Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
You immediately feel comfortable. That's the best.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
Agreed.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
Well, and it's been really great to see Tyler grow. Like, I mean, I feel like from episode one to episode, like our last episode we did last Wednesday, like you walk out of there, you're so confident now. Oh, geez. You know, well, doing a live reading in this setting was a first for you. And, you know, I had, you know, had monitored a show like this before.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
Yeah, that's true. Do you know that I was told by somebody once that if you, an energy therapist, he was like, because I say this all the time, I can put an alarm for five minutes and pass out, wake up in five minutes and I'm completely like recharged. I'm a napper. I love napping. 20 minutes, five minutes, whatever I can get.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
And he said that that just shows that you're very in tune with your internal clock. That if you're good with napping.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
What time is it?
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
Oh, really? I wake up from a nap and I'm like, oh, rejuvenation.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
Sure. So I met Nick. I'm doing a Broadway show. And we were just friends at first and then became lovers and then got married. We were living in New York. We moved to Los Angeles and we had a new little baby, Elvis. And unfortunately, my husband got COVID and then spent 95 days in the ICU here at Cedars-Sinai.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
and ended up passing away from complications from COVID and pneumonia and what it did to his lungs and his body. And so, yeah, that's that story.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
Yeah, you know, I think even I fell into this trick in the beginning. I really felt like one day I'd be on the other side of it. That one day, and for some reason I think the year is like a big marker for a lot of people. You know, you'll be so much better in a year after the year first. You know, the first Christmas, the first Thanksgiving, the first, you know, birthdays.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
And so you even mentally, subconsciously tell yourself that. Give it to me. And, you know, I'll be this will be five years in July, July 5th. And I think the thing that it's important to know is that it does never end. And the healing journey is a journey because life keeps going once you lose your person. And so that pain grows as well because you're still living your life.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
And so grief follows you. And so I think as much as you can know that and know that the healing journey continues on and you grow with it, I think is an important message because it's nothing that you get a certificate from, you know, like you did it, you survived grief. It will follow you your entire life.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
So it was just, I feel like you really, like, found your groove. And, like, now it's like old hat. Yeah. You go in there and we're like, let's do some readings.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
Oh, gosh. It's a short story, but I'll give you one. He comes to the radio a lot to me. Nick was a music man. And if you drive around town with me, if you were in my car, you would think I'm a crazy lady because I talked to him a lot in the car. One day I got in the car with Elvis and it was his Christmas concert at his preschool. Mm-hmm.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
which is a hard day for a single mom because your child is singing these Christmas songs and every family is there. And so to be there alone is tough. So I get in the car and Prince is playing on the radio. And Prince was Nick's all-time favorite artist. And Prince is on the radio a lot. It is not an uncommon artist that you would hear. But whenever I hear Prince, I always say hi to Nick.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
I'm like, oh, hi, Nick. I'm like, oh, good. You're here with us today. I said, because today's a big day. I said, all right, well, if you're really with us, I said, I want you, before the day ends, to play Going to California by Led Zeppelin. I say it out loud. I drive Elvis to school. I go to work. I pick Elvis up. We go to his concert. I survive the concert.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
We leave a little early because I just was like ready to get out of here. Yeah. And I get in the car, I turn the car on and on the radio is a Led Zeppelin song, not going to California though. And I'm driving along and I was like, you know what? Okay. I was like, that's good enough. I was like, that's close enough. We keep driving, the song ends and the DJ gets on and goes, you know what?
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
let's just play another one from Led Zeppelin. Here's going to California. And I literally, tears start coming down my eyes. I couldn't see the road because I was crying so hard. I pull over and I am like, A smiling, crying, and disbelief at the same time. Because first of all, this song is the oddest Led Zeppelin song in the entire world. It is a weird monologue song.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
It is never played on the radio. Trust me, I've heard it once since Nick's past. And the fact that I asked for it and that as we left the concert... A DJ doubled up on Led Zeppelin, which let me tell you again, DJs don't ever double up on an artist. And that happened. I was like, all right, you're with me. You're with us.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
