The Duchess of Sussex, 43, talked with Saujani, who is the founder of Girls Who Code, about her political career.
She ran as a Democratic candidate for Public Advocate in 2013 coming third in the primary.
Saujani explained: “I think we think as women that when we try something, especially something that we want so bad, and it doesn’t work out that it will break us.
“And we won’t be able to wake up the next day. We won’t be able to continue on.
“I think there is a sense that failure will cripple you.”
Meghan interjected: “Right that it will break you as oppose to break you open for the possibility of more.
“When it breaks open it leaves space and growth for so much more love, growth and resilience to pour in.”
Saujani also talked about stepping away from her non-profit organisation.
Meghan explained: “That is a lot of growth. That takes people a tremendous amount of time to settle into being able to do that and to not feel rattled when the phone’s not ringing, to not feel rattled when you’ve stepped out the light so to speak.
“But as you step out of the light you’re actually stepping into your own light in a different way and creating space for someone else to be in the light, which is probably the larger purpose of all of us being here.”
She also touched upon how they both experienced miscarriages.
Episode one, which aired on April 8, was an interview with Whitney Wolfe Herde, who is the founder of Bumble and co-founder of Tinder.
But the episode failed to impress, with critics saying it offered “no substance”.
The Mail revealed how it only reached the top 19 on Spotify’s US charts.
The new series follows Meghan’s £18million podcast payout for Archetypes.
Spotify’s chief previously called her and Harry “f***ing grifters” for only producing 31 episodes.
