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.

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.
