Velvet's Edge with Kelly Henderson

Simple Answers, Easy Steps and a Message of Hope (The Edge)

Retired US Army Veteran, gun owner and gun violence survivor, Melody McFadden, joins Kelly and Chip to simplify the conversation about gun laws and gun violence.  "I don't want your guns, because I don't want to give you my guns."  Melody tells the stories of loss she has faced at the hands of unsafe gun use and also how simple it could be to make those moments safe.  On the date this was recorded in mid June, 3,599 people in America had been shot and killed since the mass shooting in Uvalde, TX on May 24. "You have to get a driver's license to drive a car, why shouldn't we have safety measures about owning guns?"  Melody is full of love, faith and helpful small action steps we can all take to make our country a safe place to live.  Website: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://everytown.org&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1656786823265000&amp;usg=AOvVaw18XGblodvGuSYshFSD6BpU" href="http://everytown.org/">everytown.org</a>  Text BOLD to 644-33See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

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!
