Keeping it real.

Bachelor Nation fans first met Alicia Holloway as she looked for love on Season 25 of “The Bachelor.”

After her time on the show, Alicia found love with Juan Matallana and the two hard-launched their relationship in 2021. 

Since then, Alicia has been keeping fans updated with her life, her ballet career, and her relationship. And last year, the two announced their engagement during a trip to Aruba.

A couple months ago, the Bachelor Nation star revealed on her Instagram Story that she and Juan are officially no longer together.

Now, Alicia has taken to social media to share the “biggest mindset shift” she experienced after ending her engagement. In a new post online, Alicia decided to tell the “best breakup advice” she received from her dad.

She explained, “I broke up with my fiance a few months ago, and when I was going through that I remember having a phone conversation with my dad. And I of course at the time was literally crashing out. I remember being like, ‘Dad I literally have no idea what the h*ll my life’s about to look like.’ Like I thought I was going to get married soon, I thought that I was about to be a mom, thought I was gonna buy a house and settle down. And I had this idea in my head of what I wanted my life to look like. It felt like the carpet just got yanked out right under me.”

Alicia recalls telling her dad that she had “no idea what the future holds for me,” and he told her something that completely changed her outlook. 

“He goes, ‘Well pumpkin, isn’t that the beautiful part?’ And I thought to myself, ‘What?’” she shared. “He explained and was like, ‘The fact that you don’t know what’s next, is honestly kind of amazing. Now you can create whatever reality your heart desires. You can manifest anything into existence. Now there’s so many opportunities, so many doors that can be opened that probably would’ve never opened when you were with your ex.’ And that was the biggest mindset shift of the past six months for me.”

The Bachelor Nation star then encouraged viewers who may be going through a similar situation to try to stay positive.

She said, “If you’re going through a breakup, a divorce, etc. and you feel like you have no idea what your future looks like, just remember that that is the exciting part…The unknown is scary, but it’s also quite beautiful🤍🫶🏽”
