About the show

How can our hardest chapters teach us how to live? Good Grief, hosted by Emmy-nominated television host, fitness entrepreneur, bestselling author, and widow, Amanda Kloots, is a heartfelt exploration into what happens after life changes forever. Through conversations with celebrities, experts, and everyday people, Amanda takes a look at the many forms of grief we experience: the loss of a loved one, a marriage, a career, a dream, or even a sense of home. These vulnerable and uplifting conversations invite guests to share how they navigated their hardest chapters and found a way to move forward: not by leaving grief behind, but instead by carrying it with them in a new way. Amanda also shares the life-changing lessons she learned after the loss of her husband in 2020. Join Amanda and her guests as they share their “Good Grief Moments” — the unexpected gifts, lessons, and perspectives that have changed their lives after loss.
