Meghan Markle’s ‘Confessions of a Female Founder’ Podcast Premieres

​Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has launched a new podcast titled “Confessions of a Female Founder,” where she engages in candid conversations with prominent female entrepreneurs. In the premiere episode, Meghan converses with Whitney Wolfe Herd, CEO of Bumble, discussing their shared experiences with intense media scrutiny and the challenges of public life. They reflect on the emotional impact of public criticism, with Meghan describing it as “brutalizing.”

The podcast also delves into personal topics, such as Meghan’s health struggles with postpartum preeclampsia, a condition she found “so scary.” Both Meghan and Whitney emphasize the global impact of this condition, which contributes to numerous maternal and fetal deaths annually.

“Confessions of a Female Founder” aligns with the launch of Meghan’s lifestyle brand, As Ever, and is produced by Lemonada Media. The eight-episode series provides a platform for Meghan and her guests to discuss their entrepreneurial journeys, personal challenges, and the realities of balancing public scrutiny with private life. ​

The timing of the podcast’s release coincides with Prince Harry’s appearance in a London court to appeal a decision denying him publicly funded security during UK visits, sparking discussions about the couple’s media strategies.
