Transcript

00:00Now it's the sit down with Amanda Kloots.

00:02Hi, Amanda.

00:03Let's dig into your new role as moderator

00:06on Live from the Other Side with Tyler Henry.

00:08This show is so unique and cathartic for so many people.

00:11I know you've spoken about receiving signs

00:12and seeing mediums since your husband,

00:14Nick Cordero, passed away.

00:16Have you always been a believer your whole life?

00:18No.

00:19No, not at all, actually.

00:23You know, it's crazy.

00:25I grew up Lutheran and very religious,

00:27and so it really wasn't until after I lost Nick

00:31and a medium reached out to me,

00:34and I was so intrigued because I was so sad

00:38about, you know, losing him,

00:41that I gave the medium a chance,

00:44and what came through in that reading,

00:46it was so incredible,

00:49and like information that nobody would have known,

00:54and it gave me so much comfort at that time

00:56that I was kind of, you know, my eyes were opened up to it.

00:59How do you balance being open to signs and messages

01:01from beyond with remembering to be present

01:03in life right here?

01:06You know, this was actually a question I asked Tyler

01:08when I was auditioning with him,

01:10and he gave the most incredible answer.

01:12He goes, Amanda, it's actually not about

01:14what more we can do.

01:15It's subtracting what we're doing,

01:18so like do less, basically.

01:21Listen to our intuition.

01:23Don't let things cloud your mind.

01:26If you see something, it's probably a sign.

01:29Like, don't talk yourself out of it.

01:31Do you know what I mean?

01:32It's like subtract the noise in your life,

01:34and those spiritual guides and that intuition

01:36will actually start coming through.

01:38It's not about what more we can do.

01:40It's about doing less.

01:43You haven't had a personal reading with him yet, right?

01:45No, not yet.

01:47I, listen, I'm completely open to it.

01:49I have received many medium readings,

01:52and I have received so much comfort and healing

01:55from all of them.

01:57I would love that opportunity,

01:59but, you know, I honestly just feel so grateful

02:02to get to know him and be by his side every day,

02:05and to be able to see him give people

02:09the gift of healing in front of me,

02:12it's very cathartic.

02:13This summer was the fourth anniversary of Nick's death.

02:16We've watched you come so far in that time,

02:18from big achievements to quieter wins

02:20of sometimes just making it through the day.

02:22If you could give advice to someone

02:24who finds themselves grieving

02:25or in an unpredictable situation,

02:27somewhere they never thought they would be,

02:29what would those words be?

02:31The thing that has helped me the most

02:33is I always think about what would Nick want me to do,

02:36and he would want me to live.

02:37He would want me to live and love and celebrate

02:40and be the most joyful, successful person

02:44that I could possibly be.

02:46I live my life for him,

02:48and I think that anyone who's grieving

02:52and has gone through loss, it's really hard,

02:55and it can make you feel like

02:57you don't wanna even do anything.

02:59You wanna just lay in bed every day and cry or be alone

03:03or, you know, shove those feelings down,

03:06and it's, I think if we try to think about,

03:10I get to live, you know,

03:12and I get to keep going,

03:15and I get to enjoy time with my son,

03:19and I get to try and I get to dream,

03:21and I think that all of our people that we have lost

03:25would want us to do that,

03:26so I think we have to honor their life in living.

03:30You gotta talk about Elvis.

03:32I cannot believe he's in kindergarten.

03:34You said the first couple of weeks were rough.

03:36How's he doing now?

03:37He's doing great.

03:39Yeah, we had a hard transition,

03:40but he's really doing good now and loves school,

03:44and the school drop-off process

03:47has become very, very easy now, so that's good.

03:50No more tears for me or him,

03:54and yeah, we're rocking and rolling.

03:56I can't believe he's in kindergarten.

03:57It's wild.
