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.

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.
