“The real work that needed to be done in my life was to actually accept failure, pain, brokenness, and self sabotage. The drinking wasn’t the issue. I was,” she added.

Simpson also talked about struggle to keep her self respect, “I didn’t love myself. I didn’t respect my own power. Today I do. I have made nice with the fears and I have accepted the parts of my life that are just sad."

“I own my personal power with soulful courage. I am wildly honest and comfortably open. I am free,” she added.

Simpson is also a proud mother to daughters Maxwell, 12, and Birdie, five, with husband Eric Johnson. 

The 'I Belong to Me' singer is planning to relaunch her music career in the coming days.
