Hi y'all- Kelly here. In the last NEW 'Velvet' episode this year, I felt like I needed to tap into one of my biggest walls/fears- solo episodes.

Not saying this is a rational fear, but sometimes we just gotta walk through it to get to the other side.In today's episode, I talked about the one way that I've learned to actually 'nurture' my soul that will probably be a bit surprising, but it's been a massive game changer for me in how I live my life and where I find my peace.

Kelly and Chip revisit a conversation with sex expert, Susan Bratton, that has them asking the question - does sex get better with age? Plenty of studies and research have suggested that sex does get better with age, and that it's a habit that only improves with experience and understanding of self. So contrary to common myth, you're unlikely to be having the best sex of your life in your 20s. That particular accolade kicks in a few years later.  -https://www.flashpack.com/us/solo/relationships/better-sex-30s-40s-empowerment/#:~:text=Plenty%20of%20studies%20and%20research,in%20a%20few%20years%20later. In this conversation, Susan is discussing the importance of sex for mental health, but ends up telling a story about having sex with her husband the night before and what that looks like in her 60’s. Susan addresses how unhappy she was previously in their sex life and what changed for her and them once she decided to voice her needs and they began exploring more. Susan also explains how that situation ultimately led her to create her current business of teaching couples about having heart connected, mind blowing sex at any age.  Resources mentioned:Moresexmoreoften.comExpandherorgasmtonight.comBetterlover.comInstagram: @susanbrattonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Find people who have what you want and learn how they got it." Kelly uses that tip to have a conversation with healing and movement teacher, Melissa Sgambelluri. Melissa's story of being on American Idol and getting out of toxic relationships-to finding her true self in a new career and love in a safe, loving, growth oriented relationship is intriguing to say the least. Kelly describes Melissa's energy as playful, warm, calm, peaceful, confident and creative and Melissa tells the story of how and why she got there. Melissa explains why so many women are facing burnout. "Sometimes the true power of the feminine is in the power of letting yourself be." Melissa talks about the messiness of healing, the power of not forcing and the beauty in owning your uniqueness. "Everyone is out there trying to have the same body type and do the same thing, but your true power is in being uniquely you. Everyone comes here with their own gift or gifts."Melissa reminds us that nobody actually has it figured out and encourages everyone to take some of the pressure off of ourselves. On most days (regardless of how it looks online) most people are just doing the best they can that day.  We say "I am not there yet........except 'yet' actually doesn't exist." It's all about today and the now. Helpful dating tip: She explains the difference between a true masculine energy and a masculine man operating from a feminine energy (think bar fights and chaos).

