Meghan Markle Opens Up About Fear of Failure and Renewed Connection with Husband

In the latest episode of her podcast, "Confessions of a Female Founder," Meghan Markle discussed her biggest fear. The Duchess of Sussex hosted her friend Jamie Kern Lima, co-founder of It Cosmetics and the first female CEO of L'Oreal. The two women explored the challenges of starting a business, with Lima sharing her experiences launching her successful brand.

During the conversation, Meghan reflected on her initial feelings when developing her own lifestyle brand, As Ever. She shared that her initial focus was simply on creating and sharing jam with friends and family. As the positive reception grew, she considered expanding her reach.

However, Meghan admitted to experiencing significant fear of failure and judgment. This fear, she revealed, initially caused her to limit her ambitions. She considered obtaining a small-scale cottage license, but ultimately realized she was holding herself back due to her anxieties.

The episode followed a previous conversation between the two women. Meghan also mentioned experiencing a renewed sense of connection with her husband, attributing it to the increased privacy they gained after stepping back from their royal duties. She noted that the intense media scrutiny had made it difficult for them to fully enjoy their relationship in its early stages.
