Calorogus Shark Media.

00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:17.399
Hello and welcome to our new weekly show, Palace Weekly.

3
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:20.120
And what we do with this shows we take all

4
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:23.399
our highlights from stories during the past week and we

5
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:26.879
give them to our friends at Notebook LM powered by

6
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:30.960
Google and let their team have a little responsive chat

7
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.399
to all of the events. Now, some of you have

8
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:35.240
said in the comments that you are not big fans

9
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:37.560
of this show, and that's fine. You really don't have

10
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:40.520
to listen. It's just bonus content. We work really hard

11
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:44.560
here at Pallas Intrigue during the week to research, to write,

12
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:47.759
to voice to produce a daily show called Palace Intrigue

13
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:49.399
every day for you, and we hope you enjoy it,

14
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:51.439
and we know you listen a lot, so we really

15
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.479
really appreciate that this is just bonus content, So please

16
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:55.000
enjoy it.

17
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:55.520
For what it is.

18
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.240
If you love it, you love it. If you don't,

19
00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:58.320
you don't have to listen.

20
00:00:58.880 --> 00:00:59.399
Here you go.

21
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:04.519
Welcome back everybody. Today, we're doing a really fascinating deep

22
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:06.920
dive into the world of Megan Markle.

23
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.120
Oh yeah, she's everywhere right now.

24
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:13.120
She really is. But we're going beyond the typical headlines

25
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:15.480
this time, right exactly trying to dig a little deeper

26
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:17.680
into what she's been up to and what she's excited

27
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:18.519
about for the future.

28
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:20.200
It's a good time to be talking about this because

29
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:24.359
she just did this really in depth interview with People magazine.

30
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.799
Yes, as part of the promo for her new Netflix

31
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.079
cooking show, which is coming out soon and her rebranded

32
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:31.120
lifestyle platform.

33
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:32.879
Lots unpacked there there is.

34
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:35.560
We should probably start with family life, though, sure, because

35
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.799
in the interview she talks about this adorable moment where

36
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.079
her five year old son Archie tells her, Oh, yeah, Mama,

37
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:42.920
don't work too hard.

38
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:44.200
Oh that's so sweet.

39
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:46.400
It is, and it just speaks to how much she's

40
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.040
clearly loving being a mother, especially now that her children

41
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:50.079
are getting a bit older.

42
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:52.959
And Harry was in Vancouver at the time working.

43
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.959
On something right, but the article really highlights this idea

44
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:58.799
that she's finding more space to explore her own passions

45
00:01:58.799 --> 00:01:59.400
now as well.

46
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:01.640
Sense the kids are a bit older now, so she

47
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:03.480
has more time to focus on herself a.

48
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:07.359
Bit absolutely, and this also feeds into her renewed emphasis

49
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.560
on the importance of the Sussex surname for their family.

50
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:13.599
Yes, like creating their own identity as a family unit.

51
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:14.960
Separate from the royal.

52
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:18.639
Family exactly, and it seems Harry is being super supportive

53
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:20.479
of her pursuing these new ventures.

54
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:22.080
Oh yeah, completely on board with it.

55
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:24.560
Remember that anecdote where he's visiting the set of her

56
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:27.439
Cooking Share and he's like, this is Megan's moment to shine.

57
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:29.400
Oh I love that. It shows he really wants her

58
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:29.919
to succeed.

59
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.879
He does, and it reminds me of how she's completely

60
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:34.719
transitioned her lifestyle brand.

61
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:37.280
Oh yeah, that's a huge change from what she was

62
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:37.919
doing before.

63
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.080
If you guys remember she used to have that blog

64
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:41.159
called The Tig.

65
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:42.560
Yeah, I remember that one.

66
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:44.879
It was pretty popular, it was, but then she shut

67
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:46.439
it down, remember she did.

68
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:48.560
She said it was to focus on her relationship with

69
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:49.439
Harry exactly.

70
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.439
And now she's back with as Ever, which has gone

71
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:54.960
through a couple of iterations itself. Actually it was originally

72
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:56.800
called American Riviera Orchard.

73
00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:58.960
Okay, yeah, that does sound familiar.

74
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.879
But now it's as And it's really interesting to see

75
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:05.560
how she's emphasizing personal growth, learning and self forgiveness this

76
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:06.240
time around.

77
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:08.120
That's a pretty significant.

78
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.759
Shift, it is, and it makes you think maybe shutting

79
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:13.159
down The Tig was a necessary step back to allow

80
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:14.159
for this new chapter.

