Meghan Markle speaks with the co-founder of IT Cosmetics Jamie Kern Lima in a brand-new episode of her podcast Confessions of a Female Founder, and shares business advice she received from “mentor and friend” Oprah Winfrey.

Oprah Winfrey, Meghan Markle’s “mentor and friend,” gave her business advice as she was considering launching her lifestyle brand, according to Meghan Markle. The Duchess of Sussex revealed this in the most recent episode of Confessions of a Female Founder, in which she chats with Jamie Kern Lima, co-founder of IT Cosmetics.

Meghan describes how chat show host Oprah, who she gave a dazzling interview to in 2021, told her to “encapsulate your essence” when she was deciding whether to launch her brand As Ever, which has so far sold fruit spreads, honey, and tea, and how she plans to launch their business.

I just liked making jam at first, Meghan says. I merely enjoyed making preserves and jam. And it changed from the initials “OK, I’m gonna share this jam with a lot of friends and family” to “People really like it and bring me joy.” so that I can spread it more widely.

I was afraid of failing or losing my opinion at first, so I thought, “I’ll just do small batch jam from home.” And I had to take a step back and consider what I was doing, asking, “Am I playing small because I want to play small?” Or am I just playing small out of fear? “

And she continued, “Oprah, who I know as a mentor and friend to you, was the one who said, “There are tons of things you could put your name on. However, once you figure out how to encapsulate your essence, you’ll know’, depending on how you like to appear to others.

After creating products for people with rosacea and hyperpigmentation, Jamie, Meghan’s guest this week, established her business IT Cosmetics in 2008. She sold the company to L’Oreal under a billion-dollar deal, but she claims to have been turned down for “three years straight” because of her unsuccessful attempts to sell her goods in stores.

Meghan also reveals how, due to her freckles, she was told not to audition for beauty roles when she was an actress. When I was an actor auditioning for commercials, Meghan says, “That would have been.” And I can recall that my commercial agent refused to work with me because of my freckles in the beauty and skincare ads.

She praised Jamie for using skin-to-nes and women of all ages as her models, adding, “That was such new thinking then. That was so unheard of when you brought it to market. It might now seem more typical. Meghan and her husband have a new “honeymoon” feeling since they have “a little breathing space” after returning from their royal duties, according to the new podcast, which was released the day after Meghan made her appearance on Jamie’s show.

Meghan claimed that the couple struggled to fully enjoy one another’s company at the beginning of their relationship because the media quickly focused on them in “the trenches.” Harry and the King and the Prince of Wales had strained relations before the pair started dating in 2016 and got married in 2018. They initially took on royal duties before deciding to step down in their current roles in 2020.

She said, “You have to imagine that everyone has, say, butterflies at first. Then, together, we immediately entered the trenches. Yes, almost immediately after six months of dating. So now, seven years later, when you have a little bit of breathing room, you can just enjoy each other in a completely new way, which is why I think it’s more of a honeymoon for us now. The duchess praised her husband’s “safety” while praising the family.

Meghan revealed that she emails her children Archie and Lilibet to secret email addresses she has set up for them to read as they get older, and that she also became emotional when she mentioned Archie and Lilibet.

“At night before going to bed, I email them, “Here’s your report card from today,” or, oh my gosh, wasn’t that the funniest thing this morning? Or you two are seen having breakfast in this picture, or playing. The things you won’t be able to frame, the things you won’t be able to put pen to paper in a journal, but which they will eventually see at some point in their lives, perhaps when they’re 16 or 18?

Here’s an email I’ve been keeping for you, I’ll say. I wanted to tell you how much I love you and how proud I am of you in every way that comes to mind.

A former EastEnders star has given birth to a child. Amar Adatia, a famous actor who appeared in Jags Panesar on the BBC One soap opera, announced on social media that he and his wife have welcomed a second child. He and his wife welcomed their first child in December of this year, but he has rarely provided fans with information about his private life.

