Kelly's Favorite Conversations: Abandon: Breakup to Breakout with Holistic Coach & Chef Laura Lea Bryant (The Velvet)

Kelly welcomes an old friend & holistic chef, Laura Lea Bryant to the podcast to talk about her new book and business. Laura Lea is a well known holistic chef with two previous cookbooks and former website LLBalanced. After going through a divorce and multiple rough breakups after the divorce, Laura Lea channelled her love for holistic food into a new approach to holistic healing overall. She talks to Kelly about the moment she realized she wasn't living an authentic life and how she knew she needed to take her knowledge from holistic eating and apply it to healing her broken heart. Laura Lea's new book 'Recipes for an Aching Heart' and subsequent coaching program, help clients navigate their grief in a deeper way that offers true healing from the root and also celebrates the food and nourishment our body needs to get through that process. "I really just realized that I knew who I was in business and as a chef, but when it came to relationships, I had absolutely no idea who I was or what I wanted."  Website: llbalanced.com Socials: @lauraleabalanced New Book: Recipes for an Aching Heart Follow Velvet's Edge on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/velvetsedge/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Velvet's Edge Podcast is an invitation to explore the beautiful, messy truth that real growth is an inside job. Hosted by Kelly Henderson—a celebrity stylist and men's groomer who has learned firsthand that "looking good" on the outside only gets you so far—this podcast is a space for the conversations you don't always hear out loud. Life has a way of knocking us flat, and Kelly believes there is purpose in that pain. She uses her own journey of plot twists to show that true beauty is found by going inward. On some days, you'll hear deep dives with therapists, healers, and other people who have turned their pain into something beautiful. On other days, Kelly and Chip Dorsch laugh their way through the weird, messy "WTF is this life?" moments, because growth is easier when you and your bestie can laugh through it together. This podcast is for you if you've ever felt empty despite doing everything you were "supposed to" do. It's for you if you're stuck in a toxic relationship cycle and don't know how to get out. It's for you if you're in the middle of a total life plot twist and have no idea where to start. You aren't broken beyond repair. You are simply a human on a soul's journey, and even though we each have our own path, it's a lot easier when we have a little help from our friends.
