The singer talked about letting go of her 'emotional shield.'
“If we want the light to push through our soul, we have to put down our emotional shield and make the choice to remove the alienating walls of armor,” she wrote.
“A strong person is often found in the aloneness of character building while creating space for the higher purpose of self,” Simpson said. “Every ‘no’ is guiding you.”
“The wait is preparing you,” she continued. “Trust that the divine detours in life are perfectly guiding you to who you are becoming. Let yourself soak in the light of a new day. It is a good day to have a great day.”

The artist and her ex-husband tied the knot in 2014 after dating for four years.

Jessica Simpson Was 'Nervous' During 'American Idol' Performance
The artist said she was super 'nervous' to perform for the first time in 15 years.
“I don’t find it hard to love anybody, but I have always thought that I was hard to love, that I was too much for people, or my schedule was too demanding,” she shared. “He knows my heart and understands my heart more than anyone I’ve ever met in my life.”
While Simpson navigates her life post-divorce, she made the bold decision to perform on stage for the first time in 15 years.
During the American Idol finale on May 18, the entertainer graced the stage to sing one of her newest songs “Blame Me.” Though she said she was incredibly “nervous,” she was proud of performing a song that meant so much to her.