81
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.560
Maybe she needed that time to reflect and figure out

82
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:18.719
what she really wanted to do.

83
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:20.639
It does seem like she's coming into her own and

84
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:24.319
Harry even mentions seeing that spark back in her eyes.

85
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:27.520
Oh yeah, he said that, it's like she's rediscovering her passion.

86
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:29.599
The one that maybe got dimmed a bit during those

87
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:31.400
difficult years in the UK.

88
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:33.439
Yeahse are tough times for sure.

89
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:35.960
But it's clear that she's back, and she's even identifying

90
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.520
herself as an entrepreneur and a female founder, which is

91
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:40.599
a pretty bold statement.

92
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:43.039
It is, especially coming from someone with her background.

93
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.919
It definitely challenges those traditional expectations of what a duchess

94
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.080
is supposed to be like, she's breaking the mold right

95
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:52.439
and speaking of breaking the mold, we have to talk

96
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:54.719
about her new cooking show with Love Megan.

97
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:56.039
Sounds intriguing.

98
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:59.520
It does. It's definitely not your typical cooking program. What

99
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:03.400
makes it well, it's not the traditional stand and stir format.

100
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:07.199
She's focusing on a more communal, shared experience.

101
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:08.919
Social more like gathering around the table and enjoying the

102
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:10.319
food together exactly.

103
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:12.360
And the article even mentions that they ran out of

104
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.080
spoons on set because everyone was so eager to dig

105
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:16.519
in and try her dishes.

106
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.680
Wow, so she must be a good cook.

107
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:21.959
Well, if that's not a testament to her cooking, I

108
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:22.680
don't know what is.

109
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:24.839
I'm curious to see what kind of recipes she'll be

110
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:25.800
sharing me too.

111
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:28.680
And it's interesting how the show's name came about.

112
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:29.240
How's that?

113
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:32.639
Apparently a friend commented that it felt like Megan's love

114
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:34.879
letter to all the things she loves to do, and

115
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:35.720
that just stuck.

116
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:39.519
That's sweet. It really highlights the passion behind the project

117
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:40.160
it does.

118
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.399
It's not just a job for her. It's an expression

119
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:45.439
of herself and her love for bringing people together through food.

120
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:47.639
And it's probably a nice change of pace from the

121
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:49.000
formality of royal life.

122
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:52.720
Oh definitely. And speaking of bringing people together, her podcast

123
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:54.399
is also making a comeback the Spring.

124
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.079
Oh yeah, I remember hearing about that a while back.

125
00:04:57.319 --> 00:04:59.600
It's been a while though, so. She even joked about

126
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.439
how much social media has changed since she was last

127
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:03.240
active online.

128
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:05.639
Oh, I bet that's true. Things move so quickly these days.

129
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:08.879
She even mentioned boomerang, remember that vaguely.

130
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:11.240
I think my kids were using that a few years ago.

131
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:12.879
It seems like a lifetime ago.

132
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.000
Right, it does. But it's a good point. Like social

133
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:19.279
media is constantly evolving, it's hard to keep up sometimes, especially.

134
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:20.920
When you've been out of the game for a while, exactly.

135
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.079
But it also makes you think about the impact of

136
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:25.800
social media, especially for someone in her position.

137
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.720
Oh yeah, the constant scrutiny, the pressure to be perfect,

138
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:30.160
it can be overwhelming.

139
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:34.680
It's interesting though, because she's clearly rejecting the tradwife label,

140
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:37.839
but it's also clear that she enjoys certain aspects of

141
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:38.720
domestic life.

142
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:41.519
It's like she's finding her own balance between those traditional

143
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.399
roles and her modern aspirations.

144
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.879
Exactly, and it's refreshing to see it is it's.

145
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:48.839
A more nuanced perspective on what it means to be

146
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:49.720
a woman today.

147
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.040
So let's shift gears a bit and talk about life

148
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:56.600
in Montecito, because the article really paints a picture of

149
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.000
them trying to live a normal life, which seems almost

150
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.519
most impossible considering their level of fame.

151
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.279
Yeah, it's got to be tough to find that balance.

152
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:07.199
But they seem to be doing it. They're hosting play

153
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:09.920
dates for Archie, they're going out to dinners, they're p

154
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:11.600
attending events in their community.

155
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.040
It sounds like they're really trying to integrate into the community.

156
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.560
They are. And there's this charming anecdote about Megan sitting

157
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.120
up a camp at their home during the long winter break,

158
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:23.319
inviting their children's friends over.

159
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:25.920
Oh it's cute. It sounds like they're creating a really

160
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:27.959
fun and nurturing environment for their kids.

