After being sober for four years, Jessica Simpson is ready to discuss her journey. 

Simpson, 41, shared in a new cover story with Entrepreneur that her subconscious played a major role in both her personal and professional life. 

"When I stopped drinking, it was because I had stopped hearing the voice I really trusted, and I was lost without her," Simpson told the outlet.

The "A Public Affair" singer then referenced a hard moment in her life, which she wrote about in her memoir, "Open Book." She recalled a night during a Halloween party where she had a couple of drinks and was unable to dress her children. 

Simpson has three children: Birdie, Maxwell and Ace.

"I was terrified of letting them see me in that shape," Simpson wrote in her memoir. "I am ashamed to say that I don't know who got them into their costumes that night."
