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!Sound Frequency I mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhM9BBRaYlA email: [email protected] Instagram: @velvetsedge Follow Velvet's Edge on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/velvetsedge/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

"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).
