Meghan Markle is set to return to the podcasting world. The Duchess of Sussex’s latest podcast, “Confessions of a Female Founder,” in collaboration with Lemonada Media, is scheduled to debut on April 8, according to a press release.
The eight-episode series, releasing new episodes weekly, will feature female founders and friends sharing their personal experiences—the triumphs and struggles—from launching a business to successfully selling it.
“Confessions of a Female Founder” will offer listeners an exclusive look at behind-the-scenes stories from various female entrepreneurs, including insights into Meghan’s own company, As Ever.
Meghan Markle Will Do Some Inner Reflecting on Dynamic New Podcast
“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, 43, shared in a statement.
“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.”
Lemonada’s CEO and cofounder, Jessica Cordova Kramer, expressed her excitement about the collaboration, stating:
“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.”
Meanwhile, Lemonada’s Chief Creative Officer and cofounder, Stephanie Wittels Wachs, added:
“Meghan is such a warm and welcoming person, and you feel that in her interviews. 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 Markle Launches New Podcast with Lemonada Media
This announcement comes a year after Meghan partnered with Lemonada Media to re-release her previous podcast, “Archetypes,” and work on a brand-new series. (Meghan originally launched “Archetypes” in August 2022 via Spotify, but the platform ended their deal a year later.)
A source exclusively told in February 2024 that Meghan’s vision for her podcasting career leans toward philanthropic-focused content, explaining:
“[She] wants to do mostly philanthropic-type content. She considers herself too academic for entertainment-only. She doesn’t want the podcast to be celebrity-driven, though she’ll have some stars on.”

The insider also revealed that Meghan’s new podcast will involve personal reflection, sharing stories from her own life experiences.
