About this episode

Andrea Knoche shares her personal journey of grief and how it has transformed her approach to dating and relationships.

I almost didn’t come back.... After losing my mom at the end of 2025, everything shifted… including how I see love, relationships, and even this podcast. This episode isn’t perfect. It’s not polished. And honestly, I probably recorded it before I was ready. But it’s real. And sometimes, real matters more than perfect. In this deeply personal comeback episode of From Mrs. to Ms . , I’m sharing where I’ve been, what I’ve been going through, and how grief has changed the way I show up in dating and relationships. Because when life reminds you how short and fragile it is… you stop wasting time on the wrong people. And that clarity? It changes everything. In this episode, I also break down the 8 things I’m no longer accepting in dating —from inconsistency and emotional unavailability to situationships and confusion—and what I’m choosing instead. This is the start of a new chapter. One rooted in intention, clarity, and self-respect. If you’ve ever had to show up when you weren’t ready… If you’ve ever had to rebuild after loss, heartbreak, or a major life shift… This one is for you. And if you’re ready to get serious about your dating life, I’ll be opening a few spots soon to help you…
