I want you to know this conversation is not intended to offer medical advice. Psychedelics remain illegal in most states, so I encourage you to consult your own healthcare professional before considering any kind of mental health treatment.
Hey, everybody! Guess who this is?
Amy Griffin! Did you see you Chicagoans? Say hello to Amy. Say hello to Amy. Say hello to Amy. Thank you, Chicago. I'm excited for you to be able to share this story with the world. Oprah, when you called, you were in the closet.
I was in the closet. I'd just gotten out of the bathtub. I was soaking wet.
Amy, this is Oprah calling you about the towel.
Oh, my God. I don't know that anyone ever expects that Oprah's going to call, but it was a beautifully, very validating moment, I will just say.
Well, I'm happy for that. All right, let us begin. You deserve to be validated. Let's begin. Hi, everybody. I'm so glad you joined us for Oprah's Book Club presented by Starbucks. So I'm in my old Chicago neighborhood at a Starbucks cafe. And for almost 30 years, I lived like three blocks up the street. And I'm in such good company here. Chicago is truly my kind of town.
And you readers are my kind of people. So welcome. Your neighborhood Starbucks store is, I believe, just the perfect place to gather with friends or discuss a good book and enjoy a delicious cup of coffee. And the pairing for our March book club pick is the anniversary blend, they're calling it. It's a seasonal, full-flavored coffee with notes of cedar-y spice and black truffle.
I love some truffle, honey. Me too. And you can pick up a bag of Anniversary Blend at your local Starbucks store. Okay, so here is my 112th book club pick. It is called The Tell. The Tell. A memoir by Amy Griffin. Amy Griffin is the founder of the investment firm G9 Ventures. She is a financial visionary supporting female founders of iconic brands like Goop, Bumble, Spanx, and Hello Sunshine.
