Velvet's Edge with Kelly Henderson
iHeart Podcast Network
Kelly Henderson began her career in the Nashville country music scene over 15 years ago, orchestrating her impressive ascent from the ground up. Working closely grooming and styling for country music heavy-hitters Dierks Bentley, Jason Aldean, Riley Green and Jordan Davis, as well as media giants CMT, Billboard and more, Henderson has established herself as a go-to resource within the industry. Henderson began offering an intimate insight into her work via her highly successful lifestyle blog, “Velvet’s Edge,” which began as a place her audience could find tips on fashion, travel, fitness, health and more. As Henderson evolved, so her content has expanded. “People aren’t one dimensional, even though sometimes we try to live that way,” she says. With an ever-growing demand from her invested online followers, Henderson has now launched an extension of her blog in the form of a podcast of the same name via iHeartMedia. She uses her expertise and speaks from a decade long journey in 12-step recovery, intensive experiential therapy and other holistic modalities combined with her successful career as a tastemaker, artist and stylist to explore the deeper inner working of humans, celebrities and healers alike. The Velvet’s Edge Podcast normalizes hard conversations, “taboo” topics and people’s ever evolving journeys, while promoting healing, inner peace and the road to a happy and fulfilling life experience. The podcast is built on Henderson’s motto, “Everyone has a little Velvet and a little Edge, I’m just here to help people feel comfortable with that and hopefully get on the path to living their best life.”
New episodes are released every Wednesday and Friday, with Henderson leading the charge on Wednesday's on 'the Velvet' side of things- interviewing experts, celebrities and spiritual leaders in line with each monthly topic. She is joined on Friday's for 'the Edge' by co-host and friend, Chip Dorsch, to explore the lighter side of the things, laugh and connect with listeners!

Velvet Edging (The Velvet)
4/24/2024
Jackson Hightower is the founder of Natural Jackson, a company whose mission is physical, mental, sexual self mastery. Jackson helps men reclaim their vitality, confidence, and purpose through private coaching, online courses, and herbal supplements. He also provides the tools and guidance men need to optimize their health, performance, and pleasure.
Jackson joins Kelly to discuss the lack of sexual education in our current society and how that is causing problems and lack of fulfillment in our own personal lives and relationships. In his work, Jackson challenges men to take charge of their sexual energy and utilize the complete power of their life force energy by laying down the porn and using tools like 'edging" during sex with a partner.
However, before you zone out and think this is about restriction via sex, Jackson and Kelly also talk about the benefits of sex when it is being lived on full spectrum and the greater capacity we can all find in this lifetime when we are dialed into our sexual power.
They also discuss the massive rise of erectile dysfunction, especially in young men, why it's happening and how to fix it. Jackson also gives his number one tip for keeping it sexy, long term, in a relationship.

Are We a Society of Assholes? (The Edge)
4/5/2024
Unless you live under a rock, you have seen the headlines about Brittany and Abby Hensel, conjoined twins who are making news recently about Abby getting married. The thing most people aren't reading about is that this happened in 2021, yet somehow just making news by going viral on social media. Of course this topic is super complex and brings up A LOT of questions, but the bigger point being how the twins are being treated on social media and in the press. Kelly and Chip discuss some of the issues they see happening with our current consumption of information and mis-truths, but also bring up the lack of empathy and kindness that seems like the natural reaction nowadays to anything and everything. They also discuss their questions about the complexities of the twin's lives and give some interesting information about their lives not being written about in the tabloids.

Kelly's Favorite Conversations: Less Talk More Action with Trauma Expert, Ali Kates
3/13/2024
Trauma is a buzzword, but how do you identify if you have trauma and what do we actually do to recover from it? It’s safe to say that all humans do at this point, and if you didn’t before the pandemic, that collective trauma may have had a deeper impact on you than you realize. According to trauma specialist and coach, Ali Kates, we are now in a mental health pandemic where people are suffering, but don’t know what to do.
In both a fun-filled and more serious conversation, Ali walks Kelly through her top tips for identifying and recovering from trauma, including three simple tricks you can incorporate into your daily routine.
Ali talks about the importance of having a hobby as it relates to mental health. Women, this one's for you! She gives recommendations of ideas for hobbies as well as questions to ask yourself to figure out what kind of hobby you may like. And if you are reading this thinking, I don’t have time for a hobby, there is discussion about that as well as how common it is for women specifically to not have hobbies.
Ali brings up the feeling of feeling “behind in life” and explains why that feeling specifically is often related to a traumatic experience.
The women also discuss the truth about anger, where it’s actually coming from, why expressing it can be very difficult for some people and overly used for others.
The last part of the conversation is dedicated to deciphering “victim mode” and what that actually is and how to find gratitude and growth through pain.
