What if the biggest sign you're in a healthy relationship isn't butterflies, excitement, or chemistry, but the fact that you finally feel at peace? In this deeply personal solo episode of From Mrs. to Ms., Andrea opens up about her life after divorce, the responsibilities she's carried for her family, the heartbreak that changed her perspective on relationships, and what it's been like to find love again. She's sharing the real story behind her new relationship, including meeting someone on Bumble, navigating long distance, learning to trust again, and realizing that love doesn't have to come with constant anxiety. But even when things feel right, old relationship wounds can show up when you least expect them. Andrea shares a moment that brought those feelings rushing back and how a simple, honest conversation showed her just how different a healthy relationship can be. This episode is about more than finding love. It's about setting boundaries, recognizing your worth, allowing yourself to be vulnerable, and discovering what it feels like to finally be yourself with someone. Whether you're divorced, dating again, healing from heartbreak, or wondering if your person is still out there, this one's for you.

He says he's emotionally mature. He's ready for a relationship. He's a protector, a provider, and he knows how to treat a woman. But what happens when his actions tell a completely different story? This week on From Mrs. to Ms., Andrea sits down with relationship coach and relational leadership mentor Mike Elliott for an eye opening conversation about emotional availability, relationship patterns, and why some men don't show up as the partners they claim to be. After his own divorce brought him to rock bottom, Mike was forced to confront the childhood wounds, coping mechanisms, and emotional patterns he hadn't even realized were affecting his marriage. What he discovered changed the way he approaches love, vulnerability, and relationships. Together, Andrea and Mike explore why men sometimes say all the right things but fail to follow through, how to recognize genuine emotional maturity, and why asking the uncomfortable questions early in dating can save you from heartbreak later. They also share an unexpectedly emotional moment about healing, learning to receive love, and finding the courage to face the parts of ourselves we've spent years avoiding. In this episode: Why a man might genuinely believe he's emotionally available when his behavior says otherwiseThe difference between emotional maturity and simply knowing what to sayHow childhood experiences can influence adult relationshipsWhat to watch for when a man's words and actions don't alignWhy difficult conversations reveal so much about someone's emotional capacityHow to recognize accountability, vulnerability, and healthy relationship behaviorWhy personal healing starts with looking inward Whether you're dating again, recovering from heartbreak, or trying to understand the patterns in your relationships, this conversation offers a different perspective on what emotional availability really looks like. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Emotional Maturity: The Truth Behind the Words 00:49 Why Men Repeat Childhood Relationship Patterns 06:16 Meet Relationship Coach Mike Elliott 07:56 When His Words Don't Match His Actions 09:29 The Divorce That Changed Everything 11:37 How Success Can Mask Emotional Wounds 13:33 Could His Marriage Have Been Saved? 15:18 The Coping Mechanisms That Kept Him Numb 17:48 Facing Trauma and Learning to Be Vulnerable 21:21 Why Emotional Healing Hit So Close to Home 26:24 Investing in Yourself Without Losing Yourself 32:17 Why You Should Never Feel Pressured by a Coach 33:34 Why Men Promise More Than They Deliver 35:42 Do Emotionally Unavailable Men Know What They're Doing? 37:00 Why Claiming Emotional Maturity Can Be a Red Flag 39:36 What to Do When His Actions Don't Match His Words 41:27 Questions to Ask When Dating 42:42 Why Women Fear Asking Difficult Questions 43:48 How to Recognize Emotional Maturity 48:01 The Relational Authority Framework Explained 50:02 Gentle Power, Accountability, and Healthy Masculinity 52:31 Where to Find Mike Elliott 💡 I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU: Follow the podcast wherever you listen, and subscribe on YouTube for more honest conversations about dating, relationships, healing, and life after divorce.

