Meghan Markle reveals aching disclosure during Archie's birthday video
Casual Chatter:Meghan Markle talks about 'tough times' in new podcast episode, reminiscing on lost 'shine.'
The Duchess of Sussex let her guard down on a recent episode of her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, dishing about the importance of everyday rituals and how they impact success.
In the latest episode featuring Hannah Mendoza, founder of Clevr Blends, Meghan shares some personal struggles she faced while managing her personal life and career.
According to US Weekly, the former Suits star opened up about losing her 'best and shiniest self' during a tough phase, seeking solace in her close female friends. She expresses, "The comfort of spilling your guts to someone who truly understands... That’s part of that bond of sisterhood and understanding that every day isn’t perfect."
Meghan talks about those painful days when her personal life took a hit, forcing her to put on a brave face for her team: "Sometimes life throws a curveball, and you can't show up with your full brightness."
Fans of the Sussex clan eagerly await glimpses of Archie's birthday celebrations on Meghan's Instagram page, as the Duchess often shares adorable photos of her kids with followers.
It's worth noting that Meghan dropped this heartfelt podcast episode right after Prince Harry returned to Montecito following a heavy legal setback. Last week, the UK court rejected his plea to restore his official security detail, leaving him devastated.
In case you didn't know, Meghan's work-life routine is all about balance and adaptability. Being a hands-on mom to her kids, Prince Archie (5–6) and Princess Lilibet (3), she prioritizes her home as her office. She highlighted that working from home allows her to be physically present for her family while pursuing projects like her podcast and her lifestyle brand, As Ever.
Meghan also pointed out the challenges of juggling parenting milestones like potty training with professional goals and stressed the importance of flexibility, emotional labor, and technology as tools to remain present during every aspect of life.
When it comes to managing tasks and warding off overwhelm, Meghan swears by her 'do-it-now' mantra and boundary-free parenting. Regardless of how busy her workday is, she doesn't want to miss a single moment with her kids.
Despite the demands of motherhood, Meghan successfully launched multiple projects in 2024–2025, including a Netflix cooking show (With Love, Meghan), a popular lifestyle brand (As Ever), and her podcast spotlighting female founders. She views these ventures as an extension of herself and her personal values.
