Act Casual: Quarantine and The Return of an Ex

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!

Introducing: A Really Good Cry with Radhi Devlukia

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.    
They also discuss the massive rise of erectile dysfunction, especially in young men, why it's happening and how to fix it. Jackson also gives his number one tip for keeping it sexy, long term, in a relationship.

Velvet Edging (The Velvet)

Kelly and Chip discuss the new reality of texting being the most used format for communication in our culture in 2024. They debate on certain texting etiquette, response times, lack of response at all and how a lot of the issues still boil down to bad communication skills. 
"It's like our technology has evolved with mass communication, but our emotional intelligence has not." 
Kelly also brings up the difference between generations on response time via text and it's actually the opposite of what you may assume.

The duo talks pluses and minuses of plastic surgery, addresses the fears of everyone looking the same and the emotional and psychological components we may be missing. They also discuss Scrotox in depth....obviously.
