In her first episode of the podcast, Markle also spoke about her own experience of dealing with negative comments for being an ambitious woman as she said, “Apparently ambition is a terrible, terrible thing, for a woman that is — according to some. So, since I’ve felt the negativity behind it, it’s really hard to un-feel it. I can’t unsee it, either, in the millions of girls and women who make themselves smaller — so much smaller — on a regular basis.”
