This is advice that divorced Tia Mowry recently shared with Rachel Lindsay
On Tuesday, June 18, E! News published an exclusive interview with Lindsay. During her chat with the outlet, she opened up about the advice she received from Mowry. EQUAL Shade room Previously, it was reported that Mowry filed for divorce from her ex-husband, Cory Hardrict, in October 2022. Additionally, their divorce was finalized in June 2023.
E! News note that Mowry and Hardrict have been married for 14 years.
“She said: ‘Don’t look back at the past, it will hold you back. Don’t look into the future, it will make you worried. Every day, live in the present because every day you get through it and you get stronger,’” Rachel explains.
Additionally, the attorney shared that she reminds herself of Mowry’s advice “every day.”
“The moment she talked to me, I was so nervous about trying to control the future,” she said.
Lindsay explains that her “biggest fear is losing control” and although she feels “that’s the space” she’s currently in, she says Mowry’s advice is “liberating ”.
“I’m a Taurus, I’m an enneagram number eight, and my biggest fear is losing control, and that’s the space I’m in right now,” she shares. “And when she said that to me, it was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. It’s very freeing.”
‘The Bachelor star shares what she’s focusing on
After receiving Mowry’s advice, Lindsay explained that she now doesn’t “worry about things” that she “can’t control.” Instead, she focuses on “making time” for herself.
“I know people see me all the time and that’s the truth,” she said. I don’t want to hide my feelings by going out. Yes, hanging out with friends is healing. Yes, travel is healing, but it is superficial. I really want to do the work from within.”
Lindsay explains that she is currently doing activities “to heal” herself from “the inside.” Once she does that, she believes she will be “better on the outside.”
“It’s meditation, it’s prayer, it’s exercise, it’s getting outside and being in nature, it’s spending more time with family and friends… As I enter summer, there are Maybe we’re soaking in a little heat. Summer girl, maybe not. I walked in. We will see what happens,” she said.
Additionally, Lindsay says she’s unapologetic about putting herself first.
“I took the time to really reflect and figure out what I needed to move forward, what was good for me,” she shares. “Yeah, it sounds a bit selfish but it’s also very necessary. And I think that’s part of self-care….”
Rachel Lindsay recently detailed a choice she regretted in her previous marriage
Lindsay is moving forward by putting herself first. However, that wasn’t always the decision she made in her former relationship with Abasolo. EQUAL Shade room Previously reported, earlier this month, Lindsay revealed that she initially wanted a prenuptial agreement with Abasolo before they got married.
However, she went against her initial judgment.
“The reason I don’t [get a prenup] is because my current financial situation… is completely different from when I got married. We’re classier and I don’t live in California,” she explained while appearing on ‘Hidden gem with Natasha Parker‘ audio file. “We are not on the same page with pre-registration and I don’t want it to become a bigger problem. So we don’t have one.”
Ultimately, Lindsay explains that “hindsight is 20/20.”
“I will do that 1718762265,” she said before adding. “Everyone should have a prenup. I could never have predicted that in 2024 I would be divorced. You just never know what life will throw at you or what will happen.”
EQUAL Shade room previously reported, Lindsay met Abasolo during season 13 of ‘The Bachelorette’. The couple walked down the aisle in 2019. However, in January 2024, Abasolo filed for divorce while also asking Lindsay for spousal support.
In May, Abasolo doubled down on his request by asking the judge to grant him emergency spousal support from Lindsay, according to Shade room. Abasolo reportedly wants his estranged wife to cover $75,000 in his legal fees.
Additionally, Abasolo also noted that he wants Lindsay’s financial support so he can move out of their shared home in Los Angeles.
“Rachel and I are cohabitating at our Family Residence, but neither of us wants to continue living together. Our current living situation is very awkward and stressful. I would like to vacate our Family Residence as soon as possible, but maintaining our standard of living is not financially feasible at this time,” Abasolo’s May filing noted, according to EVERYBODY.
Lindsay responded to Abasolo’s urgent request for a spouse later that month.
