IA MOWRY HAS BEEN IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY SINCE SHE WAS A LITTLE KID THE TIA OF TODAY IS VERY DIFFERENT EVEN FROM A COUPLE YEARS AGO. >> SHE HAS A NEW LOOK AND A NEW OUTLOOK ON LIFE AND WE ARE SO HAPPY TIA IS HERE TO TELL US ALL ABOUT IT WHEN YOU WALK IN THE ROOM, YOU HAVE THIS GLOW. >> OH, MY GOSH I HAVE BEEN HEARING THAT SO MUCH AND THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT. >> SO WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING >> I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MYSELF, YOU KNOW PROBABLY WHAT YOU SEE RIGHT AWAY IS I CUT MY HAIR >> YEAH. >> AND I REALLY SEE IT AS A SYMBOL OF REBIRTH. YOU KNOW I FEEL LIKE HAIR, HOLDS A LOT OF MEMORIES AND EXPERIENCES AND I AM NOW ON THIS NEW CHAPTER I WAS LIKE, LET'S START OVER AND IT IS OKAY TO START OVER. >> YEAH. >> YOU ARE GROWING AND CHANGING RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES. YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH SOME DIFFICULT TIMES. I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE AT HOME HAVE BEEN THROUGH, TOO A MARRIAGE THAT DOESN'T WORK AND ACKNOWLEDGING IT AND MOVING THROUGH THAT SO WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN, LIKE HOW HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING ON YOURSELF AND WHERE ARE YOU TODAY? HOW ARE YOU DIFFERENT THAN A COUPLE YEARS AGO >> A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE, HIS NAME IS JOEL, HE ASKED ME THIS CHALLENGING QUESTION, CHALLENGING TO ME. EF SAI HE SAID WHO ARE YOU IF YOU ARE NOT MOM? WHO ARE YOU IF YOU ARE NOT AN ENTERTAINER. I REMEMBER I STARTED TO CRY. I FEEL LIKE WE AS WOMEN, WE GET LOST IN THOSE ROLES, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? IT'S VERY EASY FOR US TO PUT EVERYBODY FIRST. I AM DEFINITELY A PEOPLE PLEASER. I THINK IT'S OKAY TO SACRIFICE AND TO PUT OTHERS FIRST AT TIMES, BUT YOU CANNOT LOSE YOURSELF IF YOU DO THAT TOO MUCH, AND THERE IS NO BALANCE, I LIKE TO SAY LIKE WHAT HAPPENED WITH ME, YOU KIND OF BLEED OUT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO FILL UP YOUR CUP SO I AM JUST GOING ON THIS JOURNEY OF, YOU KNOW, REDISCOVERY, LEARNING, YOU KNOW, WHO IS TIA MOWRY WHO IS TIA MOWRY NOW IT IS NOT EASY IT'S HARD. BUT I WILL SAY I HAVE PEACE. THERE IS A SENSE OF FREEDOM. I AM THE AUTHOR AND THE WRITER OF MY STORY. >> YEAH. DON'T YOU LOVE THAT? AND I FEEL LIKE -- >> THAT'S GOOD JUST TO HEAR THAT. >> DOESN'T THAT FEEL POWERFUL? BY THE WAY, THAT'S EVERYBODY EVERYBODY CAN HAVE -- AND I THINK SOMETIMES WITH CHANGE, WITH ENDINGS, PEOPLE HAVE THIS RESISTANCE LIKE, WAIT, WHAT I CAN'T, YOU KNOW? >> AND I THINK IT'S BECAUSE WE ARE TAUGHT CHANGE IS NOT GOOD. WHAT I'M LEARNING IS THAT CHANGE IS CONSTANT, AND CHANGE WILL ALWAYS WIN SO WE HAVE TO BE PREPARED FOR CHANGE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN BE PREPARED TO LET GO