos Into Dating? (The Edge)

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 07:00:00 +0000

After Kelly’s conversation with relationship expert Jackie Dorman, she and Chip sit down to unpack the part no one really talks about… how much reality TV and social media might be shaping the way we date in real life.

Using The Bachelorette as the lens, this conversation leads to questions about whether we’ve started treating dating like a show—expecting instant sparks, constant entertainment, and just enough drama to keep things interesting.

They get into the subtle shift that’s happening in dating right now—where everything can start to feel a little more transactional than relational. All the messaging around empowerment and “knowing your worth” sounds good… but without nuance, it can quietly turn into “what are you going to give me?” instead of actually meeting someone where they are.

Kelly and Chip also question the role of reality TV itself. If these shows are built for ratings, not real love, what are we actually learning from them? And why are we so quick to take those dynamics and apply them to real life?

What The Bachelorette Drama Reveals About Modern Dating, Red Flags & Relationship Patterns (The Velvet)

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 07:00:00 +0000

ABC’s sudden cancellation of a season of The Bachelorette sparked a wave of reactions—but this conversation goes deeper than headlines.

Kelly sits down with relationship expert and former TV executive Jackie Dorman to unpack what this moment reveals about modern dating. From how media shapes the way we view relationships to why so many people repeat the same red flags, this episode explores the patterns that keep showing up in our love lives.

They talk through how past toxic relationships can influence current choices, why emotional healing matters before entering something new, and what real accountability actually looks like—both in dating and in the way we respond to it publicly.

Keeping the Peace vs. Telling the Truth in Relationships (The Edge)

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 07:00:00 +0000

Kelly and Chip take on the age-old question: are you keeping the peace… or avoiding the truth?

As a follow-up to Kelly’s Libra Full Moon episode with Master Astrologer Marvin Wilkerson, they bring the relationship themes into real life—talking about those moments when something feels off, but you don’t want to deal with it.

They also put it to the test with a “Keeping the Peace Olympics,” breaking down real-life scenarios to figure out what’s healthy compromise… and what’s quiet self-betrayal—with plenty of laughs along the way.

Monthly Astrology: When Relationships Reveal the Truth & What You Do Next (The Velvet)

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 11:37:31 +0000

Kelly sits down with Master Astrologer Marvin Wilkerson for this month’s astrology conversation, focusing less on prediction and more on the energetic themes showing up in real life.

This month highlights relationships as mirrors: where things feel out of balance, where truth is rising to the surface, and where something may be asking to shift, deepen, or end.

They discuss the energetic opportunities to dig deeper internally and ask the hard questions about the relationships in your life- Because once you see what’s no longer aligned, the next step is deciding what you’re going to do about it. With many planets moving into Aries, this is no longer a sit-and-think kind of energy, it's all moving towards action. Marv also breaks down all the other energetic themes we will shift through this month as other layers to these dynamics.

If things have felt intense, uncertain, or like you’re being pushed to move forward before you feel ready, this episode will help you understand why—and how to work with it.

Accountability or Public Shaming? Breaking Down Call-Out Culture (The Edge)

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 07:00:00 +0000

After Kelly’s conversation with somatic therapist Jordan Dann, she and Chip sit down to unpack the bigger question that came out of it: when someone messes up, are we actually holding them accountable… or just publicly shaming them?

They revisit key ideas from the conversation—like why shame doesn’t actually lead to change, why it feels so satisfying to watch someone get called out, and how quickly we jump to reaction instead of taking a second to think.

Chip brings his real-life perspective, Kelly brings the nuance, and together they explore how this shows up everywhere—from reality TV to relationships to everyday conflict.

It’s a casual, honest conversation that might make you look at “calling people out” a little differently.

Accountability or Public Shaming? The Truth About Call-Out Culture (The Velvet)

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 13:15:58 +0000

After a viral post from trauma-informed somatic therapist Jordan Dann sparked intense reactions online, this conversation takes a deeper look at something bigger than a reality TV reunion.

Kelly and Jordan unpack the difference between accountability and public shaming—and why the line between the two has become so blurred. What starts as a discussion about Love Is Blind quickly opens into a much larger conversation about how we process mistakes, conflict, and other people’s humanity in a world that increasingly rewards quick reactions over thoughtful reflection.

They explore why public punishment can feel satisfying to watch—but doesn’t actually lead to real growth. The conversation also dives into how shame actually impacts the nervous system, and whether we’ve started to confuse humiliation with justice. Along the way, they touch on Jordan’s writing about the collapse of critical thinking online—and what it means when we stop engaging with nuance altogether.

Kelly brings her own personal experiences into the discussion, offering an honest perspective on what it feels like to be misunderstood publicly—and why shame doesn’t lead to change, it leads to defensiveness.

Are We All Taking Life for Granted? (The Edge)

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 07:41:49 +0000

After Kelly’s conversation with Chef Chuck Hayworth about how illness can completely change your relationship with food, Kelly and Chip found themselves thinking about something bigger — all the everyday things we don’t really appreciate until they’re gone.

From the ability to eat normally to simple comforts like sleep, routines, and the people in our lives, this episode turns into a funny, honest, and surprisingly reflective conversation about why it often takes a disruption to notice what’s been there all along.

They talk through the small things that quietly make life better, why humans are wired to overlook them, and what might actually help us see our lives a little more clearly — without needing a wake-up call.

Food, Illness & Healing: A Conversation with Chef Chuck Hayworth (The Velvet)

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 08:49:51 +0000

Chef Chuck Hayworth built his life around food. As a young chef, cooking and eating were both his passion and his profession. But everything changed when he was diagnosed with a rare stomach tumor in his twenties — forcing him to completely rethink his relationship with food and how the body heals.

In this episode, Kelly sits down with Chuck for a relaxed, wide-ranging conversation about what it’s really like when eating becomes difficult during illness, how recovery can change the way you think about nourishment, and why food can play such an important role in supporting the body during treatment.

Chuck shares the personal experience that eventually led him to write The Chef’s Recovery, where he now helps others navigate the complicated relationship between food, illness, and healing.

This episode feels more like a thoughtful phone chat than a formal interview — exploring everything from the emotional side of eating during illness to what he’s learned more than two decades after his own cancer diagnosis.

Beauty, Aging & Plastic Surgery: Understanding the Changing Beauty Conversation (The Edge)

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 07:00:00 +0000

After Kelly’s conversation earlier this week with Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban, she and Chip zoom out to talk about the bigger beauty conversation happening right now.

Plastic surgery, Botox, and cosmetic procedures are more visible and openly discussed than ever before. Instead of judging the trend, Kelly and Chip explore why these conversations seem to be everywhere — and how social media, modern beauty culture, and evolving expectations around aging may be shaping the way we think about appearance.

They also discuss whether beauty pressure is changing for both men and women, how appearance standards show up in different communities, and the line between self-care, self-improvement, and feeling like you constantly need to “optimize” how you look.

This episode isn’t about telling anyone what they should or shouldn’t do — it’s about understanding the cultural moment we’re in and having an honest conversation about beauty, aging, and the choices people make around their appearance.

A Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon on Aging, Beauty Pressure & Choosing the Right Doctor with Dr. Rady Rahban (The Velvet)

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 07:00:00 +0000

Plastic surgery is often presented as a fast track to confidence — but the reality is far more complex.

Kelly sits down with Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban to talk about the cultural shift around cosmetic procedures, the pressure to look younger, and why plastic surgery is still major surgery that deserves serious thought.

