With this month's words "Dare" & "Purpose" in mind, Kelly revisits a conversation she had with iconic fashion designer, Norma Kamali. Norma Kamali is one google search away from loads of outward success stories- from Farrah Fawcett's classic red swimsuit, to the "Carrie" dress on Sex and the City- her designs have catapulted a career in fashion for over 50 years. However, in true Velvet's Edge form, those stories of her successes as well as failures launched a much deeper conversation about true life purpose, finding your soulmate and the lessons in the ups and downs of life."I found my soulmate at 65," Norma Kamali tells Kelly. "And I simply wasn't ready for him before that. From failed marriages to childhood happenings, I had a lot to sort out within myself." Ms. Kamali laughs when Kelly says "I'm about to turn 40 and I had this mentality at first, like, my life is done. It's over!" and rebuddles "that's hilarious. You are just getting started." Kamali tells her stories of being broke while having her designs run in major magazines like Vogue and is the greatest reminder of not comparing your insides with others outsides and staying the course to your own purpose. Her story is powerful and inspiring. She is the definition of daring. Shop: normakamali.com Socials: @normakamali Follow Velvet's Edge on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/velvetsedge/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kelly talks to LCSW, Yahoo's #1 relationship expert and author of MANifesting Love: A Step by Step Guide to Attracting the Love That is Meant For You, Jaime Bronstein, about the simple ways to attract the love you want. Jaime speaks about the top ways she sees clients block themselves from finding the relationships of their dreams and how our outside experiences reflect our inner reality. "If we are disconnected from ourselves, feeling bad and living life believing we are unworthy of love, the universe will honor exactly that. Through the law of attraction, it will bring us partners who validate that we are not worthy of love, because that is what we believe about ourselves. That's the message we are sending." Jaime puts the words of the month (dare, purpose) into practice and talks about dating apps strengths and struggles and how to use them to your benefit, as well as overcoming any fear you may feel when it comes to dating, putting yourself out there or relationships.  Pre-order Jaime's Book before the release date, February 7, and get a free admission to her webinar on January 17!

With so much change happening in our world the past few years, Master Astrologer, Marvin Wilkerson joins Kelly to discuss the way feminine energy will impact and rebuild our future. Marv explains that feminine energy is inside each of us, both men and women, and how the suppression of that energy built the world of the past and how the future depends on understanding and embracing that energy. "We can't go back, so we've got to move forward in a new way." Kelly and Marv discuss the handling of football player, Damar Hamlin's injury during Monday Night Football was the perfect example of our cultures shift into feminine over masculine energy and how the compassion and empathy that was embraced is a part of that. Marv breaks down "Asteroid Goddesses" that are both mythological and astrological and how that energy applies to each of our astrology charts, reminding listeners that an astrology chart is the map of your life. Marv explains that our sun signs, which is the typical pop culture reference to astrology, are actually just a tiny portion of how astrology works in our lives. He gives Kelly a breakdown of her goddess energy and she is shocked by how spot on the description is to her, especially relationally. They also discuss ways to use your sexual energy in creativity in your life.  Email: marvin@astromarv.com Website: astromarv.comFollow Velvet's Edge on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/velvetsedge/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
