<p>Let's Go Girls....</p><br><p>Overcoming grief, illness, heartbreak, sexism, losing her voice, Shania Twain is a cultural icon whose resilience is truly astonishing. Selling over 100 million albums worldwide, her story is one of fearlessness and strength.</p><br><p>Shania joins me to share her wisdom and optimism, always finding the silver lining in life.
