Velvet's Edge with Kelly Henderson

Kelly and Chip kick off the new year by sharing their "words of the year"—intentional themes they set to guide their growth and focus for the months ahead. In this episode, they also reflect on the heartbreaking fires in LA, discussing the emotional toll of ongoing natural disasters and how to navigate collective trauma through a spiritual lens. Plus, Kelly shares a fascinating story about a palm reader she met in Bali who predicted the natural disasters we’re now experiencing—and what she believes they mean for us moving forward.

Kelly recently discovered that she and Chip share a lot of the same energy in their astrological chart, so the duo welcomes Master Astrologer, Marvin Wilkerson, to help them compare notes on how that energy manifests in each of their lives. Marv explains why pop culture’s version of astrology based on just your sun sign is an inaccurate representation of who you actually are. The topic of astrology and why we are all here leads to a spiritual discussion and a lot of laughs as well.    Email Marvin at marvin@astromarv.com [marvin@astromarv.com] Visit Marvin's Website at astromarv.com [http://astromarv.com/]   HOSTS: Kelly Henderson // @velvetsedge [https://www.instagram.com/velvetsedge/] // velvetsedge.com Chip Dorsch // @chipdorsch [https://www.instagram.com/chipdorsch/] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