161
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.720
They are, and it's also a reminder that there's still

162
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.240
just parents trying to figure things out like the rest

163
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.959
of us, right exactly, and beyond the family stuff, she

164
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.560
seems to be really embracing life in Montecito.

165
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:40.160
Oh yeah, in what ways.

166
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.720
Well, she's going to pilates classes, having girls' nights out,

167
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:45.959
She's even forming friendships with other moms.

168
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.959
It sounds like she's building a real support system for herself.

169
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.759
She is. And there's this heartwarming story about her sending

170
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:56.439
balloons and a stuffed octopus from Archie and Lily to

171
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:58.399
a friend whose son had surgery.

172
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:00.959
Oh wow, that's so thoughtful of her. It is.

173
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:05.079
It really highlights her thoughtfulness and her desire to connect

174
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:06.959
with people on a personal level.

175
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:11.759
It's a reminder that despite their unique circumstances, they're still

176
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.680
looking for those genuine connections that make life meaningful exactly.

177
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.279
And she's even gotten into yoga apparently. Yeah, she goes

178
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:20.040
to classes with like forty or fifty people.

179
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:21.959
Wow, I didn't know she was that intioga.

180
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:23.720
Seems like she's really comfortable with it.

181
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.800
Now, that's cool. It's good to have those outlets, especially

182
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:28.399
with the kind of pressure she's under.

183
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:30.800
Oh for sure. And speaking of pressure, the article makes

184
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.480
it very clear that the cooking show wasn't filmed at

185
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:34.079
their home.

186
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:36.519
Oh right, they're keeping that space private.

187
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:40.120
Yeah. Megan's very clear about wanting to protect their family's

188
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:42.759
safe haven, which I think we can all understand.

189
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:45.720
Absolutely, it's important to have those boundaries, especially when you're

190
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:47.120
constantly in the public eye.

191
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.120
But the article does give us a peek into their

192
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:53.720
morning routine. Yeah. So apparently Megan's the one who wakes

193
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:56.759
up early, gets the kids ready, and even makes breakfast.

194
00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:58.480
Wow. She's hands on, she.

195
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.120
Is, And we even get some fun details about their

196
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:04.199
breakfast preferences. Well, Harry and Archie are big fans of

197
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:08.279
fried eggs classic right, and there's always bacon in the house.

198
00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:10.480
Who doesn't love bacon, And of course.

199
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:12.639
The occasional frozen waffle makes an appearance.

200
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:13.439
We've all been there.

201
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:16.560
But what I found really interesting was her emphasis on

202
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:19.120
cooking what she calls mama meals.

203
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:20.120
What are those?

204
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:23.480
These are recipes inspired by her own mother's cooking.

205
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:25.160
Oh, that's sweet, it is, And.

206
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:28.519
It's clear that food plays a significant role in creating

207
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:30.199
family traditions and memories.

208
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:34.120
For her, it's like passing down those traditions through generations exactly.

209
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:37.559
And she hopes that her children will cherish these memories

210
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.440
and maybe even recreate those dishes for their own families someday.

211
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:44.480
It's beautiful sentiment, it is, and it speaks to the

212
00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:47.559
power of food to connect us to our loved ones

213
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:50.200
and to our past. And just to give you guys

214
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.399
a little more insight into their lives that even share

215
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.200
some of their current favorite TV shows.

216
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:56.159
Oh, I'm always curious about what people are watching.

217
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.639
Apparently Shrinking Black Doves and The White Lotus are on

218
00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:00.000
their lips.

219
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:02.039
Oh, I've heard good things about those shows.

220
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.279
Me too. It's just fun to get a glimpse into

221
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:07.200
their downtime and what they enjoy doing as a family.

222
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:10.360
It humanizes them, it does so all in all, it

223
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:14.120
sounds like life after royal life is pretty busy for Megan,

224
00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:14.919
but in a good way.

225
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:17.360
It does seem like she's found a rhythm that works

226
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:18.320
for her and her family.

227
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.759
Yeah, and she seems genuinely happy.

228
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:22.200
Which is what matters most, right.

229
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.519
Absolutely, and that leads us to the big question, what

230
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:26.200
does the future hold for Megan?

231
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:27.200
Who knows?

232
00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:31.240
Right? But the article ends with her expressing excitement about

233
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:34.960
what lies ahead and acknowledging that life is full of surprises.

234
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.399
It's true, you never know what's around the corner.

235
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:40.720
And she seems to be embracing that uncertainty with open.

