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.

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. Together, they explore why dating can feel unexpectedly difficult for high-achieving women and what may actually be happening beneath the surface.

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.

Feminine Energy, Dating Patterns & Why Success Can Complicate Attraction (The Velvet)

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.

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

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/74e8683a-63f8-4728-bfa1-b3f700cad1be/transcript

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. A practical, eye-opening discussion on emotional regulation, communication, and healthier relationships at work and in life.
