Meghan Markle has finally dropped her hotly anticipated podcast Archetypes on Spotify, which has already reigned in thousands of listeners.
In the series, the Duchess of Sussex will sit down with experts to have "uncensored conversations" to unveil and understand the stereotypes about women and how they play into and shape our culture today.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex partnered with Spotify in 2020 after sharing their love for podcasts – especially during the pandemic. They said Arch Ewell Audio was "committed to producing programming that uplifts and entertains audiences around the world; spotlights diverse perspectives and voices; and builds community through shared experience, narratives and values."
Until Tuesday's (23 August) release of Archetypes, it had only produced a single 2020 holiday special.
The pair sat down and spoke about the negativity surrounding ambition in women, with Markle saying she doesn't "remember ever personally feeling the negative connotation behind the word 'ambitious'" until she started dating her husband.
"And um, apparently ambition is, uh… a terrible, terrible thing, for a woman that is — according to some. So, since I've felt the negativity behind it, it's really hard to un-feel it," she said.
"I can't unseen it, either, in the millions of girls and women who make themselves smaller — so much smaller — on a regular basis."
