July Energy Forecast with Marvin Wilkerson: The Power of Being Present (The Velvet)

Kelly sits down with Marvin Wilkerson for a look at the energy of the month ahead and the themes that may be showing up in all of our lives. Instead of getting caught in the pressure to do more, fix more, or figure everything out, Marv shares why this season may be inviting us back to something much simpler: presence. Together, they explore the patterns many people are experiencing right now, how to work with periods of uncertainty, and why slowing down enough to enjoy the small moments might be the most important work of all. If you've been feeling pulled in a hundred directions, this conversation offers a refreshing reminder that peace isn't always found in the next achievement—it can be found right where you are.

What No One Says About Being Child-Free (The Edge)

Society talks endlessly about having kids — but no one really talks about not having them. This week, Kelly and Chip open up about what it’s like to live a child-free life in a world that still expects everyone to follow the same script. They talk about the pressure to become parents, the guilt and judgment that comes with choosing a different path, the surprising joys of child-free life, and the emotional nuance that no one ever acknowledges. From identity and purpose to societal expectations and double standards, this is a real, honest conversation about a lifestyle that’s more common than people admit — but rarely discussed.

What Fertility Reveals About Your Whole-Body Health With Rachel Swanson (The Velvet)

What if fertility wasn’t just about reproduction — but a reflection of your entire body’s vitality? In this episode, Kelly sits down with dietitian, researcher, and author Rachel Swanson, whose upcoming book Trying!: A Science-Backed Plan to Optimize Your Fertility is redefining how women think about reproductive health. Rachel shares her groundbreaking “Fertility 2.0” framework — a whole-body approach that connects gut, oral, and vaginal health, metabolic balance, and even sleep to hormone harmony and long-term vitality. From how your partner’s microbiome might affect conception (yes, even kissing!) to the most common disruptors quietly impacting your hormones every day, this conversation offers science-backed insights and simple, empowering shifts every woman should know. Whether you’re trying to conceive or simply trying to feel your best, this episode reframes fertility as a vital sign of overall health — one that reveals how well your body, energy, and emotions are truly aligned.

The Summer of No: Why Boundaries Are One of the Kindest Things You Can Do (The Edge)

Kelly and Chip dive into the idea of a "Summer of No," why boundaries create healthier relationships, and how people-pleasing can leave you feeling burned out.
