Velvet's Edge with Kelly Henderson (iHeartPodcasts)

Kelly talks to Executive Director of ACM Lifting Lives, Lyndsay Cruz, about how the country music community is opening up the mental health conversation post COVID shut down. With the recent suicide of Naomi Judd, one thing rings true, no matter who you are, how much money you have or how big your success, unaddressed mental health can make you sick or worse- end in death. Lyndsay talks about how even many people in the music industry struggled to feed their families and how ACM Lifting Lives is helping the community and fans alike. 

"We are all gonna feel pain and it's ok. We have to get comfortable with pain as a part of the human experience. It's about navigating what to do and where to go when the pain gets unbearable." 

Also, how to address mental health issues before it gets to the unbearable point.
Artists like John Osbourne of Brother's Osbourne have joined lifting lives to tell their own mental health stories.

Kelly also brings up the difference between generations on response time via text and it's actually the opposite of what you may assume.

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.

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.

Ever notice how quick we are to label things as "good" or "bad"? In this episode, we dive into the principle of maybe—the idea that life isn’t so black and white, and that our culture has created these labels that don’t necessarily serve us. This repost felt especially relevant this week. As we navigate feelings of success or failure with the election, it’s a reminder that there’s a bigger picture at play, one we can’t fully see or understand. So, how can we choose to operate from peace and kindness in our present moment, letting go of rigid labels and embracing the maybe?

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!

As seen on Oprah Winfrey and Ellen Degeneres, past-life psychic, spiritual teacher and award-winning author, Ainslie MacLeod, joins Kelly to talk about soul ages, soul personalities, past lives and more. Ainslie describes his hesitant journey to accepting his psychic abilities and how he communicates with spirit guides now to give people information about their own soul's journey. Kelly asks Ainslie to explain why he believes that our own understanding of our past lives is the place where we can find the most healing for our current life experience. 

"Remember, your destiny is not some intangible, distant goal that you might, if you are lucky, discover before you die. As long as it's consistent with your life plan, your destiny is what you're doing right now." 

Ainslie explains soul families and those weird moments where you meet a total stranger, yet you feel like you've known them for years. He also details his beliefs about what happens to souls and where they go in between lives here on earth. 

"In choosing circumstances of its birth, your soul was actually thinking, 'what circumstances do I need to help me evolve?' Your soul is nothing if not pragmatic and it's elected your family for its own personal development." 

He also describes how young soul's and old soul's personalities are being played out politically right now.
