On Sept. 17, clairvoyant medium Tyler Henry returned to Netflix with a brand-new weekly live series, Live from the Other Side with Tyler Henry, moderated by dancer and actor Amanda Kloots. In Episode 1, “Connection,” Henry sat down with Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause, who made an emotional bond with her late parents via Henry’s reading. 

Within the space of a year, Stause lost both of her parents — first her father, Jeff, in 2019, and then her mother, Ranae, in 2020. After the live broadcast, Tudum spoke with Stause about what it felt like to hear from them again — and what she’s taking away from the experience. 

What were you looking for when you sat down for Live from the Other Side with Tyler Henry?

I had some questions that I knew I really wanted to ask. I felt my mom trying to come through to me before, and [this] served as the most beautiful confirmation of things I would’ve thought she felt. There’s nothing like having someone as amazing as Tyler to solidify things I knew she wanted me to know. My last conversation with my mom was hard, and it was really nice for him to just really let me know I can let that go. Knowing that my parents had a hand in sending me my partner [musician G Flip], which I also felt like I knew, but it was really beautiful to have it come from Tyler as confirmation. I really knew my parents were going to work hard to be here today.

There were really emotional moments during the show. What did you feel like when Tyler made that connection?

My whole body was trembling. I don’t know what it looked like on camera, because when it was happening, my heart was racing. It’s weird. It’s like I was excited and nervous, and I couldn’t wait to hear what they wanted to say because I knew that they wanted to say things. I’ve just had so many instances where I can tell that they’re trying to show up, but I don’t have the ability to know what they’re saying.

What are you going to take away from this experience?

I think I love knowing that they’re still here with me. It’s just nice knowing they’re still around because they were gone too soon.
