Kelly and Chip welcome Dr. Hayden Shafer, an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University Medical Center who provides care through the Program for LGBTQ Health, specializing in delivery of primary care and gender affirming treatments across the state. Dr. Shafer speaks from his medical experience working with patients dealing with gender incongruence and educates the duo on the multi- layered process that isn’t typically discussed in our culture. He gives examples and some shocking statics, using science and medicine to hopefully bring light to a community that many of us still know little about. This podcast is meant to shine light on gender incongruence, transgender people and their friends and families to better understand their battles, feelings and lifelong processes that are so often overlooked in media and politics.

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.
