Amanda Kloots gets candid about her grief journey on an emotional new podcast.
On Wednesday, July 29, the Emmy-nominated TV host, 44, revealed her Good Grief podcast, in which she sits down with celebrities, experts and everyday people for conversations about grief.
Good Grief “explores the many forms of loss we experience, from the death of a loved one to the end of a marriage, career, dream or even a sense of home,” according to a press release. “Amanda takes a closer look at how people navigate life’s hardest chapters and find a way to move forward, not by leaving grief behind, but by carrying it with them in a new way.”
The podcast, distributed by Dear Media, will feature guests including Harry Jowsey, Zach Braff, Anna Kloots and Kelly Rizzo.
PEOPLE has an exclusive clip from the first episode of Good Grief, shared above, featuring Jowsey. Kloots tells her close friend that grief can “teach us so many beautiful things” despite it being painful. When she asks Jowsey, 29, whose dad died in 2024, what lesson grief has taught him, he replies, “Life really begins after death.”
The reality star went on to explain that grief is “the only unpredictable emotion,” and it showed him how important human connection is in those “dark days.”

“I am so excited and incredibly grateful to Dear Media for bringing this concept to life,” Kloots says in a statement. “Good Grief is born from my own journey these last six years, how grief has reshaped me and what it’s taught me. I’m excited to explore all kinds of grief, to ask the questions and build a community where people feel safe and comforted because in sharing our stories, we help people heal. Can grief be good? I believe so.”

Kloots’ husband Nick Cordero died in July 2020, at the age of 41 from COVID-related complications.
At the time of Cordero’s death, Kloots announced the news in an Instagram post, writing, “I am in disbelief and hurting everywhere. My heart is broken as I cannot imagine our lives without him.”
“Nick was such a bright light. He was everyone’s friend, loved to listen, help and especially talk. He was an incredible actor and musician. He loved his family and loved being a father and husband. Elvis and I will miss him in everything we do, every day.”
On July 5, the sixth anniversary of Cordero’s death, Kloots shared a heartfelt tribute to her late husband, along with a video montage of memories they shared, on Instagram.
“Today marks six years since Nick passed away,” Kloots wrote in her caption. “If you knew him, you were lucky. If you didn’t and you’ve been following me, hopefully you have an idea of what a magnificent human being he was. Everyone loved him. He loved everyone.”
“He truly lived life to the fullest,” she wrote, before adding that he taught her “to slow down,” “listen to music,” “be curious” and to “believe in myself.”
“I know it might seem weird to say, but even though he is gone from this earth, I almost feel more connected to him spiritually now,” she continued. “I feel closer to him now, six years after his death. He sends me signs almost daily. I ask him for them, he responds and I talk right back! Nick was always up in your business if you were his good friend or family, so it does make sense that he’s still up in mine.”
Episodes of Good Grief will drop weekly and are available anywhere you listen to podcasts.
