00:08this time around and what song are you looking forward to performing at the festival well the
00:12recording process was actually really you know started off really really positive you know not

00:23for my marriage fighting to exist you know still exist period in the music business and then it
00:30turned into you know me fighting for my life period so it all isn't as bad as the situation is it all
00:39turned out to be positive because I got a chance to take everything including some of the amazing
00:45uplifting songs like indestructible and hello father and things like that I got a chance to
00:52keep those because I don't want people to say you know in the midst of my trials I'm just going to
00:58die in it no there's light at the end of the tunnel for me you know this is a heavy thing but I'm not
01:03going to let it kill me you know that's that's called being a strong woman to me like being able
01:08to survive something like the last five years of my life you know that's been all over the press