Oh my gosh, so much. I always say death teaches us how to live and it certainly has taught me how to live and has taught me how to love. There's so many things, like I can't wait to love again because I really hope that I can instill all the things that I've learned about love and relationships in this next chapter of my life. I can't wait. What has your dating been like? It's been... What?
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
It's been fun. It's been? Yeah. No, it has not been fun. I mean, it's been up and down. You know, listen, we live in Los Angeles. It's tough. It's tough. I tried the apps. They weren't for me. Mm-hmm. I've met, I've met a lot of wonderful people. I've met some not so wonderful people. Um, I've had some wonderful times. I've had some not wonderful times.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
Um, you know, I think if I'm being like a hundred percent honest, I'm just at a point in my life where I'm looking for something really special. And I unfortunately have a lot of walls built up and, um, And it's, you know, it's kind of a game now of like feeling that safety with somebody and trusting somebody. It's hard, you know? And so it's tough. It's tough. I'm out there. I'm trying.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
Step number one. Yes. Is to try. Yes. Yeah. And every relationship I've had and every even date I've gone on has taught me something about more about myself and this chapter I'm in. So that always I take as the positive.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
Wonder Woman. Ooh. There you go. But it would be about all women. Yeah. I feel like right now. We could use some empowerment. Yeah, I do. You know, I think, listen, I love doing all these different things that I love to do. I love moderating a television show. I love hosting a red carpet. I love teaching a fitness class to 60 women and dancing our little butts out. Yeah.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
I love going to take a dance class myself. I love being a mom. I love being an entrepreneur. I love acting and producing and being in television shows and in movies. I love it all. And yet I feel like as a woman, especially right now, I feel like a little bit, we can be pigeonholed. You know, a lot of men will ask me, well, what do you want to do? And I'm like, I want to do it all.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
Because I, I love it all. I'm very passionate about everything that I do. And I don't, feel like it's fair to pigeonhole a woman as to like, well, no, you're a TV host, right? Yeah, I can host a TV show. And, and, and, and I think we all can. So the reality show would be Wonder Woman.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
Well, when I teach my fitness husband, I'm like, glutes with clutes.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
Oh, Dancing with the Stars was a dream come true. I sat in my living room and watched that with my family season after season, never thinking I would get that chance. Never thinking. So when that call came in, I was just like, I thought I won the lottery. And I really did. That show, that family there, it's so wonderful. It's so beautiful. Wow.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
My biggest takeaway, ironically, is not the dancing part. It was how much I connected with my partner, Alan Burstein, and how much he taught me how to love and be around another man again. It was well. And not romantically. Alan and I were just friends and always have been. But I had lost Nick. We were two years into losing that. I had started... trying to date, but with other widowers.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
And you can imagine how that date goes. You just end up about talking about your dead person and crying. So there's really no romance. Good connection, but no romance. And I was really at a point where even on dates, I was like, if he would try to touch me, if he would try to kiss me right now, I don't know why I'd freak out.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
So, you know, I was sitting kind of like this on dates and protecting myself. Well, then in walks Alan and in walks dance again into my life and dance. I was never afraid of connecting with somebody through dance, being touched by a man in dance. Right, it's normal. Yeah, it's normal.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
So day one, when he was like, I'm going to hold your hand, I'm going to hold you here, I'm going to grab you here, I'm going to dip, it felt completely comfortable. And then you're working towards a goal with somebody and you're texting with somebody every day. For all intents and purposes, he was like my boyfriend. I had a man again in my life.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
And when the season ended, I remember looking at him and being like, thank you so much. I'm just like, thank you so much. I think you've like taught me that I can be around a man again. And I really honestly feel like ready to try again because I feel so comfortable being around a man again and laughing with a man again and being excited to, you know, see a guy again.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
Well, it's, you know, I've been I feel very lucky to witness like what Tyler does on a weekly basis because I truly believe in the healing power of what he does and the messages he brings. And so it's really cool to like sit there each week and and see people, you know, just have these, you know.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
And he really gave me that gift. And it was such a special gift beyond dancing. And I never, ever thought that show would do that for me. I just thought it would be like how great to dance again in my life.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
Oh, my God.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side

