The Duchess also revealed a tender moment about her son, Archie. He is about to lose his first tooth, and Meghan expressed hope that she could return home in time to witness it. That personal note added warmth to a discussion centered on professional fulfillment and creative direction.

She also addressed her recent Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, which debuted in March and offered a glimpse into her love of cooking, home design, and community. Though filmed near her Montecito home, the series wasn’t shot in her actual residence. “Eighty people in the kitchen isn’t really the childhood memory I would love for them to have,” she explained, referring to her desire to maintain a sense of normalcy for Archie and Lilibet.

The Duchess balances entrepreneurship with purpose and authenticity

Meghan Sussex has continued to build momentum in 2025, launching her lifestyle brand As ever in early April. The brand’s first product drop sold out within 45 minutes, exceeding expectations and drawing attention for its focus on intentional living. Meghan described the response as surprising and gratifying, a moment that affirmed the year of planning behind it.

She also recently debuted a podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, under Lemonada Media. The show launched with high-profile guests like Bumble’s Whitney Wolfe Herd, Girls Who Code founder Reshma Saujani and Kadi Lee, founder of Highbrow Hippie. While Meghan initially hoped to feature more celebrities, she shifted focus toward candid conversations with fellow founders and close friends. These episodes have provided space for honest storytelling and shared wisdom.

Speaking with People magazine, Meghan reflected on what the journey has taught her. “You’re just trying to figure out how to walk, then you want to learn how to run, and then you want to learn how to fly,” she said, describing the entrepreneurial learning curve.

As the 2025 TIME100 Summit came to a close, Meghan Sussex left behind more than a soundbite. She offered a full picture of a woman growing into her power, grounded in family, shaped by purpose, and open to what’s next.
