Good morning! New York Gov. Kathy Hochul will talk with Trump, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex has a new podcast, and Amy Griffin found the power in vulnerability. Have a restful weekend.

- Telling her story. About five years ago, Amy Griffin started remembering. Through a combination of journaling and MDMA therapy, a long-buried trauma—repressed memories of childhood sexual assault—finally came to the surface. It's a story that Griffin shares in her new book The Tell, which was just named the latest Oprah's Book Club pick.

In the memoir, Griffin recalls the picture-perfect version of her life growing up in Texas, before shattering that image with these memories—then retreading that narrative and reevaluating everything. During the time period that Griffin recounts experiencing an endless onslaught of memories, she was only a few years into running her firm, G9 Ventures. G9 has backed female-founded brands like Bumble, Saie, Bobbie, and Midi.