What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
Do you want to know the cutest answer to say the alphabet backwards? My son did this. I asked him this question and he goes... A, B, C, D. That's genius. I was like, you're a genius. You're four years old and you're a genius. You should play chess.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side

My biggest thing is, and in fact, Gabby Bernstein, I don't know if you know that is, she's a New York Times bestselling author. She says this too, forgive and delete. I forgive them. I sometimes write to them and say, God bless you. I hope you have a wonderful day. These people are hurting. They're sad.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
And if they have the time and energy to get on social media and write negative things towards you, there's something wrong in their lives. And that's why I forgive and then I delete them.

With my sister. Yeah. Just because I do love to travel and I do love to see, you know, really cool, beautiful parts of this world.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side

What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
I know. Just through and through. I mean, mine is my late husband's song, Live Your Life. It changed losing him and raising my son on my own. I truly embody that. I try to at least. I fail sometimes and people remind me. Aren't you supposed to live your life? And I'm like, that's right. All right, never mind. I'm going on a vacation or whatever. But it has. Live your life in all of those ways.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
Do the things. Take the trips. Say what you need to say. Be courageous. Go for your dreams. You don't know. You know what I mean? Like you don't know what tomorrow will bring. You don't know what the next 10 minutes will bring and all of the good and all of the bad, whatever it could be. Live your life.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
That's right.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
True. I said it to myself yesterday. So, I mean, I'm preaching it, but literally yesterday I was sitting somewhere and I was like, Amanda, what do you always say?

He often times on the show gets messages from, like, the grandma person. about the husband or the wife or the older ex-boyfriend often. It's honestly one of my favorite moments. It's fun.

What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
No, it is a romantic story.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
I think that's so romantic. When you told me that story, I think that's so, like, you found each other online, and then the second he came to visit you, like, you were talking, and then he came to visit you, and you were like, you're not leaving. And he was like, I'm not leaving.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
And the doors were locked, and the shades were down, and you were like, you're mine. You're not leaving.
What's the Reality?

Locked away. But you got the ring, girl. You got the ring. And you know what he's doing. I know where he's at.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
Do you feel intuition is part of your journey? I love intuition. Me too. I've always been somebody that I feel intuition strongly. I'm a Pisces. I just feel like it comes with my side. Yeah, I don't know. Sometimes I really love my intuition with love because I think it really draws. I can have a very clear, direct intuition. Kind of like, no, this is what it is.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
And then sometimes it gets, I feel like gets me stuck because I'm like, no, I feel this. And like, why aren't you reacting the same way I want you to?
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
And that is very hard when they are not responding the way your intuition is telling you to.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then when to let that intuition go. Like, that's something that's, I think, really, really hard. Because you're like, I'm just going to let this go. I gave it a shot. I'm going to let it go. So it's tough. But I think you're right. I think you have to know yourself. I agree.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
As much as we know ourselves and can turn inward and really, like, find that self-love within ourselves. You know, that's our best weapon.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
There's an alarm that you kind of have to.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side

What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
I think I believe in soulmates, but I think we don't just have one. I think there's many, you know, maybe like 10. Yeah.
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
No, that really like immediately. Yes. And there's like always a connection. And whether or not, like you just said, whether or not it ends up being somebody forever, you're changed by that person. And it's not always romantic, right?
What's the Reality?
Tyler Henry and Amanda Kloots: The Power of Intuition and Love Advice from the Other Side
It could be.