Are you struggling with people pleasing in dating and relationships or saying yes when you really want to say no? In this episode of From Mrs. to Ms., Andrea sits down with award winning leadership coach and master hypnotherapist Amy Green Smith to talk about how to stop people pleasing, set healthy boundaries, say no without guilt, and stop abandoning your own needs to keep other people happy. Andrea gets personal about the ways people pleasing has shown up in her own dating life, including a date she knew she wanted to cancel, her tendency to accommodate other people's preferences, and even a recent moment when she realized she was looking to someone else for approval. Amy explains how to recognize when compromise has crossed into self abandonment, why someone's reaction to your boundaries can tell you a lot about the relationship, and how to stop overexplaining every time you say no. You'll also learn Amy's simple three step framework for having difficult conversations, how to practice speaking up in low stakes situations, and why taking inventory of what you complain about can reveal exactly where you may need stronger boundaries. Then Andrea puts Amy through “Compromise or People Pleasing?” with real dating scenarios including changing plans for someone you're dating, agreeing to keep things casual when you really want commitment, and staying quiet about something that hurt you because everything else is going so well. Amy leaves us with one powerful reminder: “Do not allow your silence to make you a liar.” If you've ever worried that setting a boundary will make you difficult, selfish, or unlovable, this conversation is for you. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Meet Amy Green Smith 02:07 Why We Say Yes When We Want to Say No 07:02 What People Pleasing Really Looks Like 12:03 Healthy Compromise vs. Self Abandonment 20:03 How to Recognize People Pleasing 22:07 How to Say No Without Feeling Guilty 25:33 Why We Overexplain Our Boundaries 28:41 Can You Take Back a Yes? 31:16 Andrea Gets Vulnerable About Seeking Approval 37:06 The Three Step Boundary Recipe 40:12 When Someone Pushes Back on Your Boundary 47:18 How to Rebuild Trust in Yourself 48:30 The Complaint Inventory 50:27 Game: Compromise or People Pleasing? 58:50 Do Not Let Your Silence Make You a Liar 💡 I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU: This week, pay attention to the moments when you’re about to say yes when you really want to say no. Before you answer, ask yourself: Am I choosing this because I genuinely want to, or because I’m afraid of disappointing someone? Start with one small moment and choose yourself.

Harry Jowsey is down to five women, the wedding is ONE WEEK away, and finally someone is asking the question I’ve been screaming at my TV: Wait… you actually expect me to marry you next week?! On this Episode 6 recap of Let’s Marry Harry, we’re heading to Las Vegas, meeting the families, watching Dannelle and Harry drop the L-word, and unpacking why Amber’s hesitation may actually make her one of the most marriage-ready women left. Plus, the bathroom mystery continues, Sam starts asking some very important questions, Harry faces the ultimate parent test, and I’m raising his Husband Material Score to its highest number yet.

What happens after the divorce papers are signed and suddenly you’re sitting there thinking… what the hell do I do now? This week, Andrea sits down with Amber Lee, creator of Separation Story Time, for a hilarious, honest and surprisingly vulnerable conversation about the part of divorce nobody really prepares you for: becoming single again. Amber shares how her own divorce led her to start documenting the messy moments of starting over, eventually turning those stories into Separation Story Time and a community of people navigating divorce, dating, single parenthood and everything that comes next. Andrea and Amber get into dating apps, the divorce glow up, terrible dates, falling in love again, being naked with someone new after marriage, body insecurity, sex after divorce, dating as a single mom and the very strange experience of realizing you actually might like this new version of yourself. They also get very honest about the grief that can exist even when you know a marriage needed to end, why healing is anything but linear, and what Amber wishes someone had told her when she was sitting in the hardest part of starting over. And yes… there are dating disasters. Because obviously. In this episode: • What divorce actually feels like versus what you think it will feel like • Why dating apps feel like an endless supply of “options” that aren't really options • The divorce glow up and becoming the main character in your own life again • Falling in love after divorce • Sex and body confidence after marriage • Dating while raising a child • When to introduce someone you're dating to your kids • Staying friends with an ex • Younger men, splitting the check and post divorce thirst traps • Why starting over can eventually become something you never expected Amber’s reminder for anyone in the messy middle: your life isn't over. You can grieve what mattered and still build a life you love on the other side. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 The part of divorce nobody talks about 01:40 How Separation Story Time started 05:37 Getting married young and why the marriage ended 08:45 What Amber thought divorce would be like 12:30 The first date after divorce 16:08 The divorce glow up 21:11 Dating apps: love them or hate them? 24:09 Where do you actually meet people now? 28:01 Catfishing and dating profile lies 33:18 Hinge, Bumble and Tinder 35:32 Sex after marriage 36:36 Body confidence and intimacy after divorce 43:53 Dating as a single mom 47:11 When should someone meet your child? 50:47 Divorce & dating rapid fire 55:41 Checking your ex's social media 57:27 Would Amber ever get married again? 58:17 What every woman starting over needs to hear 💡 I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU: If this episode made you think of a woman who is navigating her own “Mrs. to Ms.” chapter, send it to her.