They explore the deeper motivations behind cosmetic procedures, how beauty standards have evolved in the social media era, and what responsible surgeons want patients to understand before going under the knife.

The conversation also covers how to evaluate a plastic surgeon, the red flags people should watch for, and how to approach aging with a healthier perspective in a culture that constantly pushes us to fight it.

Small Joys in a Chaotic World (The Edge)

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 08:00:00 +0000

There’s a lot happening in the world right now. Instead of adding to the noise, Kelly and Chip decided to do the opposite — slow down and talk about the small things that still make life feel good.

After Kelly’s astrology conversation earlier this week with master astrologer Marvin Wilkerson about the bigger energetic shifts happening right now, this episode shifts the focus toward something lighter. It’s about finding grounding, laughter, and perspective in the middle of chaotic times.

Kelly and Chip share the everyday things helping them reset lately — music, being outside, stepping away from constant information, and the simple moments that remind us life is still good.

Because even in overwhelming times, joy is still everywhere if we’re paying attention.

Kelly sits down with Master Astrologer Marvin Wilkerson to discuss the major energetic themes shaping this moment—from collective shifts happening in society to the deeper cycles of change that astrology suggests we’re moving through.

This conversation explores the bigger picture of the current astrology: why periods of upheaval often precede transformation, how planetary cycles mirror collective change, and what this moment might be asking of us personally.

Dating Standards vs Emotional Walls: What’s Really Happening? (The Edge)

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 08:00:00 +0000

Kelly and Chip dive into a surprisingly tricky dating question: when are high standards truly healthy — and when are they actually protective armor?

They talk about modern dating patterns, the psychology of rejecting people too fast, and how swipe culture may be training us to see others as endlessly replaceable. Inspired by a thought-provoking idea about emotional walls, the conversation explores how avoidance can disguise itself as “being selective,” often without us realizing it.

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 09:24:52 +0000

Lauren Salaun — transformational facilitator, somatic coach, and feminine embodiment expert — joins Kelly to break down a pattern many successful women quietly experience: feeling accomplished in life but frustrated in love.

From nervous system regulation to emotional energy, Kelly and Lauren discuss the subtle ways survival mode, over-functioning, and identity shape romantic dynamics. They also tackle the often-misunderstood topic of feminine and masculine energy, offering a refreshing take that avoids clichés and rigid gender rules.

If you’ve ever questioned your standards, your attraction patterns, or why dating feels energetically exhausting, this conversation reframes the narrative.

Why We Try to Fix Everyone: Kelly & Chip on Emotional Support (The Edge)

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 12:45:20 +0000

After Kelly’s Wednesday conversation with therapist and author Nidhi Tewari about attunement and communication, Kelly and Chip take the discussion into real-world territory.

Why do we immediately jump into advice when someone is upset? How often are people actually asking for solutions versus simply wanting to be heard? And why do certain “supportive” phrases somehow make things worse?

Through relatable scenarios, gut-reaction moments, and playful debates, Kelly and Chip unpack the instinct to fix, the pressure to say the right thing, and the subtle ways we misread what others need from us. The conversation also dives into why emotions make so many people uncomfortable — and how that shapes friendships, dating, and everyday interactions.

A lighter, honest look at communication habits, emotional support, and the phrases that can either calm a moment… or completely derail it.

The Science of Attunement: Stop Fixing, Start Connecting (The Velvet)

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 08:00:00 +0000

Licensed clinical social worker and EMDR therapist Nidhi Tewari joins Kelly to discuss the powerful skill most of us were never taught: attunement. Based on her upcoming book Working Well, this conversation explores why trying to “fix” others often backfires, what to say when someone is overwhelmed, and how small conversational habits quietly shape trust.

Is the Spark Overrated? Dating Apps, Chemistry & the Illusion of Choice (The Edge)

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 08:00:00 +0000

Is “the spark” actually a reliable sign of compatibility — or something that’s quietly sabotaging modern dating?

Kelly and Chip unpack the difference between butterflies and nervous system chaos, why instant chemistry can be misleading, and how swipe culture keeps us stuck in constant evaluation mode. The conversation dives into dating apps, the “just one more swipe” mindset, choice overload, and why too many options can make dating feel exhausting instead of exciting.

They also explore a counterintuitive truth about attraction: why feeling understood and emotionally safe often matters more than being impressed — and how calm, healthy connections can be mistaken for boredom.

A relatable, honest look at dating, chemistry, and what actually creates connection.

Modern Dating, Swipe Culture & What Actually Creates Lasting Love with April Beyer (The Velvet)

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 13:25:16 +0000

Dating feels harder than ever. Dating apps, endless options, and swipe culture have left many people confused, burned out, and questioning what actually leads to real love.

In this episode, Kelly talks with April Beyer, a 25-year professional matchmaker and founder of LEVEL Connections, about why modern dating feels broken — and what truly creates lasting relationships. With an 89% matchmaking success rate and hundreds of marriages, April shares what she’s learned from decades of helping people find long-term love.

They explore why more options don’t lead to better choices, how swipe culture keeps people stuck in evaluation mode, and why chemistry and “spark” are often confused with emotional connection. April explains why relatability, emotional safety, and self-awareness matter more than shared interests or attraction, and how unresolved patterns quietly shape who we choose.

The conversation also covers why matchmaking works differently than dating apps, how third-party guidance helps interrupt self-sabotage, and where AI can support dating — without replacing human intuition.

If you’re feeling discouraged by dating or stuck in the same relationship patterns, this episode offers clarity, reassurance, and a grounded reframe on what actually lasts.

Is This a Phase or a Pivot? Navigating Change, Burnout & Doing Life Differently (The Edge)

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 08:00:00 +0000

In this Friday check-in, Kelly and Chip get personal about a feeling they both can’t ignore lately: we can’t do it this way anymore. From work and routines to relationships and expectations, they talk through the tension between wondering “Is this just a phase?” or realizing it might actually be a pivot.

They also share their current micro rebellions — the small, quiet choices that feel like acts of self-trust and resistance in a world that constantly asks for more, faster, louder. Plus, Kelly and Chip give an update on life in Nashville following the recent ice storm and what moments like that reveal about resilience, support, and community.

February Astrology 2026. New Moons, Saturn in Aries & What’s Being Rebuilt with Master Astrologer Marvin Wilkerson (The Velvet)

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Early 2026 brings astrology that doesn’t whisper—it demands clarity.

In this episode, Kelly is joined by Master Astrologer Marvin Wilkerson to explore the Capricorn and Aquarius New Moons shaping January and February 2026, along with the deeper planetary shifts redefining identity, responsibility, and direction.

Pluto’s influence pushes honest conversations, firm decisions, and the dismantling of structures that no longer support growth. Neptune’s move into Aries begins a rare 165-year cycle, awakening spiritual courage and the desire to live with greater authenticity. The Leo Full Moon spotlights self-expression and the need to be seen for who you truly are, while Saturn’s entrance into Aries asks for maturity, patience, and sustainable action.

This conversation focuses on what it means to rebuild with intention—choosing integrity over impulse, consistency over performance, and long-term alignment over short-term approval.

Ketamine Therapy: Curious, Skeptical, or Somewhere in Between? (The Edge)

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 08:00:00 +0000

Ketamine therapy is everywhere right now — and opinions about it are strong. Some people see it as a breakthrough in mental health. Others feel uneasy about what it means to bring a drug like ketamine into a therapeutic setting.

