Tia Mowry Tells Fan How To Overcome ‘Gut-Wrenching Feeling of Divorce'

Tia Mowry is sharing her advice for overcoming the “gut-wrenching feeling” of divorce.

During a Q&A on her Instagram Story on Wednesday (June 25), a fan asked Mowry, “Girl how the hell do I recover from this divorce ? Lord help me Chile!”

Mowry responded, “I think I'd say: dive into doing the work. Really, truly focus on self-care. Focus on what makes you happy and what brings you joy. Build a tribe, a community of friends, a support system. Meditate. Try new hobbies. Read books on healing. Spend time with your kids if you have them, or just surround yourself with people who genuinely love and support you.”

In October 2022, the Sister, Sister actress announced her split from actor Cory Hardrict after 14 years of marriage. The former couple share daughter Cairo, seven, and 13-year-old son Cree.

Her advice also included, “Do things that feel fun and fulfilling. Travel, if you can. Traveling really helped me. It's all about creating new experiences. The more experiences you have, the further away you get from that heavy, gut-wrenching feeling of divorce.”

The 46-year-old star concluded, “Also, allow yourself to cry. Allow yourself to feel it all. Just don't let it consume you. I hope that helps.”

Last October, Mowry told People she gives herself the space to be vulnerable in front of her daughter.

“The thing is as a mother, you kind of try to figure out if you should allow them to see your emotions, your ups and your downs," she told the magazine at the time. "And I've made the choice to move from an authentic place. And allow [Cairo] to see that there are days when Mommy is sad. And that's okay."

"And it's not about covering up, you know, things," she added. "And I think when you move in authenticity, there's healing, there's growth — and I've allowed my children to do that as well."
