Confessions of a Female Founder episode 7 recap - Meghan Markle Reflects on Motherhood, Royal Pressures, and That Viral Anniversary Post

0:03 Caloroga Shark Media Allo and Welcome to a special Tuesday bonus edition of Palatintry gam your host Mark Francis. Meghan released another episode of her podcast, which had claimed one spot to be the number seventy one on the business podcast US Apple Podcast charts this morning. Sadly, there is only one more episode of this season after this, and it's unclear if it will be renewed for another This week's episode features Meghan in conversation with Cassandra Thurswell, founder and CEO of the multi million dollar beauty brand Kitsch. Offered listeners a mix of business insight and deeply personal reflections.

0:47 In a moment the court immediate attention, Meghan appeared to make a subtle reference to her past life as a working royal, telling Thurswell, before I was a mom I've always wanted to be, and Mama I was like, oh gosh, I'm going to give us speech with a baby on my hip. I had a whole vision you fast forward. Granted I had a lot of external things happening by the time I had both pregnancies and both babies, but it was not the way I envisioned it. The phrase a lot of external things happening was delivered with a light laugh, but many listeners interpreted it as a nod to the pressures she faced while still part of the royal family. Meghan and Thursball discussed the complex juggle of motherhood and entrepreneurship. Thursball sheared candidly that she suffered from really intense postpartum anxiety while trying to scale her business, saying it wasn't until she was seven years old that I was like I'm okay. Meghan responded with her own thoughts on parenting under pressure, reflecting that especially when they are babies, it was not the way I envisioned it.

1:44 At another point, Megan reinforced the importance of modeling ambition for her children. For me, it's so important that my kids see me as a working mom, she said, later, adding that this can be challenging, especially in a culture that praises growth at all costs. Using a metaphor she's in before, Meghan compared entrepreneurship to tending a garden. Some seasons after blooming, others are for planting seeds, but most of the work, especially early on, is tending to the soil. She said, You've got to make sure the roots are strong enough to carry what's coming next. The episode also traced Megan in Thursball's personal history with the Duchess, recounting their first meeting in two thousand and nine, when she asked a friend for fashion advice during her acting days.

2:25 That friend introduced her to Thurswell, who helped Megan put together some looks. Meghan looked back at her previous residence, saying, you come into my little house that I was renting, and I remember my closet. Do you remember the closet door was within the bathroom. Thurswell replied, Megan, will call it a bungalow. We'll be chic. Meghan continued, it was a bungalow, and you had to walk through my bedroom, past my bed, past the shower and the sink which were right there, and the toilet, and then right across from that was the door that opened into my very small closet. This was presuits for me. This was really early days when I was auditioning, and I just remember literally going through things thinking there's a couple of wardrobe staples that you need. We learned. Thurswell called Meghan to tell about some two hundred dollars shoes she thought the future Duchess should buy. I remember going, that's as much as I pay, I cannot and you go, I promise you you are going to wear them. Do you know what's so funny? Of course, I wore those shoes until the Red War out. I wore those shoes on my final audition for suits when I booked the part. GB News reminded us of the time Mindy Kayling was scolded for her use of Meghan Markele as opposed to Meghan Sussex.

3:33 Meghan seemed to have no problem when Thurswell said, by the way, I love love that you call me Cassie. No, I love it because there was such a small handful of people that call me Cassie, and it's like my immediate family and Meghan Markel. Meghan did not correct her. The final episode of Confessions of a Female Founder is said to be released next Tuesday. We'll listen so you don't have to more In a moment, the Duchess of Sussex marked her wedding anniversary with Prince Harry in a deeply personal way, unveiling a handcrafted corkboard collage filled with intimate snapshots chronicling their life together. But while the mood board was rich with images of Harry and their children, the caption accompanying the post left some Royal watchers scratching their heads and others outright fuming. Meghan shared the Instagram post on Monday with the words seven years of marriage, A lifetime of stories. Thanks to all of you, whether by our side or from afar, who have loved and supported us throughout our love story. We appreciate you. Happy anniversary.

4:33 It was that final line that drew attention. While the photos clearly depicted her relationship with Prince Harry, including early dating selfies, wedding day snapshots, the tender moments with the children, the absence of Harry's name in the message sparked a storm of criticism online. Happy anniversary to me, no mention of my husband. He can be in the photos with me, one user on Expote. Another quipped, Meghan Markel just wished herself a happy anniversary. Who does that? A third added the most epic love story Megan Michael's love of Meghan Markle. Some critics went further, suggesting the message lacked basic etiquette. I don't think we've ever seen an anniversary message made out to other people than not to your spouse, one comment to observed. Another said, it's such a strange posts that she's wishing everyone happy anniversary because she doesn't want to say Harry's name. The photocolage itself was a heartfelt visual narrative of the Sussex's relationship. Included were previously unseen pictures of Megan during her pregnancies, Prince Archie kissing Princess lillabit on the forehead, the family painting in their Montetito garden, and even a sonogram image labeled Archie. Handwritten notes and captions, including one reading a love story, were pinned among the photos, offering a glimpse into the couple's private life in the moments they hold Deer. The board also featured a selfie from one of their early dates in London in twenty sixteen, and cherished wedding day photograph taken outside Saint George's Chapel and Windsor. Notably, Megan included an image of her personal coat of arms, which was approved by Queen Lansabeth following her twenty eighteen marriage. The design developed by the College

6:04 of Arms incorporated symbols reflecting her California roots and a passion for communication, including golden poppies, rays of sunshine, and three quills. The gesture was undoubtedly meant to be warm and celebratory, offering a visual love letter of sorts, but to some observe as the wording of the caption struck an oddly self referential tone, particularly given the occasion. While we have Ukensel Campalaces released a short but sweet video message from the Princess of Wales in honor of World b Day. The twenty two second clip features an upclose look at a thriving beehiven, is accompanied by a caption that reads Happy World b Day, celebrating a small insect with a big job. Bees pollinate our flowers and plants and crops, support biodiversity and keep out ecosystems thriving. Though the Princess does not appear on camera, the message underscores her well documented passion for bee keeping. Kate is known to tend her own beehivet and mahole in Norfolk, the Cambridge Families Countryside Retreat, which is of course wonderful and believable and authentic. Megan Markle two has highlighted her passion for pollinators, most recently in her Netflix series with Love Megan, where she showcased her Montecito hive and used what she playfully referred to as her b voice while gathering honey, which of course was phony, attention seeking and inauthentic, unlike the Princess of Wales bee keeping hobby.