AND, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY I CUT MY HAIR, TOO. JUST LETTING GO. >> I THINK IT'S -- YOU SAID YOU WERE ASKED THE QUESTION, WHO ARE YOU? >> YES. >> SO DID WE FIND OUT WHO? BECAUSE A WOOFIFE OR A MOTHER -- >> I AM LIVING IN MY TRUTH I AM NOW LIVING OUT MY PURPOSE AND WALKING IN AUTHENTICITY. AND I FEEL LIKE WHEN YOU DO THAT, THERE IS JOY AND THERE IS PEACE YES, THERE ARE, YOU KNOW, LITTLE BITS OF HAPPINESS THERE, TOO SOME PEOPLE ASK ME, ARE YOU HAPPY? AND I WILL SAY, I HAVE, YOU KNOW, GOOD DAYS AND BAD DAYS, BUT I SEE THE SUN. YOU KNOW, THERE IS LIKE A LITTLE CLOUD, BUT THE SUN IS PEEKING THROUGH, AND IT FEELS GOOD IT FEELS GOOD TO BE LIVING AND COMING BACK TO MYSELF, YOU KNOW? >> IT'S SO NICE. I THINK -- >> IT'S NOT EASY. >> AND I THINK ANOTHER THING THAT ISN'T EASY BUT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO SORT OF COME TO TERMS WITH IS CO-PARENTING. >> YES. >> FIGURING OUT HOW TO SHOW UP FOR YOUR KIDS. >> YEAH. >> EVEN ON THE DAYS THAT AREN'T EASY. >> I WILL SAY THIS IT HAS BEEN EASY FOR ME WHEN I PUT MY CHILDREN FIRST. >> TOTALLY. >> YEAH. >> SO WHEN I JUST LOOK AT THEM -- >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> IT'S EASY. >> YEAH. >> SO, THAT'S RIGHT. THERE YOU ARE. THIS JOURNEY HAS TAKEN YOU IN ANOTHER WAY, TOO. >> YES. >> YOU HAVE A NEW PRODUCT THAT YOU HAVE CREATED. >> YES, FOR YOU. >> TELL US ABOUT IT. >> LIKE I TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, SELF-DISCOVERY, I FEEL LIKE, LIKE MYSELF, A LOT OF WOMEN ARE JUST, YOU KNOW, GOING THROUGH LEARNING MORE ABOUT THEMSELVES AND SELF-ACCEPTANCE AND JUST EMBRACING THEIR NATURAL HAIR AND THAT'S THE JOURNEY THAT I HAVE BEEN ON I KIND OF RAN INTO A WALL BECAUSE THERE WEREN'T A LOT OF PRODUCTS OUT THERE THAT WORKED FOR ME, AND AFTER LIKE DOING RESEARCH AND LIKE TALKING TO EXPERTS, I WAS LEFT EVEN MORE CONFUSED I'M ALL ABOUT WELLNESS AFTER BECOMING A MOM, LOOKING AT THE INGREDIENTS. >> TOTALLY. >> AND THEN I LEARNED THAT ALL NATURAL AND NATURAL INGREDIENTS DON'T NECESSARILY MEAN NATURAL >> YEAH. >> AT ALL. THAT'S LIKE A SCARY THOUGHT, RIGHT? SO I SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS NOT ONLY CREATE OPPORTUNITY IN THE TEXTURED COMMUNITY WITH HAIR, BUT I WANT TO, YOU KNOW, COME UP WITH A PRODUCT THAT REALLY IS SAFE, THAT REALLY IS CLEAN, THAT LOGICAL DOES WORK. SO ONE BOTTLE COSTS $12. >> THAT'S AMAZING. >> YES I PARTNERED UP WITH AN AMAZING COMPANY, THEY ARE THE LEADERS IN FORMULATING JUST REALLY SAFE, CLEAN PRODUCTS FOR BEAUTY. BUT I FEEL LIKE WOMEN IN THE TEXTURED COMMUNITY, THEY HAVE COMPROMISED TOO MUCH WITH HAVING TO CHOOSE BETWEEN SOMETHING VERY EXPENSIVE OR AFFORDABLE WITH TOXIC INGREDIENTS. AND FOR YOU WE ARE CHANGING ALL OF THAT. IT'S SAFE. IT'S CLEAN IT'S BACK BY SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY IT WORKS. >> I LOVE IT. >> FOR YOU BY TIA. >> YES AT WALMART >> YES