In this Friday episode, Kelly and Chip have an honest, open conversation about where they actually land. Kelly asks Chip whether he’d ever consider ketamine therapy himself, and he shares insights from friends who have tried it — what seemed helpful, what raised questions, and what surprised him.

Together, they unpack why ketamine tends to be judged differently than antidepressants or other psychiatric medications. They talk about the cultural line we draw between “acceptable” mental health treatments and those that feel more controversial, and what that says about how we think about healing, control, and stigma.

Ketamine, Neuroplasticity, and Why Real Healing Isn’t a Quick Fix (The Velvet)

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 13:02:35 +0000

Ketamine has quickly become one of the most talked-about — and misunderstood — tools in mental health. Some see it as a miracle cure. Others are skeptical or uneasy about the hype. But what if the real story isn’t about a breakthrough drug at all — and instead about how the brain actually heals?

In this episode, Kelly sits down with Sharon Niv, cognitive psychologist and co-founder of Joyous PBC, to unpack what’s really happening beneath the headlines. Sharon shares how psycholytic, daily low-dose ketamine works differently than the high-dose, clinic-based experiences most people hear about — and why a gentler, habit-focused approach may lead to more sustainable change.

Together, they explore why so many of us are anxious, burned out, and searching for relief right now; how neuroplasticity allows the brain to genuinely rewrite old emotional patterns; and why symptom relief alone often isn’t enough. Sharon explains what people tend to uncover when the nervous system softens — from long-held shame and grief to survival strategies we didn’t even realize were running the show.

This conversation goes beyond medication to talk about integration, daily practices, safety, skepticism, and accessibility — and what healing actually requires from us as participants, not just patients. If you’ve ever wondered whether treatments like ketamine are a shortcut… or an invitation into deeper self-understanding, this episode offers a grounded, thoughtful perspective.

Less Reaction, More Intention (The Edge)

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 08:00:00 +0000

These days, it feels like everything—especially politics—is designed to divide us. The outrage, the blame game, the constant fighting…it’s like throwing salt on a wound, making things worse instead of better. After Kelly's conversation with author, psychologist and executive coach, Dr. Harry Cohen, this week, Kelly and Chip ask: What if we approached things differently? If we’re all looking at the world through different lenses, how do we hold space for those differences without working against each other—and against ourselves? They explore how negativity and conflict are being used to manipulate us, why kindness and unity are often dismissed as weak or boring, and the small but powerful shifts we can make to actually create change.

Connection Is Survival: Why We’re So Divided, Lonely, and On Edge (The Velvet)

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 13:01:42 +0000

Between political tension, social media, and constant bad news, it can feel like everyone is either fighting, shutting down, or both. But according to couples therapist and author Carolyn Sharp, there’s something deeper happening in the brain.

In this episode, Carolyn returns to talk about her new book Fire It Up: Four Secrets to Reigniting Intimacy and Joy in Your Relationships and her TEDx talk Connection = Survival. She breaks down the two powerful forces driving human behavior — survival and connection — and why so many of us are stuck in survival mode right now, reacting to disagreement as if our safety is being threatened.

Kelly and Carolyn unpack the loneliness epidemic, how social media creates the illusion of connection while leaving us more isolated, and why curiosity is one of the most radical tools we have in a divided world. If everything feels heavier lately — from relationships to online discourse to the state of the world — this conversation explains why… and what we can actually do about it.

Closing the Chapter You’ve Outgrown (The Velvet)

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 12:33:57 +0000

There’s a moment when something quietly but firmly ends.

Not because it’s resolved — but because you’re done carrying it.

In this episode, Kelly and master astrologer Marvin Wilkerson talk about the energetic themes shaping January — a turning point that marks the end of a long emotional and spiritual chapter, and the beginning of a more self-directed one. This isn’t about fixing or understanding everything. It’s about recognizing what no longer fits, releasing outdated roles, and choosing to stop postponing your own needs.

The conversation centers on boundaries, responsibility, and the shift from tolerating confusion to making clear, grounded decisions. Less explaining. More choosing. Less endurance. More intention. This is the moment when survival gives way to direction — and clarity comes through action.

The Burnout You Didn’t See Coming: Invisible Labor, Tolerations & Why You’re Drained (The Edge)

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 08:00:00 +0000

As this long, energetically heavy year winds down, Kelly opens the episode with a few life updates before diving into a conversation that hits especially hard right now. She and Chip explore the kind of burnout that doesn’t always look like burnout—the invisible labor people carry, the quiet “tolerations” that drain energy, and the subtle emotional loads that build over time.

They break down how these often-overlooked stressors lead to deeper exhaustion, mental fatigue, and resentment long before most of us recognize what’s happening. It’s a grounded, relatable look at what many are feeling as the year closes out and a reminder of what’s worth evaluating before stepping into a new chapter.

If things have felt heavier than usual or you’re craving clarity heading into the new year, this conversation offers perspective that might land exactly where it’s needed.

They’re about identity, self-worth, emotional patterns, and the stories we’ve been carrying for decades.

Shannah opens up about the major life resets that forced her to look at money — and herself — in a completely new way. She and Kelly explore how trauma, childhood beliefs, fear, and shame quietly shape our financial lives, why so many women hit midlife and feel the urge to start over, and how hormones and menopause can impact everything from our spending to our sense of safety and stability.

They also dive into Shannah’s Heal–Plan–Build framework and the deeper emotional work required to shift money patterns that no budget can fix.

If you’re ready to understand the emotional side of money — or you’re in a season of rebuilding who you are — this conversation brings clarity, compassion, and a fresh sense of possibility.

Society talks endlessly about having kids — but no one really talks about not having them. This week, Kelly and Chip open up about what it’s like to live a child-free life in a world that still expects everyone to follow the same script.

From identity and purpose to societal expectations and double standards, this is a real, honest conversation about a lifestyle that’s more common than people admit — but rarely discussed.

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 12:09:14 +0000

What if fertility wasn’t just about reproduction — but a reflection of your entire body’s vitality?

In this episode, Kelly sits down with dietitian, researcher, and author Rachel Swanson, whose upcoming book Trying!: A Science-Backed Plan to Optimize Your Fertility is redefining how women think about reproductive health.

Rachel shares her groundbreaking “Fertility 2.0” framework — a whole-body approach that connects gut, oral, and vaginal health, metabolic balance, and even sleep to hormone harmony and long-term vitality. From how your partner’s microbiome might affect conception (yes, even kissing!) to the most common disruptors quietly impacting your hormones every day, this conversation offers science-backed insights and simple, empowering shifts every woman should know.

Whether you’re trying to conceive or simply trying to feel your best, this episode reframes fertility as a vital sign of overall health — one that reveals how well your body, energy, and emotions are truly aligned.

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 10:23:53 +0000

Kelly speaks with Jon Slavet, Founder of Halftime with Jon (HTJ), the network for men at midlife. As an executive and entrepreneur in tech, Jon has led multiple consumer companies from start-up to scaled-up. Earlier in his career he worked at NPR, E!, and Wired. After his personal experience with Divorce at midlife, he was motivated to launch HTJ to support and inspire men going through life-changing experiences.

With a combination of expert commentary and moments of levity, the podcast delivers the practical tools and emotional strength men need to successfully navigate one of the toughest experiences of their lives.

