 Kelly and Chip talk to New York Times Bestselling Author of The Happiness Project, Gretchen Rubin, about the internal deep dive of discovering whether or not your are truly living your happiest life. 

 "Research is actually 'me-search' for me. I wrote the Happiness Project because I was looking at my happy life and just wondering if there was more and could I be happier." 

Rubin points out how often we are going through our busy lives without pondering if the things we are doing are actually providing us with happiness. The author tells listeners the biggest blocks to happiness in our day to day routines, as well as describing the simple steps people can take daily to make their lives truly happier. This podcast is full of laughs and insights into the daily struggles of all human beings, while also putting listeners on a tangible track to build their best lives.

Kelly welcomes an old friend & holistic chef, Laura Lea Bryant to the podcast to talk about her new book and business. Laura Lea is a well known holistic chef with two previous cookbooks and former website LLBalanced. After going through a divorce and multiple rough breakups after the divorce, Laura Lea channelled her love for holistic food into a new approach to holistic healing overall.

Laura Lea's new book 'Recipes for an Aching Heart' and subsequent coaching program, help clients navigate their grief in a deeper way that offers true healing from the root and also celebrates the food and nourishment our body needs to get through that process.

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. If you have listened to the podcast this year, you know my word of the year was 'DARE,' so it only felt appropriate to face something I feel scared of. 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. Take what you like and leave the rest!

 Kelly welcomes Master Coach and Human Behavior Specialist, Emma Dunwoody, to give listeners the foundations of Human Design. Emma describes why reconnecting with her life purpose through modalities like Human Design healed her chronic depression, panic disorder and enabled her to thrive in ways she could have never even imagined. The women discuss the difference between Human Design and other personality tests, talk compatibility via HD and Emma breaks down the first pieces of each chart to help listeners understand how Human Design just may be the guide they need to find their life's purpose. 
"When you can understand your human design chart, you understand your truth. Oftentimes when we're trying to change our lives, we're doing it the way we think we should do it. Whereas with human design, it's literally our energetic blueprint, and it flips the transformation process... You take a look at your energetic blueprint, and through that process, you can shed your conditioning and then create a mindset that supports the blueprint"
