The duchess went on, “I’ve been having candid conversations with amazing women who have turned dreams into realities, and scaled small ideas into massively successful businesses.”
“They’re opening up, sharing their tips, tricks (and tumbles), and letting me pick their brains as I build out my own business, As ever. It has been absolutely eye-opening, inspiring…and fun! (Because what’s the point if we can’t have some fun on this wild adventure?)” she added.

Meghan's latest podcast announcement comes about two years after she and Prince Harry parted ways with Spotify three years into a $20 million for their podcast, Archetypes.
In a joint statement issued at the time, the streaming services and Archetypes Audio announced that they had “mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together.” According to New York Post, the royal couple's podcast did not have enough content for a multi-million dollar paycheck.