Kelly and Jon talk about what a "successful" divorce actually looks like, how and when to start dating and having sexual relationships after divorce, why divorce/separation can be more isolating for men and why a relationship isn't a failure just because it ended.

When the Female Orgasm Leaves Him Speechless (The Edge)

Fri, 12 Sep 2025 18:30:57 +0000

Kelly and Chip are back—well, sort of. After realizing Chip had literally nothing to add to Kelly’s deep dive with sex expert Kim Anami about the female orgasm, we decided to take a different approach. The sexual conversation continues...

Kelly and Chip talk to intimacy expert, Susan Bratton, on all things intimacy and sex. Kelly inquires about why sex is the one area of our lives that we don't put the growth work into like we do everything else. Chip discovers new questions about sexual soulmates. Susan also talks about her own journey from being unsatisfied sexually in her marriage and finally speaking up to her husband and choosing intimacy over divorce. She gives tips on taking the sexual growth step solo or with your partner to keep evolving sexually. The purpose of this conversation is to normalize a topic that has become so "taboo" to discuss yet is a fixture in every person's day to day life. Susan teaches that there is beauty in learning together, even if it is a bit uncomfortable first.

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 10:55:00 +0000

Licensed clinical psychologist and relationship coach Dr. Jaime Zuckerman (Dr. Z) unpacks today’s cultural obsession with narcissism and explains why the term has become one of the most overused buzzwords of modern psychology.

The episode explores the insidious nature of narcissistic abuse—how confusion, gaslighting, and trauma bonding can leave victims doubting themselves long after the relationship ends. Dr. Z discusses who may be more susceptible to these dynamics, the connection between narcissism and addiction, and the psychological mechanisms that keep people stuck in toxic relationships.

Practical strategies for recovery and healing are also addressed, including reclaiming boundaries, rebuilding self-trust, and taking back personal power. This conversation provides clarity for anyone seeking to understand narcissism more deeply and insight for those navigating the lasting impact of narcissistic abuse.

Whether you’re navigating relationships, building trust at work, or just want to sharpen your “noticer” skills, this conversation will change the way you see people (and yourself) forever.

The Truth About Women, Work & Power – with Bonnie Hammer (The Velvet)

Wed, 13 Aug 2025 18:12:00 +0000

Bonnie Hammer spent decades running the most high-pressure, male-dominated rooms in entertainment as the former Vice Chair of NBCUniversal — launching hits like Suits, Mr. Robot, and The Sinner along the way. Now, she’s telling the truth about the “empowering” career advice that’s actually holding women back.

In this conversation, we dive into her new book 15 Lies Women Are Told at Work…and the Truth We Need to Succeed, breaking down why “just work hard,” “your work speaks for itself,” and “know your worth” can keep women small, silent, and stuck. Bonnie shares how to lead without hardening, the underestimated traits that make women incredible leaders, and what success looks like when you finally choose yourself.

It’s an honest, career-meets-self-worth conversation about ambition, boundaries, and redefining power on your own terms.

Grief Isn’t a Straight Line: Rethinking How We Heal What We’ve Lost (The Edge)

Fri, 25 Jul 2025 16:29:10 +0000

Grief comes in all forms—and it’s not just about losing someone. In this episode, Kelly and Chip get honest (and a little unhinged) about the messy, weird, and very real ways grief has shown up in their lives. From heartbreaks and identity shifts to the quiet losses no one talks about, they explore how our culture often skips past grief—and why that doesn’t really work. With their usual mix of humor and heart, they share what’s helped them move through it, what definitely hasn’t, and why healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. If you’ve ever felt like you were doing grief “wrong,” this is your reminder: you’re not.

What If We’ve Been Getting Grief All Wrong? Finding the Magic in the Tragic with John Tsilimparis (The Velvet)

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 12:04:32 +0000

Grief isn’t just about death—it shows up in breakups, job loss, identity shifts, and the quiet heartbreaks of everyday life. In this episode, Kelly sits down with grief expert and psychotherapist John Tsilimparis, author of The Magic in the Tragic, to talk about grief recovery, emotional healing, and why our culture gets grief all wrong.

They discuss how unresolved grief can fuel anxiety and panic, the power of mindfulness in emotional chaos, and practical tools for those navigating loss. If you’ve been taught to rush through grief or skip over heartbreak, John offers a completely different approach—one rooted in compassion, mindfulness, and emotional honesty. He shares tangible tools for navigating anxiety, moving through pain instead of avoiding it, and finding meaning in the mess—even when our culture doesn’t give us permission to grieve.

Can We Talk About the Real Fight Now? (Spoiler: It’s Not the Dishes) (The Edge)

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Whether it’s a tense moment mid-podcast, a weird fight with your partner, or a silent meltdown over the dishwasher—this week, Kelly and Chip dig into the moments that seem small but hit surprisingly hard. Inspired by a real-time disagreement between Kelly and astrologer Marv, they explore how emotional triggers sneak into our reactions... and how it’s rarely about what we think it’s about.

From ego flare-ups to awkward self-awareness, they break down:
– Why that “tiny” comment felt like a personal attack
– How to tell the difference between overreacting and finally reacting
– What to say when you’re actually feeling hurt (and not just mad about the text)
– And the art of not combusting at the cookout

With the 4th of July around the corner—aka prime time for family tension and wine-fueled sensitivity—Kelly and Chip offer real (and funny) tips to help you pause, reflect, and maybe not flip a table over the potato salad.

Because the fight’s rarely about the thing… it’s about what the thing poked in you.

From soul lessons to soft shells, and how our ego can still run the show, this episode is both a cosmic download and a raw, real-time reminder that astrology isn’t just something we study—it’s something we live.

Revenge vs. Resilience: Why Failing Forward Is the Real Flex (The Edge)

Fri, 20 Jun 2025 10:16:23 +0000

While Chip and Kelly take the week off, listen back to one of their all-time favorite episodes: “Revenge vs. Resilience: Why Failing Forward Is the Real Flex.”

In this throwback convo, they dive into society’s twisted relationship with success and unpack why failure isn’t something to hide—it’s something to honor. From Oprah to Steve Jobs, they explore how setbacks shaped some of the most powerful comeback stories of our time.

And with this week’s Wednesday episode exploring revenge as a brain-based addiction, this conversation hits even harder. When we’re hurt or rejected, it’s easy to reach for blame or bitterness—but what if resilience is the real rebellion? What if failure is the first step, not the end?

Revenge Is a Hell of a Drug: Why We Crave It—And How to Break Free (The Velvet)

Wed, 18 Jun 2025 12:10:24 +0000

We’ve all felt that fire—the urge to get even, to make someone feel the pain they caused us. But at what point does that fire start burning us? This week, Kelly sits down with Yale Psychiatry lecturer, lawyer, and author James Kimmel, Jr. to explore the gripping science behind revenge—and why it behaves more like an addiction than a rational choice.

In his new book The Science of Revenge, James reveals how holding a grudge activates the same neural pathways as drug cravings and how many of us get stuck in revenge loops without even realizing it. Together, they unpack why revenge is so seductive, what it’s doing to our health and society, and the surprisingly powerful antidotes backed by neuroscience.

In this episode:

Why revenge feels so good… until it doesn’t
How ruminating on a grievance wires the brain for addiction
The real difference between forgiveness and letting someone off the hook
How mindfulness, gratitude, and self-compassion help break the cycle
What James believes could be the next major public health shift

This one goes deep—and it just might change how you think about justice, healing, and freedom.

