Meghan has made a frank admission about the future of her podcast, as she admitted to be being ‘spread too thin’ between her reality TV show and her lifestyle brand
Meghan Markle has made a huge announcement about the future of her podcast after admitting she has been “spread too thin” with her various projects.
The Duchess of Sussex made the frank admission during a candid chat with Emma Grede on her Aspire podcast.
Meghan revealed that her own podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, would not be coming back for a second season anytime soon, as she focuses more on her lifestyle brand As Ever.
She first penned the deal with Lemonada Media in 2024 for her podcast, which debuted in April, with 12 episodes airing in a matter of months.
Meghan acknowledged “that there is so much excitement and desire for another season” of the podcast, but added, “I need to focus on my business. People seem to forget that very rarely do people see everything that’s happening behind the scenes.”
The podcast launched at the same time that Meghan’s lifestyle brand As Ever announced its first product drop, which Meghan said “was perfect synergy”.
She reflected on the busy time in her life as she juggled her multiple businesses, saying: “As I knew I was in this building phase of my business, what an amazing opportunity to pull back the curtain and let people see what’s happening at the start, when all the twists and turns are there.
“For me to have the opportunity to talk to so many female founders who’ve been on that full trajectory—that are on the other side of success, but still at certain chapters in their career and their growth—but to be able to be really candid and vulnerable personally about my learns and stumbles along the way and then to take everyone’s advice—and mine included.”
In addition to Meghan’s podcast and lifestyle brand, she is also working on a second season of her Netflix show – With Love, Meghan – which is expected to premiere later this year.
Joking with podcast host Emma Grede, Meghan said: “At a certain point, the only thing I want spread thin is my jam.”
The announcement about the future of the podcast comes just days after Meghan revealed that new products are coming to her brand As Ever, as she teased a new collection on the business page’s Instagram.
In a cryptic Instagram post, Meghan said that a range of “delicious surprises” will be in store for her second brand launch, writing on Instagram: “Oh yes, honey…sweet things await. We’re bringing back your favorites, plus some delicious surprises you won’t want to miss!” Fans won’t have to wait long to get their hands on the new range, with Meghan telling her followers to “mark your calendars” for June 20 at 8am PT (4pm UK time).
Along with the caption, Meghan added a picture of a stack of pancakes, topped with sweet raspberries and a generous drizzle of honey. The picture has many speculating that Meghan’s delicious honey will once again be for sale, along with her famous jams.
In a newsletter to fans, she said: “First off, a sincere thank you for making the debut of As ever absolutely extraordinary. We had a feeling there would be excitement, but to see everything sell out in less than an hour was an amazing surprise.
“We are pleased to share that on June 20th, we’re going live with the products you love – plus, some new delicious surprises,” adding that “so much love has gone into this”.
