Bachelor Nation's Rachel Lindsay Shares the Advice She Received From Tia Mowry After Bryan Abasolo Split

In an exclusive interview with E! News, Bachelor Nation star Rachel Lindsay shared how she's practicing self-care and discussed her new campaign with Clairol.

Rachel Lindsay is embarking on a new journey.

And she isn't doing it alone. Five months after fans learned that she and Bryan Abasolo are divorcing, the former Bachelorette shared the advice she received from fellow star Tia Mowry, who'd also gone through a divorce with her husband of 14 years Cory Hardrict.

"She said, 'Don't look at the past, it will hold you back. Don't look at the future, it'll give you anxiety. Every day, stay in the present because every day you make it through and you get stronger,'" Rachel told E! News' Francesca Amiker in an exclusive interview. "And I say that to myself every single morning."

Tia's words really resonated with the reality star, too.

"In the moment she was speaking to me, I was having so much anxiety of trying to control the future," she continued. "I am a Taurus, I am an enneagram eight, and my biggest fear is loss of control and that's the space that I'm in now. And so when she said that to me, it was like a burden had lifted off. It was very freeing."

And Rachel continues to live by the Sister, Sister alum's words of wisdom.

"I don't worry about the things I can't control," she added. "I kind of like the serenity prayer, and I just stay in the present. And every day I'm like, 'Well, I survived that day, and I'm stronger for it.'"

For Rachel, part of getting stronger is practicing self-care.

It's "honestly really just spending time with myself," the Higher Learning podcaster shared. "I know people see me out and about, and that is true. I don't want to mask what I'm feeling by going out. Yes, hanging out with friends is healing. Yes, traveling is healing, but it's superficial."

"I really want to do the work from within," she continued. "So I'm doing things that can heal me from within, and then I'll be better on the outside. So that's meditation, that's prayer, that's exercise, that's stepping outside and just being one with nature, that's spending more time with family and friends, that is changing my hair color so I look and feel good. As I'm stepping into the summer, maybe we're dabbling in a little bit of hot girl summer, maybe not. I step my toe in. We'll see what happens."

In fact, Rachel said she feels her "most confident ever" and encourages others to find what brings them joy and what makes them feel whole.

"I've taken the time to really self-reflect and figure out what I need moving forward, what's good for me," the 39-year-old said. "Yeah, that sounds a little selfish but also very necessary. And I think that's a part of self-care. I've been very honest with myself. I talk to myself a lot, which they say is a sign of genius and insanity. And then I figure out what it is on the outside that I want for myself too."

And one of those factors included the decision to switch her style up, including a change to her hair color. So, she partnered with Clairol to launch their Clairol House Calls campaign and worked with celebrity hairstylist Kim Kimble to transform her tresses to the shade 2N Mocha Brown from Clairol's Textures & Tones collection.
"I think a part of self-care is feeling confident," she continued. "And so for me, as I'm stepping into this stage of resting, and renewing, and refreshing, and rejuvenating and all the other reasons you wanna add, part of that is my look and my appearance. And so for 2024, I also wanted to step out with something new, and so this process and working with Clairol really gave me the opportunity to do that."