In this follow-up to Kelly’s conversation with Human Design expert Emma Dunwoody, Chip comes in hot with all the beginner questions — because he’s never heard of Human Design (and has a lot of thoughts). From understanding what it actually is to figuring out if it’s helpful or just another “life hack,” Kelly and Chip unpack their personal takes on self-discovery, purpose, and whether society has put too much pressure on us all to find “the one thing” we’re here to do.

They also dive into why Kelly loves exploring tools like Human Design in the first place — breaking down her curiosity around life’s bigger questions and how different modalities can support spiritual growth. The conversation gets real about religion, personal belief systems, and how these practices can add depth (not conflict) to your existing faith or inner journey.

Feelings, Emotions, and Other Things We’re Still Confused About (Thanks, Marv) (The Edge)

Fri, 06 Jun 2025 07:00:00 +0000

This episode was inspired by Wednesday’s astrology chat with Marvin Wilkerson, where Kelly and Marv got into a full-on (loving) debate about the difference between feelings, emotions, and intuition. It turns out… that convo kind of broke Kelly’s brain.

So today, Kelly and Chip are picking up the thread—trying to figure out what it actually means to move from a feeling (not an emotion, not a thought), and how the hell you’re supposed to know whether you’re being led by intuition or just plain fear.

Spoiler: we’re still confused. But we’re breaking it all down the best we can—and asking for your help. How do you tell the difference between a gut feeling and a panic spiral disguised as clarity?

June Astrology Forecast with Marvin Wilkerson: Are You Moving from Intuition, Emotion, or Mental Noise? (The Velvet)

Wed, 04 Jun 2025 11:53:11 +0000

Master astrologer and coach, Marvin Wilkerson, joins Kelly for the June astrology forecast—and things get philosophical fast. Together, they explore the key astrological events of the month, including the Gemini New Moon, Sagittarius Full Moon, and the tense square between Saturn, Neptune, and Jupiter—which all challenge the way we think, believe, and perceive truth.

The Sayings That Sound Nice… But Kinda Suck (And What to Say Instead) (The Edge)

Fri, 25 Apr 2025 07:00:00 +0000

You’ve probably said them—or heard them—in tough times: “Everything happens for a reason,” “Time heals all wounds,” “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” But do these popular sayings actually help us heal… or just shut us down?

In this episode, Kelly and Chip break down some of the most common feel-good phrases we hear in hard moments—and explain why they might be oversimplifying real-life pain, struggle, and growth. From “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” to “if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life,” they dig into where these ideas fall short and how they can unintentionally cause harm.

But don’t worry—it’s not all doom and dismissiveness. They also offer more grounded, compassionate alternatives that make space for both truth and growth. Because sometimes, the best way to move forward is to stop pretending it’s all fine.

Fear vs. The Big Fat Juicy Life: Why We Crave Chaos & How to Choose Joy Instead (The Edge)

Fri, 18 Apr 2025 15:28:36 +0000

What if the biggest thing holding us back from living our most joyful, embodied, juicy lives… is fear? In this episode, Kelly and Chip explore our strange addiction to fear—why we’re drawn to scary movies, clickbait headlines, worst-case scenarios, and that constant low-level anxiety so many of us live with.

They break down what’s happening in the nervous system, how dopamine and fear keep us in loops we don’t even realize we’re in, and how to start shifting toward more presence, courage, and clarity.

Inspired by Kelly’s interview with Stephanie James (Your Big Fat Juicy Life), the convo turns into a real talk about trust, media noise, and how to choose joy even when the world feels chaotic. And yes—Chip had some reservations about doing this episode in the first place, which led to some surprising insights on how differently we all process fear.

This one’s about coming home to yourself, getting clear, and living life in full color—because fear may sell, but joy is what we came here for.

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 07:00:00 +0000

This episode explores how grief, loss, and uncertainty can actually be doorways into deeper joy, how we can move through emotional heaviness instead of avoiding it, and why our soul is always craving expansion.

From Grief to the Sideline Shimmy: Lauren Sisler’s Story of Loss, Shame & Resilience (The Velvet)

Wed, 09 Apr 2025 08:29:54 +0000

You may know Lauren Sisler as the Emmy Award-winning ESPN sideline reporter with the signature sideline shimmy — but what you might not know is the heartbreaking story behind her smile.

At just 18 years old, Lauren lost both of her parents to a hidden opioid addiction… on the same day. In this episode, Lauren opens up about the shame, silence, and grief she carried for years — and how she slowly found her voice, her purpose, and the power of falling in love with her story.

We talk about what shame really looks like for children of addicts, how addiction affects the whole family, and how Lauren turned her most painful experience into a mission to help others own their stories, too.

This conversation is raw, honest, and incredibly inspiring reminder that even in the darkest moments, healing is possible.

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Kelly and Chip dive into the buzzy world of “trauma”—what it really means, how to tell the difference between an actual trauma response and just a bad day, and why our culture has a habit of taking meaningful words and running them into the ground. From “boundaries” and “healing journeys” to being in your “main character era,” nothing is off limits. It’s part thoughtful, part ridiculous, and fully relatable.

Is It Trauma or Just a Hard Time? Brittany Piper on Nervous System Recovery (The Velvet)

Wed, 26 Mar 2025 07:00:00 +0000

The word trauma is everywhere these days, but how do you know if you’re actually dealing with trauma—or just going through a rough patch? Kelly sits down with Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner Brittany Piper to break it all down, including why traditional talk therapy often isn’t enough to fully heal.

Brittany explains how trauma is stored in the body, not just the brain, and why talking about it can only take you so far. In her new book, Body-First Healing: A Revolutionary Guide to Nervous System Recovery, she shares science-backed somatic practices—that help release stored trauma and reset the nervous system.

They also dive into big questions: Do we all have trauma, or has the term become overused? Have we become an emotionally weak society, or are we just finally paying attention? And in a world that constantly keeps us in chronic stress, what can we actually do to bring our nervous systems back to balance?

If Our Bodies Could Text Us… (Plus Health Trends We’d Never Try) (The Edge)

Fri, 14 Mar 2025 07:00:00 +0000

This week, Kelly clues Chip in on her convo with root cause health expert and plant medicine practitioner Christy Nault — and things get weird in the best way. From parasite cleanses to coffee enemas (Chip’s literal nightmare?), they dive into the wildest health trends they’ve tried or refuse to try. Plus, what would your body say if it could text you? They also get real about ignoring health red flags, what they wish doctors would say, and whether they’d rather give up coffee or alcohol for a year (spoiler: not an easy choice). If you’ve ever wondered if everyone has parasites or if microdosing mushrooms is just a fancy way to vibe through Trader Joe’s, this one’s for you.

The Root Cause of Healing: Chronic Illness, Microdosing & Plant Medicine with Christy Nault (The Velvet)

Wed, 12 Mar 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Christy Nault has helped over 15,000 people heal from chronic illness — but her journey to becoming a Root Cause Health Practitioner and Plant Medicine expert is deeply personal. After watching her brother suffer from a severe vaccine injury that ultimately took his life, and battling her own long list of chronic conditions — from endometriosis and Lyme to mold toxicity, OCD, and more — Christy made it her life’s mission to uncover why the body breaks down and how to truly heal.

In this powerful conversation, Christy shares what led her to look beyond conventional medicine, how she learned that the body is its own healer, and why true healing must address physical, emotional, and spiritual roots. We also dive into the world of microdosing — what it is (and what it’s not), how mushrooms like psilocybin are transforming emotional healing, and how her MicroFlow supplements are helping people “de-program the deep program.”