SPOILER WARNING: This episode contains spoilers for Episode 5 of Let’s Marry Harry. Harry Jowsey just said “I love you”… and almost immediately regretted it. Episode 5 of Netflix’s Let’s Marry Harry finally gives us some of the emotional depth I’ve been waiting for. Harry opens up about his fear of losing love, Amber and Harry connect over grief, Sam starts asking the questions that actually matter, and Juliana wants Harry to finally tell her how he feels. And then everything goes off the rails. Juliana tells Harry she loves him. Harry says it back. The problem? He doesn’t mean it. We’re talking about why saying “I love you” just to avoid an uncomfortable moment isn’t kindness, why self-awareness means very little without behavioral change, and why chemistry and compatibility are two completely different things. Plus, Amber shoots to the top of my board after a surprisingly vulnerable date… right before that mysterious bathroom situation changes the entire mood. My Harry Husband Material Score is officially back up to a 5.5/10, but with that shower still running, I’m not sure how long it’s going to survive. Tell me: Was Harry wrong for saying “I love you” when he didn’t mean it? Is Amber your new frontrunner? And what is YOUR Harry Husband Material Score this week? Follow From Mrs. to Ms. so you don’t miss my Episode 6 recap. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Is Harry Becoming Husband Material? 05:00 Harry’s Fear of Losing Love 07:15 Amber & Harry Connect Over Grief 10:20 Sam Asks the Right Questions 15:10 The “I Love You” Disaster 23:15 Self-Awareness Without Behavioral Change 28:10 Harry Ends Things With Juliana 35:00 Amber & Harry Disappear Into the Bathroom 👀 40:30 Harry’s Husband Material Score 💡 I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU: Would you forgive someone for saying “I love you” when they didn’t mean it?

What happens when a first date turns into a full blown debate about how men and women date? Traditional Man is back for Part 2, and this time the conversation goes way beyond what happened between Andrea and him. After hearing Andrea’s original episode about their date, he came on the podcast to explain his perspective. In Part 1, they unpacked what he says Andrea got wrong, why he was “testing” her, the low cut dress debate, feeling objectified and whether effort on a date creates expectations. Now things get even spicier. Traditional Man shares his views on sexual history, dating double standards, what men really think about a woman’s past, why he believes women’s preferences are celebrated while men’s are criticized, and one statement Andrea absolutely needed him to explain: “Women control sex. Men control commitment.” Andrea and Amy push back. Do women control commitment too? Do men also decide whether sex happens? Should someone’s sexual past determine their value as a future partner? And can you have a dating preference without judging people who do not fit it? Then the conversation takes one final unexpected turn. And just when you think the debate is over, Andrea finally asks the question she never got answered: Did he actually want a second date? His answer might be the biggest surprise of the entire conversation. This conversation is provocative, uncomfortable at times, surprisingly funny and exactly why dating conversations need more than one perspective. Now I want to hear yours. Did hearing Traditional Man explain his perspective change your opinion at all? Which argument did you agree with? Which one had you yelling at your phone?

