Andrea Knoche From Mrs to Ms Podcast

My name is Andrea. I am divorced and the proud mother of two beautiful sons ages 21 & 26. I have worked in the mortgage business for the last 24 years and after most recently being laid off, I have enjoyed pursuing other passions and endeavors. I have a side business selling workout and athleisure wear as well as health and fitness products and I have my podcast 'From Mrs to Ms" which was most recently started about a year ago. This podcast has allowed me to share my crazy dating stories and to talk to people that have gone through the same things as well as experts that give incredible advice.
