Kelly Henderson began her career in the Nashville country music scene over 15 years ago, orchestrating her impressive ascent from the ground up. Working closely grooming and styling for country music heavy-hitters Dierks Bentley, Jason Aldean, Riley Green and Jordan Davis, as well as media giants CMT, Billboard and more, Henderson has established herself as a go-to resource within the industry.  Henderson began offering an intimate insight into her work via her highly successful lifestyle blog, “Velvet’s Edge,” which began as a place her audience could find tips on fashion, travel, fitness, health and more.  As Henderson evolved, so her content has expanded. “People aren’t one dimensional, even though sometimes we try to live that way,” she says. With an ever-growing demand from her invested online followers, Henderson has now launched an extension of her blog in the form of a podcast of the same name via iHeartMedia. She uses her expertise and speaks from a decade long journey in 12-step recovery, intensive experiential therapy and other holistic modalities combined with her successful career as a tastemaker, artist and stylist to explore the deeper inner working of humans, celebrities and healers alike. The Velvet’s Edge Podcast normalizes hard conversations, “taboo” topics and people’s ever evolving journeys, while promoting healing, inner peace and the road to a happy and fulfilling life experience. The podcast is built on Henderson’s motto, “Everyone has a little Velvet and a little Edge, I’m just here to help people feel comfortable with that and hopefully get on the path to living their best life.” 

New episodes are released every Wednesday and Friday, with Henderson leading the charge on Wednesday's on 'the Velvet' side of things- interviewing experts, celebrities and spiritual leaders in line with each monthly topic. She is joined on Friday's for 'the Edge' by co-host and friend, Chip Dorsch, to explore the lighter side of the things, laugh and connect with listeners!

May Astrology: Taurus Season, Personal Growth & the Power of Slowing Down (The Velvet)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/55a93654-f055-4db1-b0bc-b2d600478124/transcript

We’ve all felt that fire—the urge to get even, to make someone feel the pain they caused us. But at what point does that fire start burning us? This week, Kelly sits down with Yale Psychiatry lecturer, lawyer, and author James Kimmel, Jr. to explore the gripping science behind revenge—and why it behaves more like an addiction than a rational choice.

In his new book The Science of Revenge, James reveals how holding a grudge activates the same neural pathways as drug cravings and how many of us get stuck in revenge loops without even realizing it. Together, they unpack why revenge is so seductive, what it’s doing to our health and society, and the surprisingly powerful antidotes backed by neuroscience.

In this episode:
Why revenge feels so good… until it doesn’t
How ruminating on a grievance wires the brain for addiction
The real difference between forgiveness and letting someone off the hook
How mindfulness, gratitude, and self-compassion help break the cycle
What James believes could be the next major public health shift

This one goes deep—and it just might change how you think about justice, healing, and freedom.

Revenge Is a Hell of a Drug: Why We Crave It—And How to Break Free (The Velvet)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/85d55c8d-0539-4ffb-b7b6-b30000c291cb/transcript

In this follow-up to Kelly’s conversation with Human Design expert Emma Dunwoody, Chip comes in hot with all the beginner questions — because he’s never heard of Human Design (and has a lot of thoughts). From understanding what it actually is to figuring out if it’s helpful or just another “life hack,” Kelly and Chip unpack their personal takes on self-discovery, purpose, and whether society has put too much pressure on us all to find “the one thing” we’re here to do.

They also dive into why Kelly loves exploring tools like Human Design in the first place — breaking down her curiosity around life’s bigger questions and how different modalities can support spiritual growth. The conversation gets real about religion, personal belief systems, and how these practices can add depth (not conflict) to your existing faith or inner journey.