Christy breaks down her “Order of Operations” for parasite cleansing, the signs you may need to detox, and how to safely support your body’s natural healing systems. Whether you’re struggling with chronic illness, emotional trauma, or just feeling stuck, Christy’s wealth of knowledge offers hope and real solutions.

Topics we cover:

• What root cause healing really means

• How to safely cleanse parasites and why it matters

• Microdosing vs. recreational use — and who it can help

• Psilocybin for emotional healing and nervous system regulation

• Why you can heal, even when you’ve been told you can’t

Kelly asked her Instagram followers: “What’s something you used to chase that now you realize isn’t important?”—and the responses did not disappoint. From external validation to the pursuit of “success,” she and Chip break down the things we all thought would bring happiness but really just led to exhaustion. Chip gets unexpectedly honest in this episode (seriously, he almost made Kelly cry twice) as they reflect on personal growth, letting go of outdated beliefs, and what’s actually worth chasing in life.

Sweetening the Soul: How Conscious Indulgence & Holistic Healing Create a Joyful Life (The Velvet)

Wed, 19 Feb 2025 08:00:00 +0000

What if your favorite indulgence could also be a tool for healing and self-connection? Emily Pogany, intuitive holistic healer, psychic medium, and founder of MASAH, joins me to talk about her journey of blending Western medicine with Eastern healing practices to create a more balanced, joyful life.

Emily shares how growing up with a pharmacist father shaped her understanding of both traditional and holistic medicine, how she honed her psychic gifts, and why self-connection is the key to true well-being. We also dive into her unique creation- chakra-infused caramels charged with Reiki and the deeper meaning behind conscious indulgence.

We discuss:

- The connection between spiritual, emotional, and physical health

- Why personal and spiritual development are essentially the same

- The importance of ‘woo woo’ practices like shadow work, breath work, and past life healing

- How conscious consumption (yes, even of candy and wine!) can deepen your connection to yourself

If you’ve ever felt drawn to explore your intuitive side but weren’t sure where to start, this conversation will help you reframe healing, joy, and self-care in a whole new way.

We've all been taught to work on our careers, our health, and our personal growth—but when it comes to relationships, intimacy, and sex, many of us assume things should just click with the right person. But what if intimacy is a skill—one that we can develop and refine?

In this episode, I sit down with Danielle Harel, Ph.D., and Celeste Hirschman, M.A., co-founders of the Somatica® Institute, to explore how experiential learning can transform the way we approach love, connection, and desire. We break down:

- Why intimacy is a skill, not just chemistry—and how to practice it in everyday life

- How trauma shapes desire and how to reclaim sexual energy after past wounds

- The crucial role of relationship repair in building trust, emotional safety, and deeper passion

- The psychology of arousal—how early experiences shape attraction and desire

- The surprising link between sexual fulfillment and overall health—from stress reduction to immune function

- How breaking free from shame around sex can lead to greater confidence and personal empowerment

Plus, Danielle and Celeste share insights from their books—Making Love Real, Coming Together, and Confidence—and details on new Somatica classes launching for Valentine's Day.

Kelly's Favorite Conversations: Shedding: What is Human Design & How It Can Help Find Your Purpose (The Velvet)

Wed, 29 May 2024 05:00:00 +0000

Kelly welcomes Master Coach and Human Behavior Specialist, Emma Dunwoody, to give listeners the foundations of Human Design.

The women discuss the difference between Human Design and other personality tests, talk compatibility via HD and Emma breaks down the first pieces of each chart to help listeners understand how Human Design just may be the guide they need to find their life's purpose.
"When you can understand your human design chart, you understand your truth. Oftentimes when we're trying to change our lives, we're doing it the way we think we should do it. Whereas with human design, it's literally our energetic blueprint, and it flips the transformation process... 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"

Nurture: Mirror Mirror On The Wall (The Velvet)

Wed, 13 Dec 2023 17:20:49 +0000

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!

Cobwebs: Does Sex Get Better With Age with Sex Expert, Susan Bratton (The Edge)

Fri, 20 Oct 2023 15:45:00 +0000

Kelly and Chip revisit a conversation with sex expert, Susan Bratton, that has them asking the question - does sex get better with age?
Plenty of studies and research have suggested that sex does get better with age, and that it's a habit that only improves with experience and understanding of self. So contrary to common myth, you're unlikely to be having the best sex of your life in your 20s. That particular accolade kicks in a few years later. -https://www.flashpack.com/us/solo/relationships/better-sex-30s-40s-empowerment/#:~:text=Plenty%20of%20studies%20and%20research,in%20a%20few%20years%20later.

In this conversation, Susan is discussing the importance of sex for mental health, but ends up telling a story about having sex with her husband the night before and what that looks like in her 60’s. Susan addresses how unhappy she was previously in their sex life and what changed for her and them once she decided to voice her needs and they began exploring more. Susan also explains how that situation ultimately led her to create her current business of teaching couples about having heart connected, mind blowing sex at any age.

Kelly and Chip welcome award winning porn director, Jacky St. James to the podcast to discuss her life working in the adult entertainment industry. Jacky is known for her feminist approach to porn and describes how the process of writing and directing a porn film has many similarities to other kinds of film shoots. She also tells the story of fearlessly abandoning the life she once sought as an actress and taking the risk to jump into porn. Jacky is also currently getting her master's degree in Family and Marriage Psychology which leads the conversation to dissect much about the connection of psychology to human sexuality and why she sees this everyday in her line of work. They also discuss the fear around discussing porn, yet the fact that the billion dollar industry doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.
Whether you agree with porn or not, knowledge is power. Kelly discusses why understanding the porn industry is helping her let go of (abandon) some of her preconceived notions and fears about the industry in general.

Kelly's Favorite Conversations: Owning Your Uniqueness, Guarding Your Energy and Growing in Relationships with Healing & Movement Teacher, Melissa Sgambelluri. (The Velvet)

Wed, 05 Jul 2023 05:00:00 +0000

"Find people who have what you want and learn how they got it."

Kelly uses that tip to have a conversation with healing and movement teacher, Melissa Sgambelluri. Melissa's story of being on American Idol and getting out of toxic relationships-to finding her true self in a new career and love in a safe, loving, growth oriented relationship is intriguing to say the least. Kelly describes Melissa's energy as playful, warm, calm, peaceful, confident and creative and Melissa tells the story of how and why she got there.
Melissa explains why so many women are facing burnout.
"Sometimes the true power of the feminine is in the power of letting yourself be." Melissa talks about the messiness of healing, the power of not forcing and the beauty in owning your uniqueness.
"Everyone is out there trying to have the same body type and do the same thing, but your true power is in being uniquely you. Everyone comes here with their own gift or gifts."
Melissa reminds us that nobody actually has it figured out and encourages everyone to take some of the pressure off of ourselves. On most days (regardless of how it looks online) most people are just doing the best they can that day. We say "I am not there yet........except 'yet' actually doesn't exist." It's all about today and the now.

Helpful dating tip: She explains the difference between a true masculine energy and a masculine man operating from a feminine energy (think bar fights and chaos).

For more on Melissa, including her connection and flow classes, check out her Instagram @melissa_sgambelluri or her website mellisasgambelluri.com.