Spoiler alert: We are recapping Episode 4 of Netflix’s Let’s Marry Harry, and Harry Jowsey may finally be showing a few signs of husband material. But do not get too excited. Andrea is joined by dating and relationship coach Ozzie Osborne to break down the growing tension between Amber and Juliana, Abby’s surprisingly meaningful conversation about married life, and Rickiyah’s powerful decision to choose herself when Harry could not fully choose her. Then Harry identifies his toxic dynamic with Juliana, admits that he feels himself slipping into old patterns, recognizes that he is love bombing her… and saves her anyway. Is self awareness actually growth if your choices never change? Is Harry looking for a wife, or is he still chasing chemistry, validation, and the emotional high of an unhealthy connection? Andrea gives Harry a husband material score of 5 out of 10. Ozzie is far less generous.

What happens when the man you talked about on your podcast actually listens... and wants to respond? Back in Season 8, Episode 11, Andrea shared the story of a date with a self proclaimed “Traditional Man.” She walked away from the date feeling questioned, tested and, at times, objectified. He walked away with a very different interpretation of what happened. If you haven’t heard the original episode, go back and listen to S8 E11 first for the full story. And yes, he heard the episode. This week, Amy Watts is back as Andrea revisits the date and the claims he says she got wrong. But instead of trying to guess what he meant, they decide to ask him directly. Traditional Man joins the conversation to explain his side, including what being a traditional man means to him, why he says he was “testing” Andrea, why he searched through her Instagram before their date, and whether a woman showing her body publicly creates any expectation about what she should give a man privately. Then the conversation gets even more interesting when Andrea asks one very simple question: “Did you earn my low cut dress?” His answer opens up an entirely different conversation about dating, vulnerability, effort, entitlement and what men and women believe they owe each other when dating. This is only Part 1. Do you hear entitlement in his perspective, or do you understand where he’s coming from? ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 He’s Here: Traditional Man Responds 01:18 He Heard the Original Episode 05:07 What Andrea Got Wrong 11:44 “I Was Testing You” 14:27 Does a Man Care About a Woman’s Past? 17:24 Women Control Sex, Men Control Commitment? 19:14 Traditional Man Joins the Conversation 27:48 What Is a “Traditional Man”? 30:38 The Low Cut Dress Debate 43:49 Vulnerability or Entitlement? 44:18 “Did You Earn My Low Cut Dress?” 🔥 💡 I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU: Listen now, then come find me on Instagram @from.mrs.2.ms and tell me whose perspective you understand more.

Harry Jowsey says he’s ready to leave his old dating life behind, settle down and find a wife. So naturally, in Episode 3 of Let’s Marry Harry, he kisses 11 women in one night. Yes. Eleven. This week, I’m breaking down the moment “Scary Harry” starts creeping back in and asking the question that matters more than how many women he kissed: Can Harry actually change his relationship patterns when temptation is sitting right in front of him? We’re talking about Harry’s growing connection with Dannelle, why Juliana may be activating a very different side of him, the women beginning to compete for Harry instead of evaluating whether he’s actually right for them, and why chemistry and compatibility are definitely not the same thing. And then there’s Harry’s realization that maybe kissing his way through the house isn’t exactly helping him find a wife. Self awareness is a start. But self awareness without behavioral change is just really accurate narration. Plus, I reveal my updated frontrunners, give you my Girl, Run Moment of the Week, and Harry’s Husband Material Score takes another hit. The bigger question after Episode 3 is no longer whether Harry can find a woman he likes. Can Harry actually choose one and give up all the other possibilities?

Harry Jowsey says he’s ready for a wife, but Episode 2 of Let’s Marry Harry has me wondering whether he’s actually choosing differently or already falling back into the same dating patterns. This week, the kissing officially begins, and so do the questions. I’m breaking down Harry’s growing connection with Dannelle, why Amber has him so intrigued, the Faith “braggadocious” controversy, and whether Harry was justified in sending Faith home simply because she talked about their kiss. We also need to talk about that VERY suggestive scene between Harry and Dannelle and what they’ve since said actually happened. But the bigger conversation this week is chemistry vs. compatibility. Harry clearly knows how to create physical chemistry, but can he recognize the kind of woman he could actually build a healthy marriage with?

