In the latest episode of her dedicated to women in business podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder with Meghan, Meghan Markle confessed that as an entrepreneur, she is not at all afraid to embrace the mess. "It can get messy, and the best founders are not afraid to get their hands dirty," Markle told her episode guest Heather Hasson, the co-founder of medical scrubs brand, Figs, discussing the real picture behind running a business.

Speaking about her approach to challenging work situations, she clarified that she does not believe in playing dirty.

Calling attention to her perspective of making everyday challenges easy, she said, “How do you get your hands involved and change the way of thinking surrounding it so it doesn't feel daunting?" But this is just one aspect of her life, with the other one running all the time on the clock as a hands-on mother of two.
