Meghan Talked About The Pressure Behind Building A Brand That Lasts

While excited about her success, Meghan made it clear that launching a lifestyle brand is not just about pretty packaging and hype. In a podcast conversation with Tina Knowles, she shared the harsh realities behind her brand and why she paused production to get things right before restocking.

In a surprising twist, Meghan shared in April on her popular podcast "Confessions of a Female Founder" that fear had almost prevented her from building the lifestyle brand she truly wanted, until a conversation with Oprah helped her change course.

The 43-year-old opened up about her mindset during the early stages of developing As Ever. "I thought, 'I'll just do small batch jam from home,'" she admitted. That hesitation led her to question whether she was intentionally limiting herself or simply scared to try something bigger.

It was Oprah, "a longtime friend and mentor," who gave her the clarity she needed. Meghan recalled the TV host telling her, "There are tons of things you could put your name on.' But for you and how you like to show up for people, once you figure out how to encapsulate your essence, then you'll know.'"