Awareness: I Am Here For Me with Nicole Christie (The Velvet)

: Kelly welcomes writer, podcaster, and entrepreneur with a passion for storytelling, Nicole Christie. Founder & CEO of Tulla (tools) Productions, and host of the Here For Me Podcast. Nicole spent many years working in communications for Microsoft and it wasn't until she had two major health crises back to back that she realized she needed a life change. Nicole speaks to the way our body processes or doesn't process emotions and how that can manifest physically. She also speaks to the chronic stress she was under working in the corporate world while trying to manage a marriage with narcissistic abuse. Nicole and Kelly both let the listeners into the inner workings of their similar relationships and talk about how being a part of those relationships looked in their lives.

"For me it isn't about diagnosing anyone else anymore, it's about listening to my body when it's speaking to me and not trying to turn the other way. It's about how I am behaving and feeling in each situation, not the other person."
The women also talk about the recovery process from a relationship like this and often how difficult it is to actually leave.

"I kept saying to people- I just want my brain back."

The conversation is candid, but raw and real.

Your Brain Is Just Trying To Keep You Safe (The Velvet)

Wed, 19 Apr 2023 05:00:00 +0000

Kelly is joined by her "brain therapist," certified LENS practitioner, Sheri Rowney, to talk about neurofeedback therapy and why it works. Sheri breaks down the way the wiring in the brain works and what happens to our brains when we experience something traumatic to alter that wire.

"The interesting thing about our brains is that they are literally always just trying to keep us safe. Sometimes they just go about the wrong way of doing that and it impedes our normal function."

Kelly spoke openly about how this particular therapy has helped her dramatically in the last few months after feeling like she was "sleepwalking" through life and unable to find any motivation or drive or even normal thought processes.

"I just kept saying, I just want to feel like myself again and when you told me that 95% of my brain was in Delta (sleeping state) and that you could wake it back up, it was the biggest relief I've felt in years."

Sheri describes the massive amount of patients she sees that have been deeply impacted by "Covid Brain" and talks through what is happening with that virus and our brains.

What Is Happening to Our Brains? (The Edge)

Fri, 14 Apr 2023 05:00:00 +0000

With all of the convo coming to the table about our culture's rise in mental health issues, Kelly and Chip bring forth their own questions about the toll social media can take on our brains and mental and emotional well being. Kelly discusses an article she read about influencer culture and relates it to her own struggle with that position and the deep impact it had on her mental and emotional health. Chip brings forth the discussion about the algorithm's impact on our brains and also the constant overstimulation created in our culture. They tie in the overall impact of constantly absorbing information unconsciously, reference why gun violence has brought this to the forefront of mine and even sing a little bit to lighten the heavy mood as of late.

Simple Answers, Easy Steps and a Message of Hope (The Edge)

Wed, 29 Mar 2023 05:00:00 +0000

Kelly here, hi. I am reposting this podcast this week because I simply do not know what else to do. After a mass shooting, that ended in 7 people (including 3 children) dead, just down the road from my home in Nashville this week, I do not have the words yet to talk about this again. Many of my close friends and specifically their children were greatly impacted by this shooting and to say that this issue being in your backyard brings it to the forefront of your mind is an understatement. I will be back to discuss more of what that is like at some point in the future, but in the meantime, I’m begging you all-no matter where you stand politically- put it to the side. This is bigger than your ego or own personal feelings. This is our children’s lives, safety and freedom. “Listen to the podcast, take the actionable steps, but also compromise and try to work together. This is a political issue, but I think we have to do what we can to lay that down and start working together. We aren’t getting anywhere with otherwise. We all do it, but if more innocent children dying isn’t the time to unite and come together, I don’t know what is.

Sending love and healing energy to everyone in Nashville right now.

------

Retired US Army Veteran, gun owner and gun violence survivor, Melody McFadden, joins Kelly and Chip to simplify the conversation about gun laws and gun violence.

"I don't want your guns, because I don't want to give you my guns."

Melody tells the stories of loss she has faced at the hands of unsafe gun use and also how simple it could be to make those moments safe.

On the date this was recorded in mid June, 3,599 people in America had been shot and killed since the mass shooting in Uvalde, TX on May 24.

"You have to get a driver's license to drive a car, why shouldn't we have safety measures about owning guns?"

Melody is full of love, faith and helpful small action steps we can all take to make our country a safe place to live.

As seen on Oprah Winfrey and Ellen Degeneres, past-life psychic, spiritual teacher and award-winning author, Ainslie MacLeod, joins Kelly to talk about soul ages, soul personalities, past lives and more. Ainslie describes his hesitant journey to accepting his psychic abilities and how he communicates with spirit guides now to give people information about their own soul's journey. Kelly asks Ainslie to explain why he believes that our own understanding of our past lives is the place where we can find the most healing for our current life experience.

"Remember, your destiny is not some intangible, distant goal that you might, if you are lucky, discover before you die. As long as it's consistent with your life plan, your destiny is what you're doing right now."

Ainslie explains soul families and those weird moments where you meet a total stranger, yet you feel like you've known them for years. He also details his beliefs about what happens to souls and where they go in between lives here on earth.

"In choosing circumstances of its birth, your soul was actually thinking, 'what circumstances do I need to help me evolve?' Your soul is nothing if not pragmatic and it's elected your family for its own personal development."

He also describes how young soul's and old soul's personalities are being played out politically right now.

Daring to Find Your True Purpose with Fashion Designer, Norma Kamali (The Velvet)

Wed, 18 Jan 2023 06:00:00 +0000

With this month's words "Dare" & "Purpose" in mind, Kelly revisits a conversation she had with iconic fashion designer, Norma Kamali. Norma Kamali is one google search away from loads of outward success stories- from Farrah Fawcett's classic red swimsuit, to the "Carrie" dress on Sex and the City- her designs have catapulted a career in fashion for over 50 years. However, in true Velvet's Edge form, those stories of her successes as well as failures launched a much deeper conversation about true life purpose, finding your soulmate and the lessons in the ups and downs of life.
"I found my soulmate at 65," Norma Kamali tells Kelly. "And I simply wasn't ready for him before that. From failed marriages to childhood happenings, I had a lot to sort out within myself."
Ms. Kamali laughs when Kelly says "I'm about to turn 40 and I had this mentality at first, like, my life is done. It's over!" and rebuddles "that's hilarious. You are just getting started."
Kamali tells her stories of being broke while having her designs run in major magazines like Vogue and is the greatest reminder of not comparing your insides with others outsides and staying the course to your own purpose.
Her story is powerful and inspiring. She is the definition of daring.

Jaime speaks about the top ways she sees clients block themselves from finding the relationships of their dreams and how our outside experiences reflect our inner reality.
"If we are disconnected from ourselves, feeling bad and living life believing we are unworthy of love, the universe will honor exactly that. Through the law of attraction, it will bring us partners who validate that we are not worthy of love, because that is what we believe about ourselves. That's the message we are sending."
Jaime puts the words of the month (dare, purpose) into practice and talks about dating apps strengths and struggles and how to use them to your benefit, as well as overcoming any fear you may feel when it comes to dating, putting yourself out there or relationships.

