Meghan Markle has released a very emotional health update after receiving a challenging diagnosis.
The first episode of the Duchess of Sussex’s new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, revealed a critical, potentially fatal problem.
After 12 episodes of her previous series, Archetypes, were released on Spotify prior to its discontinuation, this is her first podcast appearance.
Meghan just declared a “professional split” from Prince Harry, and this new podcast is one of her many separate endeavors.
Under the new moniker As Ever, she also relaunched her lifestyle business, which was earlier known as American Riviera Orchard. The nine goods in the relaunch line—which included teas, jams, honey, crepe mix, and edible flower sprinkles—sold out in an hour.
In contrast, despite eliciting conflicting responses on the internet, her Netflix series With Love, Meghan has been renewed for a second season.
In the first episode of her new podcast, Meghan had an open discussion about the difficulties of parenthood and entrepreneurship with Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder of Bumble. Meghan shocked the audience during this show by disclosing a personal health issue.
“We both had very similar experiences – though we didn’t know each other at the time,” the duchess told Herd.
The strain of being in the spotlight while dealing with a health issue was the next topic Markle discussed.
“What goes on in silence is unknown to the world,” she remarked. “You’re still making an effort to be present for people in the quiet, primarily for your kids, but those are serious health issues.”
Herd has battled postpartum preeclampsia, as has the 43-year-old.
The originator of Bumble referred to the unusual illness as “life or death” when it manifests as high blood pressure and an excess of protein in the urine shortly after labor.
Prompt therapy is necessary for postpartum preeclampsia. According to the Mayo Clinic, seizures and other severe consequences might result from postpartum preeclampsia if treatment is not received.
Herd continued by remembering the first time she saw Markle following the birth of her first child, Archie.
“I will always remember the picture of you after you gave birth to Archie, and everyone was anticipating his arrival,” the radio guest remarked.
“I was thinking, ‘Oh my God, how is this woman doing this?'” I was either approaching or already becoming a new mother.
“How is this lady putting on heels and going to the world to debut a child in this, you know, gorgeous outfit?” I was barely able to handle a takeout meal delivery in a robe via doorbell.