Let’s Marry Harry Ep. 1: Can a F*ckboy Really Become Husband Material? Harry Jowsey says he’s done with his old ways and ready for a wife. But can a man with a very public history of love bombing, toxic relationships and questionable dating decisions really decide he’s suddenly husband material? I’m officially recapping Netflix’s Let’s Marry Harry, and Episode 1 gave me A LOT to talk about. We’re breaking down Harry’s decision to get married, the 20 women who willingly signed up to become his potential wife, the very interesting decision to bring his ex into the process, and the question I’ll be asking all season: Does Harry actually want to BE a husband… or does he just want to HAVE a wife? I’m also watching the women closely. Who’s actually evaluating Harry? Who’s already falling for his potential? Who thinks she can change him? And who might be here for something other than marriage? Plus, I’m giving Harry his first official Husband Material Score. This isn’t just a reality TV recap. We’re talking chemistry vs. compatibility, broken dating patterns, emotional availability, love bombing, red flags and why wanting a different relationship doesn’t necessarily mean you’re ready to create one. Spoilers for Episode 1 ahead. Watch along with me because we’re recapping this entire train wreck. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — Can Harry Jowsey Really Be Husband Material? 02:30 — Who Is Harry Jowsey & Why Marriage Now? 05:30 — How Losing His Dad Changed His Perspective 08:00 — Meet Harry’s 20 “Fiancées” 10:30 — Are the Women Evaluating Harry—or Trying to Be Chosen? 13:30 — Harry’s Ex Is Helping Him Find a Wife?! 16:00 — The Women I’m Watching: Who’s Here for the Right Reasons? 18:30 — Can a Former Player Actually Change? 21:00 — Stop Falling in Love With Potential 23:30 — Chemistry vs. Compatibility 25:30 — Harry’s Husband Material Score 27:00 — My Episode 1 Predictions + What’s Coming Next 💡 I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU: 💍 WATCHING LET’S MARRY HARRY?

Dating after 50 comes with a whole new set of questions and sometimes it’s nearly impossible to tell the difference between trusting your gut and letting your anxiety take over. This week, I’m joined by relationship coach and Love at Any Age host (plus Menopause Love Lounge Host) Laurie Gerber to tackle three VERY real midlife dating dilemmas. What happens when the good morning texts suddenly stop and he says he’s just “busy”? What if his ex-wife is still calling and texting him years after their divorce? And what do you do when you’ve been exclusive for months, act like a couple, but he still refuses to put a label on the relationship? Laurie brings the 30 years married and relationship-coach perspective. I bring the perspective of someone who has actually been out here dating after divorce. And while we definitely agree on some things, we don’t see everything the same way. We’re talking breadcrumbing, communication, sex and attachment, staying friends with an ex, relationship labels, commitment after divorce, and one of the hardest questions of all: When are you being patient… and when are you settling? If you’ve ever stared at your phone wondering what the hell his behavior actually means, this episode is for you. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Is he busy… or is he pulling away? 02:43 Dilemma #1: He’s still texting, but something feels off 04:40 Did intimacy change the relationship? 06:30 When does “busy” become an excuse? 08:54 Are you giving him space or playing games? 09:54 The conversations you should have by date three 11:10 The problem with good morning texts 13:18 Andrea’s controversial take: Are good morning texts breadcrumbing? 14:52 Stop guessing and start asking what he wants 16:39 Dilemma #2: His ex-wife is ALWAYS around 18:54 When being friends with an ex is actually okay 20:18 Should you meet his ex? 20:33 Andrea’s relationship with her ex-husband 22:18 When an ex starts marking her territory 23:15 Friendship or emotional dependency? 23:42 How to talk about jealousy without sounding controlling 25:47 Dilemma #3: He wants forever… but not the label 27:44 Why relationship labels actually matter 28:31 When one person wants commitment and the other feels pressured 29:12 When it may be time to step away 29:58 “Consequences are very clarifying” 31:43 Why months 7–8 can reveal real compatibility 32:16 “I need time” vs. being strung along 34:05 Does marriage still matter after 50? 35:19 Patience vs. settling: How do you know the difference? 36:14 Final takeaways 37:17 Send us your dating dilemma 💡 I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU: If one of these dilemmas hit a little too close to home, I want to hear yours. 🎧 Listen Here Apple: From Mrs to Ms Spotify: From Mrs to Ms Stay connected with Andrea ▶ YouTube: @frommrs2ms ◎ Instagram:@from.mrs.2.ms ♪ TikTok: @from.mrs.2.ms 🌐 Website: From Mrs to Ms Podcast ✉️ Email: [email protected] Stay connected with Laurie Gerber ▶ YouTube ◎ Instagram 💙 Facebook: 🌐 LinkedIn Visit her website for more info: Laurie's Website Wondering if you’re even ready to date?

