In early April 2025, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, debuted her new podcast titled Confessions of a Female Founder. This series aims to discuss the entrepreneurial journeys of women as Markle herself navigates launching a luxury raspberry spread business. Her experience focuses on the challenges and triumphs faced by women in business, shedding light on topics such as sleepless nights, lessons learned, and dedication that brought them to success. The podcast is recorded from Markle's residence in Montecito, California, following her decision to step back from royal duties. Initially, the podcast made a modest impact on Spotify, entering the Top 10 but receiving a mixed reception in its debut week. In conjunction with the launch of the podcast, Markle also released four lines of English-accented tea products, with her first offering featuring cookies. The Duchess is keen on establishing her brand in a saturated market, aiming to inspire fellow women entrepreneurs through her podcast platform.
