Kelly and Chip are back—well, sort of. After realizing Chip had literally nothing to add to Kelly’s deep dive with sex expert Kim Anami about the female orgasm, we decided to take a different approach. The sexual conversation continues... 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. Socials: @susanbrattonWebsite: susanbratton.com Watch us on YouTube!

This week Chip and Kelly take the big Virgo–Pisces energy and make it personal. From Virgo’s perfectionism and endless worry spirals to Pisces illusions and chasing dreams, they ask: are we overthinking life, or just not seeing it clearly? They swap stories of the little things they obsess about, times they projected fantasies onto people, and moments when reality finally hit. Lighthearted, relatable, and a little too honest—this episode is proof we’re all just trying to figure it out one worry (or dream) at a time. Watch us on YouTube!

Astrologer Marvin Wilkerson returns to Velvet’s Edge to break down the powerful cosmic shifts happening with the Virgo New Moon and upcoming Pisces Eclipse. We explore: What Virgo energy really means—service, humility, and the “womb of time” where transformation begins. How this New Moon calls us to digest life experiences, face self-criticism, and find spiritual clarity. Why Uranus squaring the New Moon could shake up rigid routines and spark intuitive breakthroughs. The Pisces Eclipse and how it asks us to confront illusions, prejudice, and the deeper wounds of humanity. Pluto and Mars—why suppressed conflict can’t stay hidden and how to channel it into conscious action. Marv shares how these energy patterns are pushing us to release outdated habits, balance service with self-truth, and find footing in chaotic times. Whether you’re a Virgo, Pisces, or just feeling the collective weight, this episode is a guide for navigating the next six months with clarity and purpose.