236
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:42.799
Arms, which is a good attitude to have.

237
00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:45.679
It is, And of course she couldn't resist a playful

238
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:47.879
jab about Archie driving in ten years.

239
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:49.639
How boy, can you imagine?

240
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:51.679
It's going to be interesting to see what unfolds in

241
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:53.080
the next chapter of her life.

242
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:54.480
I'm excited to see what she does.

243
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:56.840
Next, me too, And I think her story so far

244
00:09:57.039 --> 00:10:01.440
really highlights the importance of self discovery and pursuing your passions.

245
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:04.360
Absolutely, it's a reminder that it's never too late to

246
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:07.279
reinvent yourself into create a life that's true to who

247
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:07.639
you are.

248
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:11.639
Well said, and that wraps up part one of our

249
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.360
deep dive into Megan Markle's world. It's been fascinating so far,

250
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:18.080
it has, and we'll be back soon to continue this conversation,

251
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:23.679
so stay tuned. So, you know, we talked about her

252
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:26.360
being a mom, but it's really interesting to see how

253
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:29.399
she's framing that in this interview, Like she's deliberately trying

254
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:30.879
to control her own narrative.

255
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.519
Oh yeah, absolutely, Like she's presenting this image of herself

256
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.159
that's very down to earth and family oriented.

257
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:39.039
Exactly, and she's not shying away from the mom label,

258
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.720
but she's also making it clear that motherhood is just

259
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:43.639
one part of her identity.

260
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:44.960
It's not the whole story.

261
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:47.559
Right, She's saying, like, I'm a mom and I love it,

262
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:50.720
but I'm also this entrepreneur and this you know, woman

263
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:53.320
with her own passions and interests.

264
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:55.399
Which is a really powerful message for a lot of

265
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:57.799
women out there who are trying to juggle all these

266
00:10:57.840 --> 00:10:59.080
different roles it is.

267
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:01.639
And she's not a to be vulnerable either, like when

268
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.080
she talks about learning and growing and even forgiving herself

269
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:06.039
for past mistakes.

270
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:08.799
Yeah, that's a big deal, especially for someone in her position.

271
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.600
Right, there's this expectation that she has to be perfect,

272
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:15.080
and she's basically saying like, nope, I'm human just like

273
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:16.000
everyone else.

274
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.000
It makes her relatable, it does.

275
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:19.879
And it makes you think about her relationship with Harry too.

276
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:23.000
Oh yeah, they seem to have a really solid partnership.

277
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:26.360
They do. Like there's this mutual respect and support that's

278
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:28.559
evident in the way they talk about each other.

279
00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:31.960
Like remember when he visited this set of her cooking show.

280
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:34.919
Yeah, and he was so chill about it, like this

281
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.200
is Megan's thing, let her shine exactly.

282
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.960
He's not threatened by her success. Yeah, he's genuinely happy

283
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:41.360
for her.

284
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:44.600
And you can tell that she really appreciates his support.

285
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:46.840
And vice versa, like she talks about seeing that spark

286
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:49.440
in his eyes when he's passionate about something.

287
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:51.559
It's clear they bring out the best in each other.

288
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:53.720
They really do. They seem like a good team.

289
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.600
So we've talked about family, we've talked about relationship, but

290
00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:58.759
we also have to talk about her career ambitions.

291
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:00.559
Oh yeah, she's definitely got a lot going on.

292
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:05.600
She's not content with just being a duchess or a mom.

293
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:07.000
She wants to make a difference in.

294
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:09.879
The world, and she's using her platform to do just that.

295
00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:13.399
From her lifestyle brand, to her cooking show to her

296
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:17.320
upcoming podcast. It's like she's carefully curating her projects to

297
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:18.519
align with her values.

298
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:20.559
Like she's building a community around her.

299
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:23.519
Passions exactly, and she's not just talking about it, she's

300
00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:24.240
taking action.

301
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:26.919
Her cooking show is a good example, like it highlights

302
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:29.720
the communal aspect of food and how it can bring

303
00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:30.360
people together.

304
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.399
It's not just about the recipes, it's about the shared experience.

305
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.519
And her podcast is likely to explore similar themes, like

306
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.039
conversations that matter and issues that she's passionate about.

307
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.799
It's clear she's not afraid to use her voice to

308
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:45.120
advocate for change.

309
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:47.559
She's doing it all while staying true to herself, which

310
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:48.639
is really admirable.

311
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.320
It is, and it's also interesting to see how grounded

312
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:53.759
she seems despite her extraordinary life.

