Tia Mowry is sharing her personal experience and advice on how to overcome the challenges of divorce. The actress, who finalized her divorce from Cory Hardrict in April 2023, recently took to her Instagram Stories to answer fan questions, including one about recovering from a divorce.

In response to a fan's question about how to recover from a divorce, Mowry advised focusing on self-care and doing things that bring joy. "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," she said.

Mowry also emphasized the importance of spending time with loved ones, including children, and engaging in activities that feel fun and fulfilling. "Travel, if you can. Traveling really helped me. It's all about creating new experiences," she added.
