Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, will share her "personal struggle to rebuild her life" -- after her bombshell scandal -- in a six part docu-series on OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network.

"I'm doing this because I need to heal my mind, body and spirit," says Ferguson of the series, which is set to premiere in early 2011. "After 22 years of raising my two amazing daughters, it’s time for me to mother myself. My hope is that sharing my journey will help someone else."

Lisa Erspamer, the chief creative officer of OWN, reveals that other big names are involved in the project.

"With the help of experts Dr. Phil McGraw, Suze Orman, Martha Beck and others, The Duchess will open up about her recent public troubles and explore her lifelong battles with weight, relationships and finances. She will look to put the past behind her and move forward to a positive future," Erspamer says.

Ferguson was infamously caught on video earlier this year appearing to offer an undercover journalist -- posing as a businessman -- access to her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, Duke of York, in exchange for money.
