Catching up with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, continues to expand her entrepreneurial ventures with the launch of her new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, and the debut of her lifestyle brand, As Ever.
Confessions of a Female Founder
On April 8, 2025, Meghan introduced her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, in collaboration with Lemonada Media. The series aims to spotlight the journeys of female entrepreneurs, delving into their challenges and triumphs. In the premiere episode, Meghan engages in a candid conversation with Whitney Wolfe Herd, founder of Bumble, discussing topics ranging from business hurdles to personal health experiences, including Meghan’s own encounter with postpartum preeclampsia.
While the podcast has garnered attention for its intimate discussions, it has also faced criticism. Some reviewers have described the content as lacking depth, suggesting that it leans more towards personal anecdotes than actionable business insights.
Parallel to her podcast, Meghan launched As Ever, a lifestyle brand that reflects her passion for cooking and entertaining. The brand offers a curated selection of products, including crêpe mix, shortbread cookies adorned with flower sprinkles, herbal teas, and raspberry spread. These items are inspired by Meghan’s personal experiences and aim to bring a touch of elegance to everyday moments.
The launch of As Ever has seen a positive reception, with products selling out shortly after release. Meghan’s approach combines personal storytelling with product offerings, creating a unique brand narrative that resonates with consumers.
With Love, Meghan
In addition to her podcast and lifestyle brand, Meghan introduced a Netflix series titled With Love, Meghan. The show provides viewers with a glimpse into her life, blending creativity with broader themes of empowerment and resilience. This series complements her other ventures, offering a cohesive narrative across different media platforms.
In a world that often seeks to define women by headlines rather than heart, Meghan Markle continues to rise — with grace, purpose, and undeniable influence. Despite the noise, the criticism, and the relentless scrutiny, she shows up with creativity, compassion, and a clear desire to inspire. Through Confessions of a Female Founder, As Ever, and With Love, Meghan, she invites us not just to witness her story, but to reflect on our own.
What I admire most is her courage to keep going — to build, to speak, and to create spaces for others to shine. Whether she’s amplifying the voices of women in business, curating beautiful products that bring joy, or simply sharing pieces of her journey, Meghan reminds us that there is power in authenticity.
And that, to me, is the mark of a true founder — and a woman worth listening to.
