Meghan Markle’s latest podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, is launching in less than one month—and it’s a venture Meghan said she’s “so proud of.”

Confessions of a Female Founder, which premieres on April 8, will see Meghan having candid chats with female founders and friends who “open up about the success, the struggles, and the never-before-told stories that took many of them from starting a company to selling it,” Lemonada Media, which Meghan is partnering with to release the show, said in a March 13 release.

“I’m so proud of what we’re creating and the candid conversations that I’m able to have with other female founders as we unpack the twists and turns of building a business,” Meghan said. She, too, knows what being a founder is like from personal experience—as the podcast is released into the world, her lifestyle brand, As ever, is also set to launch this spring, right on the heels of With Love, Meghan, her eight-part series on Netflix.

Confessions of a Female Founder will also feature eight episodes, and Meghan added, “Through my friendships and relationships, we’re able to dive into the type of insights that everyone wants to know as they’re building a business, and that I’m able to tap into as I’m building my own business with As ever.”

New episodes will be released weekly, according to Lemonada, and listeners can hear not only unfiltered stories behind the successes of Meghan’s guests—all notable female founders—but also get a peek behind the curtain of Meghan’s own entrepreneurial journey launching her brand.

“As female founders ourselves, Steph and I are grateful to get a chance to build alongside Meghan the exact podcast we needed when we started Lemonada,” said Lemonada’s CEO and co-founder, Jessica Cordova Kramer, who launched the company with co-founder and chief creative officer Stephanie Wittels Wachs in 2019. 

“Meghan is such a warm and welcoming person, and you feel that in her interviews,” Wittels Wachs added. “She creates a comfortable space for her guests to bring fascinating personal stories to the table and open up in a way they likely haven’t before publicly. Listeners can expect conversations that are way more break room than boardroom.”

Meghan’s partnership with Lemonada was announced in February 2024, following her exit from a deal alongside husband Prince Harry with Spotify, which produced her 2022 podcast series Archetypes.

Meghan has been candid about her ups and downs as a brand founder, specifically the brand changing its name from American Riviera Orchard—which was announced a year ago this month—to As ever, announced by Meghan on her newly-relaunched Instagram in February.

“There are tons of twists and turns—even with the name,” Meghan told People of starting her brand. “I was figuring it out in real time.” She added, “I appreciate everyone who was supporting and gave me the grace to make mistakes and figure it out—and also to be forgiving with myself through that. It’s a learning curve.”

Announcing the podcast on her Instagram on March 13, Meghan said she has “been having candid conversations with amazing women who have turned dreams into realities, and scaled small ideas into massively successful businesses. They’re opening up, sharing their tips, tricks (and tumbles), and letting me pick their brains as I build out my own business, As ever. It has been absolutely eye-opening, inspiring…and fun! (Because what’s the point if we can’t have some fun on this wild adventure?)”