313
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:55.919
Yeah, like she's not letting fame or fortune go to

314
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:56.399
her head.

315
00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:59.879
She still comes across as very down to earth totally.

316
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.039
She talks about doing pilates with other moms and going

317
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:05.159
to yoga classes with like fifty people.

318
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:07.639
It's like she's trying to maintain a sense of normalcy.

319
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:10.240
It shows that she's not interested in living in a bubble.

320
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:12.240
It's a good reminder that we all need those human

321
00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:15.360
connections and those simple pleasures in life.

322
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:17.120
No matter who we are or what we do.

323
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:19.879
So, as we wrap up this part of our deep dive,

324
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:22.799
what are some of the key takeaways that we can.

325
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:23.480
All reflect on.

326
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:25.759
Well, I think one of the biggest ones is the

327
00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:30.080
importance of authenticity. Megan's not trying to be anyone but herself,

328
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:32.840
and that's what makes her so relatable and inspiring.

329
00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:36.279
She's not afraid to show her vulnerabilities, her passions, her

330
00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:37.919
commitment to making a difference.

331
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:40.240
And another takeaway is the power of community.

332
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:44.120
Yeah, she really emphasizes the importance of connection and belonging.

333
00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:47.960
And finally, I think her story is a reminder that

334
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.840
it's never too late to reinvent yourself and to pursue

335
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:51.559
your passions.

336
00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:54.759
She's constantly evolving and growing, and she's not afraid to

337
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:55.480
take risks.

338
00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:58.840
It's an inspiring message for anyone who's feeling stuck or

339
00:13:58.919 --> 00:13:59.960
unsure of their path.

340
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:02.360
So as we head into the final part of her

341
00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:06.039
deep dive, let's keep these takeaways in mind. How can

342
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:08.720
we apply these lessons to our own lives?

343
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.919
How can we embrace our own authenticity build stronger communities

344
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:17.519
and pursue our passions with the same kind of fearlessness

345
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:18.559
that Megan embodies.

346
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:21.279
You Know, it's interesting to think about how she's approaching

347
00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:24.720
social media this time around. Yeah, because she's obviously very

348
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:27.960
aware of the scrutiny and the potential pitfalls after her

349
00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:29.279
experiences with the tabloids.

350
00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:31.919
Right, she's been much more cautious and deliberate.

351
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:34.360
Like her decision not to film the cooking show at

352
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:34.799
her home.

353
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:36.799
Yeah, she's keeping that space private.

354
00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:39.639
She wants to protect that safe haven for her family,

355
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:41.039
which is understandable.

356
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:45.080
I think we can all relate to that need for boundaries.

357
00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:47.919
Especially in this day and age where everyone's sharing everything online.

358
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:49.879
It's a good reminder that it's okay to keep some

359
00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:50.559
things private.

360
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:54.200
Absolutely, but she's also finding ways to use social media.

361
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:55.799
On her own terms, like with her podcast.

362
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:58.080
Right, it's a way for her to connect with her

363
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.159
audience in a more authentic and meaningful way, and.

364
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:03.840
She has more control over the narrative exactly.

365
00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:07.759
She's not relying on the traditional media outlets to tell

366
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:08.519
our story.

367
00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:11.279
Which is really empowering, especially after all the negative press

368
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:12.399
she's received in the past.

369
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:14.320
It's like she's taking back her voice.

370
00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:15.600
Yeah, reclaiming her story.

371
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:19.000
So, as we wrap up this deep dive into Megan

372
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:22.559
Markle's world, what are some of the key takeaways that

373
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:24.200
we can all learn from her journey.

374
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:26.159
Well, I think one of the biggest ones is the

375
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:27.440
importance of resilience.

376
00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:30.720
Yeah, She's faced a lot of challenges, but she's never

377
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:31.320
given up.

378
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:34.720
She's a reminder that we all have the strength to

379
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:37.200
overcome adversity.

380
00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:39.200
And to create a life that's true to ourselves.

381
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:41.480
It might not always be easy.

382
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.519
Definitely not, but it's worth it.

383
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:45.720
And it's okay to take our time to figure things.

384
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:47.559
Out, to evolve, to change course.

385
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:49.080
There's no one right path.

386
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:51.399
It's about the journey, not the destination.

387
00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:54.320
Exactly, and it's about finding those things that bring us.

388
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:57.600
Joy, whether it's family or work, or creative.

389
00:15:57.159 --> 00:15:58.879
Pursuit or just being part of a community.

390
00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:02.120
Well said. So, as we conclude this episode, I want