Long-distance love can be exciting, romantic and even a little addictive…but eventually, somebody has to ask: Where is this actually going? Amy Watts is back for Part 2 of our very honest conversation about long-distance relationships—and this time, we're getting into what happens after the excitement wears off and real life starts creeping in. Are you both making the same effort? Should you ever put your life on hold for someone? Are red flags easier to hide when you live hundreds—or thousands—of miles apart? And how do you know you're actually compatible when most of your time together feels like a mini vacation? We also get into one of the unexpected perks of long distance: the anticipation. 👀 Yes, we're talking flirting, FaceTime, sex, keeping the spark alive and why all that time apart can sometimes feel like one very long form of foreplay. Then we tackle the BIG questions: How do you test everyday compatibility? When should you start talking about relocation? Who moves? And when do you admit that love might not be enough to make the distance work? Amy also leaves us with one of my favorite lines from this conversation: She'd rather have an amazing relationship with someone on another planet than settle for “meh.” Same, girl. SAME. Because the goal isn't simply finding someone who's geographically convenient. It's finding a relationship that's actually worth making room for. 🎧 If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, start there first! 💗 FREE LONG-DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP REALITY CHECK I created a free 15-question guide to help you figure out whether you're building something real—or falling for the fantasy. 👉 Get the free guide here: https://frommrs2ms.com/distance ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Long-Distance Love: When the Real Questions Begin 02:27 Is the Effort Actually Equal? 03:12 Time Zones & Communication Fatigue 05:21 How Distance Can Trigger Insecurity 08:08 Can Long Distance Expose Red Flags Faster? 09:02 Could Someone Be Hiding Another Life? 10:24 Consistency: Do Their Actions Match Their Words? 10:59 Don't Put Your Life on Hold 13:31 Why Long Distance Is Working for Me 16:22 Enjoying This Season Instead of Rushing It 17:18 The Red Flags You Don't Get to See 18:26 “Is NOT Seeing Red Flags a Red Flag?” 20:32 Have You Met Their Friends & Family? 21:31 The Pros of Long-Distance Dating 24:21 How Do You Keep the Sexual Spark Alive? 🔥 25:25 Why Distance Can Feel Like Foreplay 29:14 Are You Compatible in Everyday Life? 31:01 When Should Someone Move? 34:13 How Do You Know When It's Time to End It? 35:34 Why Your Friends Need to Meet Them 36:18 Amazing Long Distance—or “Meh” and Local? 37:14 The Biggest Takeaway 💡 I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU: Are you building something real—or falling for the fantasy? 🎧 Listen Here Apple: From Mrs to Ms Spotify: From Mrs to Ms Stay connected with Andrea ▶ YouTube: @frommrs2ms ◎ Instagram:@from.mrs.2.ms ♪ TikTok: @from.mrs.2.ms 🌐 Website: From Mrs to Ms Podcast ✉️ Email: [email protected] CONNECT WITH AMY WATTS Instagram: @soshedidlifecoaching Facebook: @AmyWatts MindBodySoulSchool.com Please help support the show (every little bit helps 💕)
