Kelly’s dad, Rex, comes on the podcast to talk to about his journey from alcoholism to sobriety. He talks about what his relationship with alcohol looked like including years without drinking at all, the self sabotage that was a part of his disease and the relationships that he was on the brink of losing. 
“Alcohol was the most important thing to me. Period. I couldn’t imagine my life without drinking.” 
He also talks about finding his greatest life in his sobriety and the greatest gift being the relationships he is able to have because of it. 
And the moment he relates to finding freedom with a therapist: “I had to go all around the world, just to get across the street….but then the therapist said to me, ‘yeah, but you got across the street.’”

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.
