1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: What's up you guys. It is Kelly. It is Wednesday,

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: which is typically a New Velvet Edge podcast, but we're

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: going to be coming to you this week on Friday.

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: I just wanted to pop in because last week was

5
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: my first podcast back after my pause. I think I

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: was gone for I don't know two months. It was

7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: a lovely time. I'm going to tell you guys all

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: about it on Friday and just the things that I've learned.

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: I think it was a very interesting experience on many

10
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: many levels. Announcing publicly that you were going to take

11
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: a pause from work kind of shakes people up. Not

12
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: gonna lie. I got a lot of text messages of

13
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: like wait are you okay? And honestly, it was probably

14
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: the best and bravest thing I've ever done in my life.

15
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: So um, it's interesting to see people's reactions when we

16
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: do something different and uncomfortable, and it was super uncomfortable

17
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: for me, but much much needed and it served me well.

18
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: So um. I did get a lot of messages from

19
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: you guys while I was gone, and I just wanted

20
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: to say, also, thank you so much for that. That

21
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 1: meant more to me than you know. It is always

22
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: obvious slee A really nice thing to know that you're missed,

23
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: but especially in a time when you're just going through

24
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: all the motions so fast and maybe not taking the

25
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: time to even realize what you're doing or if there

26
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: is any impact that you're making. It feels really nice

27
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: to get the feedback that you are in fact helping

28
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: people and making a difference in some people's lives and

29
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: missed while you're gone. It was very very warming to

30
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: my heart and it really didn't mean so much to me,

31
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: So thank you guys for that. On Friday, I have

32
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: Melody Godfred back. She was the she's the owner of

33
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: Fred and Far, the pinky ring company that I always

34
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: talked about that she's told us about on the podcast.

35
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: She also wrote the book The ABC's of Self Love.

36
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: She's kind of like a self love guru, and she's

37
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: a business owner, like I said, and she also takes pauses.

38
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: So she came on the podcast to talk to me

39
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: about what a pause looked like. She actually gave me

40
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: the word pause. I didn't even know what that meant.

41
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: You know, I've been going through the motions and running

42
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: on the hamster wheel for so many years that a

43
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: pause sounds absurd and like, can you do that? If

44
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: you work, if you own a business, if you have

45
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: a family, if you do all the things, how do

46
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: you pause? And so she really helped guide me through that.

47
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: We talked a lot during my pause, and she's always

48
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: just super encouraging of doing what you need to do

49
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: to take care of yourself, especially in business. So she's

50
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: gonna be back on the podcast Friday, and we're gonna

51
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: talk through the things that I learned while I took

52
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: a break, UM, kind of some of the things that

53
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: I'm doing daily to help me keep moving forward, and

54
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: what I've learned as an overall about myself, about our culture,

55
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: about what I want to bring to our culture, and

56
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: my own life moving forward. UM, it's just really interesting

57
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: when you actually stop the things that start coming to mind.

58
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's like I have it all figured out, either,

59
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: but I think that's kind of part of the beauty

60
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: of this process, is just being open. Why all we

61
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: learn and while we go through different experiences. UM. Also

62
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: coming up this month, I just wanted to give you

63
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: guys a little update. I will be talking to Jake

64
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: Woodard and his fiance Melissa. UM. Melissa has not been

65
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: on the podcast before, but Jake spent on a couple

66
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: of times talking about masculine and feminine energy. He's amazing

67
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: and he's really helped me on my healing journey. They

68
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: seem to have a really wonderful relationship dynamic, and they

69
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: call it a conscious relationship, and so I'm curious about

70
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: how that works and what that looks like when two

71
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: people show up together looking for true intimacy. What does

72
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: that actually look like. I think so many times in

73
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: our culture we don't even know how to do that.

74
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: They both work their own healing programs and processes, and

75
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: I know that can get a little messy in my

76
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: own individual life, so I wanted to know what it's

77
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: like when two people are doing that. And I know

78
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: their journey hasn't been perfect, but they do seem to

79
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: have a true intimate connection that I think we all

80
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: long for. So they're gonna be here to talk to

81
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: us about that coming up next week, and then, of

82
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: course I could not in the year without having our

83
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: lovely Chip Doors on the podcast one more time. I'm

84
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: not fully back to to recording twice a week, so

85
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: there's no Velvet and Edge episodes, but we couldn't go

86
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: out without having old Chippy on h p UM. We

87
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: need him back, so he's going to be here the

88
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: last week or I'm sorry, right before Christmas, whatever week

89
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: of December that is. Maybe it's the second to last

90
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: week of December. UM, just to close out the year

91
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: and talk about what we want to bring into Can

92
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: you believe it's the last what two years has been

93
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: such a blur? I can't even remember it year it is.

94
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: So that's what's coming up on the podcast. Thank you

95
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: guys again so much for sticking with me through this pause.
