Dating After Divorce, Reinventing My Life & Building Two Successful Podcasts

Sometimes the biggest heartbreak becomes the beginning of your best chapter.

In this special episode, the tables are turned as Andrea sits down with Rocco Cross to share the story behind From Mrs. to Ms., how divorce changed the course of her life, and what she’s learned while navigating today’s dating world.

From hilarious dating app disasters and catfishing to learning the importance of reciprocity and emotional security, Andrea opens up about the lessons she wishes she’d known sooner.

The conversation also explores the inspiration behind her second podcast, Menopause Love Lounge, the realities of producing two shows independently, her son Grant’s music career, their children’s book, and why reinvention is possible at any stage of life.

Whether you’re healing from heartbreak, dating again, or simply looking for inspiration to start over, this episode is an honest conversation about resilience, purpose, and finding yourself again.
