Meghan Markle‘s return to the podcasting world kicked off with a deeply personal revelation, as the Duchess of Sussex shared that she experienced postpartum preeclampsia, an often-overlooked and dangerous condition that affects new mothers.
In the premiere episode of her new series “Archetypes Presents: Confessions of a Female Founder,” Meghan spoke with Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd about the rarely discussed health issue that both women experienced after childbirth.
“We both had very similar experiences – though we didn’t know each other at the time – with postpartum, and we both had preeclampsia. Postpartum preeclampsia,” Meghan revealed.
“It’s so rare and so scary. And you’re still trying to juggle all of these things, and the world doesn’t know what’s happening quietly.”
Wolfe Herd, who stepped down as CEO of Bumble earlier this year, added: “I mean life or death, truly.”
The condition, characterized by high blood pressure and potential organ damage, usually occurs within a few days of childbirth and can be fatal if left untreated.
While Meghan did not specify whether the issue followed the birth of Archie or Lilibet, her decision to speak out marked a significant moment of transparency around maternal health.
Motherhood and work-life balance
Beyond her medical scare, Meghan used the episode to reflect on what it means to be both a mother and a businesswoman, particularly with her new lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard in its early stages. She described how the structure of her life allows her to stay connected to her children while building a company.
“I don’t leave the house to go to an office; my office is here,” she said. “She [Lilibet] only has a half day in preschool. If she wakes up and wants to find me, she knows where to find me… She’ll be sitting there on my lap during one of these meetings… I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
Meghan also spoke about the emotional labor of raising children while trying to build something meaningful. “You’re building something while your child’s going through potty training… and both are just as important.”
Wolfe Herd noted that evolving technology has helped working mothers like them manage careers and parenting more fluidly. “Technology is a beautiful tool for parents because you can dial in and be present and do a great job on the call while you sit in the carpool line.”
Confessions of a Female Founder will feature eight episodes and is produced in partnership with Lemonada Media. It aims to spotlight stories of women balancing leadership, innovation, and family life in today’s demanding world.
Meghan‘s last podcast project, Archetypes, launched in 2022 through Spotify and was praised for its exploration of labels placed on women. Her latest venture signals a renewed focus on female empowerment and the intersection of personal and professional identity.
As Meghan put it, “They’re opening up, sharing their tips, tricks (and tumbles)… It has been absolutely eye-opening, inspiring… and fun!”

Mercedes konečně potvrdil své jezdce pro příští sezonu F1
O budoucnosti pilotů Mercedesu se ve velkém hovořilo především před letní přestávkou. Časté spekulace spojovaly s německým týmem úřadujícího mistra světa Maxe Verstappena z Red Bullu. Když ale Nizozemec oznámil, že i v příštím roce zůstane u rakouského výrobce energetických nápojů, bylo téměř jisté, že pozice Russella a Antonelliho jsou pro další sezonu pevné.Přesto vyjednávání o nové smlouvě trvala další dva a půl měsíce. Až před Velkou cenou USA v Austinu stáj na svých sociálních sítích potvrdila, že do první sezony s novými technickými pravidly vstoupí se stejnou jezdeckou dvojicí.„Potvrzení našich jezdců pro další rok byla vždycky otázka času. Ani na chvíli jsem nepochyboval, že oba smlouvu prodlouží. Dali jsme si jen načas, aby jednání proběhla správně a ke spokojenosti všech zúčastněných stran,“ radoval se šéf stáje Toto Wolff.„George a Kimi letos dokázali, že tvoří silnou jezdeckou dvojici, a proto mám velkou radost, že bude naše spolupráce pokračovat.

Christen Press felt like a ‘villain’. The ex-USWNT forward played long enough to become a hero
To watch Christen Press play soccer is to watch joy, bound only by the human form.Case in point, the goal she scored this May for Angel City FC, her first at home after recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear that took four surgeries and two years to overcome. Watch the way it took 24 seconds from the time she entered the field, the way she drives, cuts, and gets the ball to her left foot, even though she almost loses her footing.AdvertisementWatch the way it sails to the top corner, finding that 90-degree angle and slicing through it, past an outstretched glove until it sinks, blissfully, into netting in front of a sea of ecstatic faces. Watch the way she turns and begins to sprint, joy overriding her coordination, limbs everywhere, her face split open with exhilaration, a smile […]
NBA jerseys, Topps cards to feature Rookie Debut and Gold Logoman patches
Fanatics Collectibles CEO Mike Mahan likened the emotions of the long-anticipated return of NBA licensed cards into the Topps portfolio similarly to his bated breath right before turning 16 and receiving his driver’s license. It’s funny Mahan pointed to 16 since that’s about how many years Topps had been without the NBA license for trading cards … until now.AdvertisementFollowing a soft launch in China, Topps’ first mass produced licensed NBA cards will hit store shelves worldwide on Oct. 23 with the company’s 2025-26 Topps Basketball flagship set to be available wherever collectors typically purchase cards. In addition, Topps officially announced that players will be wearing Rookie Debut Patches and Gold NBA Logoman patches, which will be taken off of jerseys and put into one-of-a-kind trading cards in upcoming NBA products that will be revealed at a later date.

Liberec získal gólmana z Kladna, Hamalčík má po sezoně