How To Move Forward Energetically in 2023 (the Velvet)

Wed, 04 Jan 2023 06:00:00 +0000

With so much change happening in our world the past few years, Master Astrologer, Marvin Wilkerson joins Kelly to discuss the way feminine energy will impact and rebuild our future. Marv explains that feminine energy is inside each of us, both men and women, and how the suppression of that energy built the world of the past and how the future depends on understanding and embracing that energy.
"We can't go back, so we've got to move forward in a new way."
Kelly and Marv discuss the handling of football player, Damar Hamlin's injury during Monday Night Football was the perfect example of our cultures shift into feminine over masculine energy and how the compassion and empathy that was embraced is a part of that.
Marv breaks down "Asteroid Goddesses" that are both mythological and astrological and how that energy applies to each of our astrology charts, reminding listeners that an astrology chart is the map of your life. Marv explains that our sun signs, which is the typical pop culture reference to astrology, are actually just a tiny portion of how astrology works in our lives. He gives Kelly a breakdown of her goddess energy and she is shocked by how spot on the description is to her, especially relationally.
They also discuss ways to use your sexual energy in creativity in your life.

Kelly's Favorite Conversations: Ways To Find Peace Through Pain with Singer/Songwriter Blessing Offor (The Edge)

Fri, 30 Dec 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Many of you may know singer/songwriter, Blessing Offor, as the outstanding vocalist who sang so strongly he had all four judges turn their chairs around. Although his talent is something only dreams are made of, it's his sroty of hardship and then his positive outlook on life that makes him the magnetic human that he is. Blessing was born without vision in his left eye and lost vision in his right eye in an accident as a young boy. To most, this would be a tragedy hard to recover from, for Blessing it was his call to channel that hardship into purpose.
"If you told me I had the chance to do that moment (losing vision in his right eye) all over again, I would say, where do I stand? I would do it exactly as it happened, because that moment is the moment that shaped me into who I am today."
Blessing talks about the one question he asks himself when he is having a hard time or bad day/moment:
"We put so much energy into what's wrong, like the traffic, and what I know is that it's never really about the traffic. There is always something deeper that's actually going on."
His favorite quote:
"Grief carves a canyon, so that joy can overflow it."
And the best tidbit his therapist ever pointed out to him about the human condition: "Sitting with yourself is a truly POWERFUL thing."
Blessing also tells Chip and Kelly about his musical inspirations, new music coming up and where listeners can go on the journey with him.

Kelly’s dad, Rex, comes on the podcast to talk about his journey from alcoholism to sobriety.

Period. I couldn’t imagine my life without drinking.”
He also talks about finding his greatest life in his sobriety and the greatest gift being the relationships he is able to have because of it.
And the moment he relates to finding freedom with a therapist: “I had to go all around the world, just to get across the street….but then the therapist said to me, ‘yeah, but you got across the street.’”

Sober Curious Update (The Edge)

Fri, 18 Nov 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Sober Curious Update
Description: Kelly gives updates on where she stands with alcohol and her sober curious journey. She answers email questions about whether or not she is drinking at all, what today looks like and what cutting out alcohol completely for 10 months taught her.
“Being sober curious means, literally, to choose to question, or get curious about, every impulse, invitation, and expectation to drink, versus mindlessly going along with the dominant drinking culture.” -Ruby Warrington
“It was an interesting realization to see how disconnected from self I had become and the level of self respect that came from starting to choose myself and respecting my body. Ultimately, in many ways removing alcohol has really aided in my relationship with self.”
The duo discussed mindless drinking and how alcohol is treated as a solution to everything in our culture. Kelly addressed why being sober curious doesn’t mean you have a problem with alcohol.
“It’s actually so empowering. When someone says ‘do you want to drink?’ You actually pause and ask yourself- ‘do I want a drink right now?’ I just don’t think it hurts to ask the questions.”
They also address the massive physical benefits Kelly discovered, including a drastic change in her anxiety levels.
“You start to crave different things- a 20 minute walk, a quiet 10 minutes where you breathe deeply and connect to your body, 2 minutes of dancing around the room. You brain adjusts to new ways to get the hit of dopamine and they actually last longer and have no negative hangover effects.”
Chip talks about his own journey of cutting back on alcohol.

What is the Shadow Self? (The Velvet)

Wed, 12 Oct 2022 05:00:00 +0000

It’s spooky season, which makes it the best time to look at the shadow selves within each of us. Master Astrologer, Marvin Wilkerson, joins Kelly to educate listeners on the deep repressed parts of ourselves called the shadow. Marv answers questions like: What is the shadow? How do we know something is a part of our shadow? How do we work with those parts of ourselves and use them to grow and evolve?

“The essence of bravery is being without self-deception. However, it’s not so easy to take a straight look at what we do. Seeing ourselves clearly is initially uncomfortable and embarrassing.” -Pema Chodron

Marv describes how the shadow will present itself in our lives and how we are co-creators in all that we go through as humans. It’s all here to teach us something and enlighten us.

“You learn best from pain and you don’t forget pain.” - Marv

“In this life, no one person is better than anyone else. We all have a shadow. In fact, the only way we recognize things in other people is because they are within us.”

Life Be Lifin' and Other Ways To Find Peace Through Pain (The Edge)

Fri, 23 Sep 2022 05:00:00 +0000

Many of you may know singer/songwriter, Blessing Offor, as the outstanding vocalist who sang so strongly he had all four judges turn their chairs around. Although his talent is something only dreams are made of, it's his sroty of hardship and then his positive outlook on life that makes him the magnetic human that he is. Blessing was born without vision in his left eye and lost vision in his right eye in an accident as a young boy. To most, this would be a tragedy hard to recover from, for Blessing it was his call to channel that hardship into purpose.
"If you told me I had the chance to do that moment (losing vision in his right eye) all over again, I would say, where do I stand? I would do it exactly as it happened, because that moment is the moment that shaped me into who I am today."
Blessing talks about the one question he asks himself when he is having a hard time or bad day/moment:
"We put so much energy into what's wrong, like the traffic, and what I know is that it's never really about the traffic. There is always something deeper that's actually going on."
His favorite quote:
"Grief carves a canyon, so that joy can overflow it."
And the best tidbit his therapist ever pointed out to him about the human condition: "Sitting with yourself is a truly POWERFUL thing."
Blessing also tells Chip and Kelly about his musical inspirations, new music coming up and where listeners can go on the journey with him.

A Man's Perspective: It's Not Therapy, It's Training (The Velvet)

Thu, 28 Jul 2022 00:00:00 +0000

How many times do you hear women voice frustration about "toxic masculinity" or "all men are assholes" and "men suck?" Kelly welcomes Connor Beaton, author, speaker and founder of Man Talks, to discuss a different perspective to all of these narratives and how he has created a world where men can actually heal old wounds and show up to be the men they either want to be or pretend they are.

Kelly's Favorite Conversations: Finding Your Aura Color with Mystic Michaela

Wed, 18 Aug 2021 22:07:18 +0000

Hi guys, Kelly here. I have randomly had multiple messages regarding this podcast lately and I can't help but feel it is the universe speaking to you guys and me about something really important right now. I think we can all agree that times are tough right now and extra heavy and I personally believe we are all being challenged in a way that is asking us to level up. To me, "leveling up" means evolve and grow and learn and keep learning. I also believe this involves getting to know ourselves and understanding the things that make us tick. I love therapy for this reason, but I also am beginning to understand the bigger picture of what else is happening around us. It's more than a mind thing, it's a soul thing. In this conversation I had with Mystic Michaela, she uses her psychic abilities to read my aura and explain what the different aura colors mean for everyone. If you have never heard of this, don't zone out just yet. These descriptions can be a major contributor to understanding your personality, who you should be in relationship with and even your life's purpose. Let's level up together my friends.
