Metamorphosis: The Truth Behind Drag  (The Edge)

In 2023, it feels like a lot of decisions are made from fear and not knowing the humans behind things. Kelly and Chip welcome Adam Biga, aka The Princess, from Rupaul’s Drag Race and queen of Nashville’s drag scene, to talk about the art and creativity of drag. Adam describes the process and time that goes into each creative drag performance and explains what drew him to drag in the first place. He talks about the difficulties of getting comfortable in your own skin and the losses that came from him leaning in to his true calling. The group discusses the new bill in Tennessee prohibiting drag and what that means and why it’s happening. This podcast is like all other VE podcast, not political, but finding the humanity and learning from a place of love.  Socials: @thedragprincess  Love Rising tickets for 3/20 in Nashville:  https://www.eventticketscenter.com/love-rising-nashville-tickets/712686/e?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI24Lnmrfj_QIVJxTUAR2JNgcEEAAYASAAEgKGXPD_BwE  Follow Velvet's Edge on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/velvetsedge/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Om Podcasten

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.
