Velvets Edge

Kelly talks to life coach, hypnotherapist and programming director of Sage and Sound in NYC, Ryan Haddon about finding gratitude, why relationships are here to heal us and how overcoming addiction was the “window of grace” she needed. Ryan tells her story of coming back from years of alcohol abuse, codependent and love addiction in relationships and a very public divorce why those things were actually the things that saved her life. Ryan and Kelly discuss the mirrors that all relationships bring and how our subconscious mind controls 95% of our thoughts. Ryan gives tools on how to connect with that subconscious mindset and reframe old programming to make different choices in life and relationships.Socials: @ryan.haddonWebsite- ryanhaddon.com Have a question or comment?

Jackson Hightower is the founder of Natural Jackson, a company whose mission is physical, mental, sexual self mastery. Jackson helps men reclaim their vitality, confidence, and purpose through private coaching, online courses, and herbal supplements. He also provides the tools and guidance men need to optimize their health, performance, and pleasure.   Jackson joins Kelly to discuss the lack of sexual education in our current society and how that is causing problems and lack of fulfillment  in our own personal lives and relationships. In his work, Jackson challenges men to take charge of their sexual energy and utilize the complete power of their life force energy by laying down the porn and using tools like 'edging" during sex with a partner. However, before you zone out and think this is about restriction via sex, Jackson and Kelly also talk about the benefits of sex when it is being lived on full spectrum and the greater capacity we can all find in this lifetime when we are dialed into our sexual power.

Unless you live under a rock, you have seen the headlines about Brittany and Abby Hensel, conjoined twins who are making news recently about Abby getting married. The thing most people aren't reading about is that this happened in 2021, yet somehow just making news by going viral on social media. Of course this topic is super complex and brings up A LOT of questions, but the bigger point being how the twins are being treated on social media and in the press.  Kelly and Chip discuss some of the issues they see happening with our current consumption of information and mis-truths, but also bring up the lack of empathy and kindness that seems like the natural reaction nowadays to anything and everything. They also discuss their questions about the complexities of the twin's lives and give some interesting information about their lives not being written about in the tabloids.  Leave us a voicemail: https://www.speakpipe.com/VelvetsEdgeVoicemail Email: theedge@velvetsedge.com Socials: @velvetsedge@chipdorsch See om