: Kelly welcomes writer, podcaster, and entrepreneur with a passion for storytelling, Nicole Christie. Founder & CEO of Tulla (tools) Productions, and host of the Here For Me Podcast. Nicole spent many years working in communications for Microsoft and it wasn't until she had two major health crises back to back that she realized she needed a life change. Nicole speaks to the way our body processes or doesn't process emotions and how that can manifest physically. She also speaks to the chronic stress she was under working in the corporate world while trying to manage a marriage with narcissistic abuse.  Nicole and Kelly both let the listeners into the inner workings of their similar relationships and talk about how being a part of those relationships looked in their lives.  "For me it isn't about diagnosing anyone else anymore, it's about listening to my body when it's speaking to me and not trying to turn the other way. It's about how I am behaving and feeling in each situation, not the other person." The women also talk about the recovery process from a relationship like this and often how difficult it is to actually leave.  "I kept saying to people- I just want my brain back."  The conversation is candid, but raw and real.  If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of narcissistic abuse, there are resources: https://narcissistabusesupport.com/resources/Nicole's Website: nicolechristie.comHere For Me Podcast Nicole's Instagram: @nicolejchristieSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kelly is joined by her "brain therapist," certified LENS practitioner, Sheri Rowney, to talk about neurofeedback therapy and why it works. Sheri breaks down the way the wiring in the brain works and what happens to our brains when we experience something traumatic to alter that wire.  "The interesting thing about our brains is that they are literally always just trying to keep us safe. Sometimes they just go about the wrong way of doing that and it impedes our normal function."  Kelly spoke openly about how this particular therapy has helped her dramatically in the last few months after feeling like she was "sleepwalking" through life and unable to find any motivation or drive or even normal thought processes.  "I just kept saying, I just want to feel like myself again and when you told me that 95% of my brain was in Delta (sleeping state) and that you could wake it back up, it was the biggest relief I've felt in years." Sheri describes the massive amount of patients she sees that have been deeply impacted by "Covid Brain" and talks through what is happening with that virus and our brains. Website and contact: http://harmonizedbraincenterstn.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kelly here, hi. I am reposting this podcast this week because I simply do not know what else to do. After a mass shooting, that ended in 7 people (including 3 children) dead, just down the road from my home in Nashville this week, I do not have the words yet to talk about this again. Many of my close friends and specifically their children were greatly impacted by this shooting and to say that this issue being in your backyard brings it to the forefront of your mind is an understatement. I will be back to discuss more of what that is like at some point in the future, but in the meantime, I’m begging you all-no matter where you stand politically- put it to the side. This is bigger than your ego or own personal feelings. This is our children’s lives, safety and freedom. “Listen to the podcast, take the actionable steps, but also compromise and try to work together.   This is a political issue, but I think we have to do what we can to lay that down and start working together. We aren’t getting anywhere with otherwise. We all do it, but if more innocent children dying isn’t the time to unite and come together, I don’t know what is.  Sending love and healing energy to everyone in Nashville right now.  ------ Retired US Army Veteran, gun owner and gun violence survivor, Melody McFadden, joins Kelly and Chip to simplify the conversation about gun laws and gun violence.   "I don't want your guns, because I don't want to give you my guns."   Melody tells the stories of loss she has faced at the hands of unsafe gun use and also how simple it could be to make those moments safe.   On the date this was recorded in mid June, 3,599 people in America had been shot and killed since the mass shooting in Uvalde, TX on May 24.   "You have to get a driver's license to drive a car, why shouldn't we have safety measures about owning guns?"   Melody is full of love, faith and helpful small action steps we can all take to make our country a safe place to live.   Website: everytown.org    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Many of you may know singer/songwriter, Blessing Offor, as the outstanding vocalist who sang so strongly he had all four judges turn their chairs around. Although his talent is something only dreams are made of, it's his sroty of hardship and then his positive outlook on life that makes him the magnetic human that he is. Blessing was born without vision in his left eye and lost vision in his right eye in an accident as a young boy. To most, this would be a tragedy hard to recover from, for Blessing it was his call to channel that hardship into purpose. "If you told me I had the chance to do that moment (losing vision in his right eye) all over again, I would say, where do I stand? I would do it exactly as it happened, because that moment is the moment that shaped me into who I am today." Blessing talks about the one question he asks himself when he is having a hard time or bad day/moment: "We put so much energy into what's wrong, like the traffic, and what I know is that it's never really about the traffic. There is always something deeper that's actually going on." His favorite quote:"Grief carves a canyon, so that joy can overflow it." And the best tidbit his therapist ever pointed out to him about the human condition: "Sitting with yourself is a truly POWERFUL thing." Blessing also tells Chip and Kelly about his musical inspirations, new music coming up and where listeners can go on the journey with him. website: blessingoffor.com  socials: @blessingoffor  Follow Kelly: @velvetsedge  Follow Chip: @chipdorsch Email: theedge@velvetsedge.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sober Curious UpdateDescription: Kelly gives updates on where she stands with alcohol and her sober curious journey. She answers email questions about whether or not she is drinking at all, what today looks like and what cutting out alcohol completely for 10 months taught her.“Being sober curious means, literally, to choose to question, or get curious about, every impulse, invitation, and expectation to drink, versus mindlessly going along with the dominant drinking culture.” -Ruby Warrington“It was an interesting realization to see how disconnected from self I had become and the level of self respect that came from starting to choose myself and respecting my body. Ultimately, in many ways removing alcohol has really aided in my relationship with self.”The duo discussed mindless drinking and how alcohol is treated as a solution to everything in our culture. Kelly addressed why being sober curious doesn’t mean you have a problem with alcohol.“It’s actually so empowering. When someone says ‘do you want to drink?’ You actually pause and ask yourself- ‘do I want a drink right now?’ I just don’t think it hurts to ask the questions.”They also address the massive physical benefits Kelly discovered, including a drastic change in her anxiety levels.“You start to crave different things- a 20 minute walk, a quiet 10 minutes where you breathe deeply and connect to your body, 2 minutes of dancing around the room. You brain adjusts to new ways to get the hit of dopamine and they actually last longer and have no negative hangover effects.”Chip talks about his own journey of cutting back on alcohol.   Follow Kelly: @velvetsedge  Follow Chip: @chipdorsch Email: theedge@velvetsedge.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

However, it’s not so easy to take a straight look at what we do. Seeing ourselves clearly is initially uncomfortable and embarrassing.” -Pema Chodron   Marv describes how the shadow will present itself in our lives and how we are co-creators in all that we go through as humans. It’s all here to teach us something and enlighten us.    “You learn best from pain and you don’t forget pain.” - Marv    “In this life, no one person is better than anyone else. We all have a shadow.

