Tia Mowry found travel helped her to heal after her divorce.
The former Sister, Sister star split from Cory Hardrict - with whom she has Cree, 13, and seven-year-old Cairo - in 2023 after 15 years of marriage and she has urged anyone who finds themselves suddenly single to "dive into doing the work" on themselves and to take time for self-care.
Asked during a fan Q+A on her Instagram Story how to recover from a divorce, she wrote: "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.
“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 actress stressed that it is OK to feel emotional but to try not to get "consumed" by sadness.
She added: “Also, allow yourself to cry. Allow yourself to feel it all. Just don’t let it consume you. I hope that helps.”
Cory recently explained he and Tia had managed to avoid a "messy" divorce by putting their children first.
Speaking on 'Sherri', the 45-year-old actor said: "Everything starts and ends with love. We are a family, no matter what people say. I block out the noise. My kids are going to live to see this one day, and I am going to represent for them, always.
"If you really love your children, you won't get involved in the noise or the mess. I make sure that I always think about them first. I put myself last. If you do that, you're going to avoid the mess."
His comments come shortly after Tia revealed that Cory had been her "first everything" and that she had never really known anything than their marriage when it comes to relationships.
Speaking during a confessional segment on her WeTV reality show 'Tia Mowry: My Next Act', she explained: "You know I’ve never dated. Cory was my first everything.
“I wasn’t even allowed to date until I was 18 years old. "I met Cory when I turned 20 and I lost my virginity at 25. There, I said it! And then we got married! Boom!"
