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.

Why You Feel Numb Even When You Have Everything You Wanted with Kelly Ehlers (The Velvet)

What happens when you build the life you always wanted… and still don't feel fully alive inside? Kelly Ehlers is a five-time Inc. 500 entrepreneur, founder of two multimillion-dollar companies, and author of Nice Girls Win. But after years of chasing success, checking every box, and creating a life that looked great from the outside, she found herself disconnected from her own joy. In this conversation, Kelly shares the invisible contracts so many women live by without realizing it, why people-pleasing often disguises itself as kindness, how high achievers lose touch with themselves, and what it means to choose a new season of life without burning everything down. We also discuss self-worth, deserving versus wanting, manifestation, boundaries, and why being kind may be a bigger advantage than we've been led to believe.

Can You Be Attracted to Other People and Still Be Happy in Your Relationship? (The Edge)

After this week's conversation with psychologist Dr. Glenn Hutchinson about the science and psychology of infidelity, Kelly and Chip sat down to discuss the ideas that surprised them most. From attraction and sexual fantasy to trust and betrayal, they explore some of the gray areas that often get overlooked in conversations about relationships. Should partners openly discuss who they find attractive? Is sexuality as black and white as we tend to make it? And how do you move forward in a healthy way after experiencing betrayal in a past relationship? As always, Kelly and Chip share their own perspectives, experiences, and questions while trying to make sense of the complicated—and very human—side of relationships. Watch us on YouTube!

Why Do People Cheat? The Hidden Psychology of Infidelity with Dr. Glenn Hutchinson (The Velvet)

Why do people cheat? Is infidelity really about unmet needs and unhappy relationships, or is the answer more complicated than we’ve been led to believe? This week, Kelly sits down with clinical psychologist and behavioral researcher Dr. Glenn Hutchinson, author of Unfaithful Minds, to explore the hidden psychological processes behind infidelity. Together, they unpack some of the biggest myths society tells us about cheating, why even intelligent and self-aware people can act against their own values, and what modern psychology reveals about the gap between our intentions and our actions. Kelly and Dr. Hutchinson discuss the role of the unconscious mind, the brain’s reward and novelty-seeking systems, why some people may be more vulnerable to infidelity than others, and whether understanding these patterns can actually help prevent betrayal before it happens.