Many of you may know singer/songwriter, Blessing Offor, as the outstanding vocalist who sang so strongly he had all four judges turn their chairs around. Although his talent is something only dreams are made of, it's his sroty of hardship and then his positive outlook on life that makes him the magnetic human that he is. Blessing was born without vision in his left eye and lost vision in his right eye in an accident as a young boy. To most, this would be a tragedy hard to recover from, for Blessing it was his call to channel that hardship into purpose. "If you told me I had the chance to do that moment (losing vision in his right eye) all over again, I would say, where do I stand? I would do it exactly as it happened, because that moment is the moment that shaped me into who I am today." Blessing talks about the one question he asks himself when he is having a hard time or bad day/moment: "We put so much energy into what's wrong, like the traffic, and what I know is that it's never really about the traffic. There is always something deeper that's actually going on." His favorite quote:"Grief carves a canyon, so that joy can overflow it." And the best tidbit his therapist ever pointed out to him about the human condition: "Sitting with yourself is a truly POWERFUL thing." Blessing also tells Chip and Kelly about his musical inspirations, new music coming up and where listeners can go on the journey with him. website: blessingoffor.com socials: @blessingoffor    Follow Kelly: @velvetsedge  Follow Chip: @chipdorsch Email: theedge@velvetsedge.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kelly talks to Master Astrologer, Marvin Wilkerson about the path of Pluto that began in 2020. Marv explains why ALL of the things we are experiencing come to the surface in our society and personally right now are here to be healed and transformed.  "Loss isn't the end of the world." They discuss the space that losing something leaves in our lives and how the universe uses that emptiness to restructure and build something much more magnificent than we could have ever imagined. Marv explains why the only way out of the "throws of hell" is to surrender and let go. "The more we let our ego fight what is happening, the more pain we put ourselves through."  He also demonstrates the power of Pluto transformation via a timeline of Kelly's life story.  Email: marvin@astromarv.comWebsite: astromarv.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Find people who have what you want and learn how they got it." Kelly uses that tip to have a conversation with healing and movement teacher, Melissa Sgambelluri. Melissa's story of being on American Idol and getting out of toxic relationships-to finding her true self in a new career and love in a safe, loving, growth oriented relationship is intriguing to say the least. Kelly describes Melissa's energy as playful, warm, calm, peaceful, confident and creative and Melissa tells the story of how and why she got there. Melissa explains why so many women are facing burnout. "Sometimes the true power of the feminine is in the power of letting yourself be." Melissa talks about the messiness of healing, the power of not forcing and the beauty in owning your uniqueness. "Everyone is out there trying to have the same body type and do the same thing, but your true power is in being uniquely you. Everyone comes here with their own gift or gifts."Melissa reminds us that nobody actually has it figured out and encourages everyone to take some of the pressure off of ourselves. On most days (regardless of how it looks online) most people are just doing the best they can that day.  We say "I am not there yet........except 'yet' actually doesn't exist." It's all about today and the now. Helpful dating tip: She explains the difference between a true masculine energy and a masculine man operating from a feminine energy (think bar fights and chaos).

Hi guys, Kelly here. I have randomly had multiple messages regarding this podcast lately and I can't help but feel it is the universe speaking to you guys and me about something really important right now. I think we can all agree that times are tough right now and extra heavy and I personally believe we are all being challenged in a way that is asking us to level up. To me, "leveling up" means evolve and grow and learn and keep learning. I also believe this involves getting to know ourselves and understanding the things that make us tick. I love therapy for this reason, but I also am beginning to understand the bigger picture of what else is happening around us. It's more than a mind thing, it's a soul thing. In this conversation I had with Mystic Michaela, she uses her psychic abilities to read my aura and explain what the different aura colors mean for everyone. If you have never heard of this, don't zone out just yet. These descriptions can be a major contributor to understanding your personality, who you should be in relationship with and even your life's purpose. Let's level up together my friends.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
