Music can change your state of mind. Shania Twain, the best-selling female artist in country music history, has been using songwriting as therapy as she works through a difficult period in her life.

In this chat with Fearne, Shania explains how the repetition of words in the songs she writes can act like therapeutic mantras, both evoking and releasing emotions. Shania also talks about being resilient, and the relationship she’s had with fear and optimism across a tumultuous life. Plus, she shares her feelings about her changing body over time.

Shania’s new album, Queen of Me, is out now.
