Kelly's Favorite Conversations: John Edward on Chasing Evil, Intuition, and the Ethics of Psychic Work (The Velvet)

When a Chapter Feels Complete: Velvet’s Edge Takes a Pause (The End)

After years of conversations about growth, relationships, self-discovery, healing, and figuring out what the hell we’re actually doing here, Kelly and Chip are taking some of their own advice. In this episode, they look back at the moments that made them laugh, the conversations that changed them, and what they’ve learned from doing Velvet’s Edge together. They also talk about why knowing when a season feels complete can be just as important as knowing when to keep going. With new opportunities, changing priorities, and a realization that constantly trying to balance everything can leave very little room to actually take care of yourself, Kelly and Chip are listening to what life is asking of them right now and putting the podcast on hiatus. It’s less about an ending and more about making space for whatever comes next. Because sometimes growth looks like pushing forward—and sometimes it looks like trusting yourself enough to let a chapter be complete.   Watch us on YouTube!

Are We Confusing Accountability With Humiliation? (The Velvet)

After a viral post from trauma-informed somatic therapist Jordan Dann sparked intense reactions online, this conversation takes a deeper look at something bigger than a reality TV reunion. Kelly and Jordan unpack the difference between accountability and public shaming—and why the line between the two has become so blurred. What starts as a discussion about Love Is Blind quickly opens into a much larger conversation about how we process mistakes, conflict, and other people’s humanity in a world that increasingly rewards quick reactions over thoughtful reflection. They explore why public punishment can feel satisfying to watch—but doesn’t actually lead to real growth. The conversation also dives into how shame actually impacts the nervous system, and whether we’ve started to confuse humiliation with justice. Along the way, they touch on Jordan’s writing about the collapse of critical thinking online—and what it means when we stop engaging with nuance altogether. Kelly brings her own personal experiences into the discussion, offering an honest perspective on what it feels like to be misunderstood publicly—and why shame doesn’t lead to change, it leads to defensiveness.

Kelly's Favorite Conversations: Psychics, Gut Feelings, and the FBI (The Edge)

Kelly and Chip unpack Kelly’s recent convo with psychic medium John Edward and his new book Chasing Evil, where he helps the FBI solve real crimes. They share their own experiences with psychics, those uncanny intuitive gut hits, and dive into a bigger conversation about karma and soul lessons—what they actually believe, what they’re questioning, and how it all ties back to the idea that there might be more going on than meets the eye.

Kelly's Favorite Conversations: John Edward on Chasing Evil, Intuition, and the Ethics of Psychic Work (The Velvet)

Kelly sits down with world-renowned psychic medium John Edward to talk about his new book, Chasing Evil—a gripping look at where psychic ability meets criminal investigation. Before diving into the story, Kelly and John explore the foundations of psychic work—how intuitive gifts show up for all of us, why the topic sparks such strong reactions, and what it means to practice with ethics and responsibility. They also discuss John’s surprising collaboration with the FBI, the transformation of skeptics into believers, and the moments that proved intuition can reveal what logic can’t. The conversation closes with reflections on spirituality, hardship, and letting go—why “letting go” doesn’t mean failure and how we can find meaning in life’s darker chapters.

Kelly's Favorite Conversations: When the Female Orgasm Leaves Him Speechless (The Edge)

Kelly and Chip talk to intimacy expert, Susan Bratton, on all things intimacy and sex. Kelly inquires about why sex is the one area of our lives that we don't put the growth work into like we do everything else. Chip discovers new questions about sexual soulmates. Susan also talks about her own journey from being unsatisfied sexually in her marriage and finally speaking up to her husband and choosing intimacy over divorce. She gives tips on taking the sexual growth step solo or with your partner to keep evolving sexually. The purpose of this conversation is to normalize a topic that has become so "taboo" to discuss yet is a fixture in every person's day to day life. Susan teaches that there is beauty in learning together, even if it is a bit uncomfortable first.
