In this powerful episode, Kelly sits down with Certified Financial Planner™ and Financial Trauma Specialist Shannah Game, whose new book Unraveling Your Relationship with Money reveals why money struggles are rarely just about money. They’re about identity, self-worth, emotional patterns, and the stories we’ve been carrying for decades.

Shannah opens up about the major life resets that forced her to look at money — and herself — in a completely new way. She and Kelly explore how trauma, childhood beliefs, fear, and shame quietly shape our financial lives, why so many women hit midlife and feel the urge to start over, and how hormones and menopause can impact everything from our spending to our sense of safety and stability.

They also dive into Shannah’s Heal–Plan–Build framework and the deeper emotional work required to shift money patterns that no budget can fix.

If you’re ready to understand the emotional side of money — or you’re in a season of rebuilding who you are — this conversation brings clarity, compassion, and a fresh sense of possibility.

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.