He and his wife were expecting, but he and his wife did not make the announcement until Monday night when he shared a picture of their son, who was wearing a sweet baby grow. He continued, “Welcome to the world Arella Adatia,” with “Full Heart.”

After confirming the news, the actor received numerous congratulations messages. Big Brother celebrity Jess Impiazzi yelled out, “Congrats you guys,” along with five red heart emojis. Along with a white heart, Rukku Nahar’s EastEnders co-star, who played Habiba Ahmed, added: “Congratulations.”

Congratulations to you all, one fan gushed. I’m hoping for good health for Mummy. We all have a lot of love to share. “Welcome to the world, precious little one,” added a second. While a third drew the phrase “Such a lovely name, congratulations.”

Amar, 39, was a guest on the BBC programme between October 2019 and October 2020 when his mother Suki sent him to prison. Despite the fact that her other son Vinny was the victim of the attack, she had framed Jags for assaulting Martin Fowler.

Suki claimed that Jags was wearing his bloodied jeans the day Martin was assaulted, and that she was angry with him because of his relationship with Habiba.

Fans raged that Suki could betray her son in such a way after he was eventually carted off in a police car and imprisoned. However, it was later revealed that Jags had passed away in prison, leaving the Panesar family heartbroken.

Amar has only played two roles since leaving the soap, including Jack 2 in Override and a football supporter in The Devil Went Down To Islington, and he has kept a relatively low profile. However, he previously acknowledged that his work had been slowed by the coronavirus pandemic.

Amar previously stated to Digital Spy that he had held back on making his newest film because it was difficult to promote it while filming simultaneously and because the pandemic had caused the timing to be pushed back.

He stated when he left EastEnders that he had always known that he would only be a part of the show for a certain amount of time. I had just finished shooting a movie and had made commitments to promote it, but the pandemic struck and it was understandably put off.

He has appeared in films like Doctors, Day of the Falcon, Four Hours, The Tower, and the short film UK Residents Only, aside from EastEnders.

Shane Warne’s son Jackson revealed his flight to India was forced to make an emergency landing after one of the passengers died. Jackson, his partner Kiah and a few friends were on an Air India flight from Singapore when a passenger three rows behind him died, resulting in the emergency situation.

He described his flight to India as “we managed to get on an Air India flight that night.” However, on the way there, a situation occurred that I’ve never experienced on a flight before ever. You’ve heard about it, and someone had a heart attack three rows back of us, who had not been confirmed to have had a heart attack, but they continued to perform CPR for more than an hour.

“We traveled to (our destination in) India after arriving at emergency land in Calcutta and staying there for about 2-3 hours. “His friend, Gabriel Chenkov-Shaw, shared details of the horrifying situation on his own page.

Gabriele explained in a video that “I don’t know if this is the strangest and saddest thing to happen while catching a flight.” At about 2 a.m., I’m tapped on the shoulder to report that someone who is literally dead three rows behind me.

“I was just awakened and thought, “What the f**k? ” Before, I’ve never been on the same plane as someone who was passing or in close proximity to death.

The plane was “out of a movie,” the airliner declared in utter hysterics. They begin to inquire about the doctors on the plane who made an emergency landing in an unfamiliar location in India…

He continued, “They have no (in-flight) entertainment whatsover; my phone was flat, so I was just staring at the next person’s seat straight for 16 hours.”

Shane’s son is traveling to India to see the Rajasthan Royal, which his late father helped win the 2008 IPL title with.

As soon as Jackson and his friends shared photos of themselves wearing Rajasthan Royal shirts, it appeared as though they were on their way to making sense of their plans.

He died of a heart attack in 2022, at the age of just 52. While cricket was the sport in which he enjoyed a fruitful career for Australia, the leg spinner was also a keen golfer.

With 7808 dismissals, Shane Warne now holds the record for the most test wickets in history, just behind Muttiah Muralitharan in Sri Lanka.

After he passed away on the Thai island of Koh Samui, he was a multiple Ashes champion and 1999 World Cup champion with his country.
