This week, Kelly sits down with Amina AlTai, a holistic business and career coach who is revolutionizing the way we think about work and purpose. Amina shares her inspiring journey from co-founding a successful branding agency to facing life-threatening burnout and two autoimmune diagnoses—all while grappling with a lack of boundaries and codependency in her career.

Now an executive coach for leaders at companies like Google, Deloitte, and Roku, Amina teaches others how to create authentic careers, embrace purpose, and thrive without sacrificing well-being.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

    •    How to find passion and purpose at any age.

    •    Why ethical wealth-building and well-being are essential for next-gen leaders.

    •    What the “passion tax” is—and how to break free from it.

    •    Science-backed tools for moving from burnout to a fulfilling, joyful career.

Amina’s mission is clear: to equip us with the tools to thrive in work and life during one of the largest labor shifts of our time. Tune in for an insightful and actionable conversation!

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.
