]]> 3775 The Hollywood Medium Tyler Henry on Surviving Brain Surgery, Finding the Glimmers, and Life on the Other Side This week on Good Grief, Hollywood Medium Tyler Henry joins Amanda for a deeply personal conversation about the health scare he kept mostly out of the headlines. In the past year, Tyler underwent two brain surgeries to remove a cyst that had quietly returned since his teens - and while doctors ruled out cancer, he admits the whole thing is a mystery. He shares the premonition that something big was coming at 30, why he was back doing readings within a couple of months, and the one lingering effect that still catches him off guard. Together, we talk about the "glimmers" that keep us afloat when grief feels like sinking, the many forms loss takes, and how Amanda has felt more spiritually connected to her late husband Nick than ever before - from signs and synchronicities to learning how to ask for them specifically. This is Tyler Henry like you've never heard him: vulnerable, funny, and more certain than ever that we're never really alone.  Got a question for Amanda?

In this raw and unexpectedly funny conversation, Amanda sits down with her longtime friend to talk about losing his father, Hal, processing pain through his films (A Good Person, Clean Hands), and the moment his hard-of-hearing dad shouted "How do you spell aneurysm?" in the ICU - and the whole family broke into laughter. Zach opens up about channeling sadness into art, the advice Bobby Cannavale gave him when his career stalled ("Bro, move on. It's what we do."), and his "throw the kitchen sink at it" method for crawling out of a dark season.

]]> 3695 Divorce, Miscarriage, and Reinventing Your Life with Anna Kloots In this episode of Good Grief, we sit down with my sister Anna Kloots for one of the most honest conversations we've had. Anna is a writer and travel influencer known for her blog Travel Outside The Box and her book My Own Magic, and she's spent the last few years rebuilding her life more than once- first through a devastating divorce that sent her all the way to Paris to start over, and more recently through the heartbreak of a miscarriage. We talk about how our parents shaped the way we process emotion, why Anna's therapy session revealing her ex-husband wanted a divorce became one of the most traumatic moments of her life, and what gave her the courage to move to Paris with five suitcases and not a single person she knew. We also get into the grief no one prepares you for - miscarriage - and the well-meaning but painful comments Anna received afterward, plus what actually helped her get through it: writing, walking, and simply being acknowledged. This conversation is proof that grief doesn't just knock you down - it can force you to rebuild a life you didn't even know you wanted. Got a question for Amanda?
