Summary

In this episode of The goop Podcast, Gwyneth sits down with one of her closest friends, Amy Griffin, to talk about her new book, The Tell—a deeply personal memoir about the power of sharing your story and what happens when we finally face the truths we’ve kept buried. They explore why telling is the simplest, yet hardest thing to do, how holding onto secrets keep us stuck, and what it means to turn inward after years of looking outward for answers. Amy shares how trauma shaped her identity and how embracing vulnerability as a form of strength allowed her to finally speak the hardest truths—and in doing so, find freedom. Amy’s story is a testament to the profound transformation that comes with owning your narrative, a reminder that healing begins the moment we stop carrying our pain alone. Her wisdom offers permission for anyone holding onto something unspoken to step out of the silence and into their own power.

0:32.5	until they change their energy. And when you change your energy, you change your life.

1:02.9	podcast. So today I'm sitting down with my dear friend Amy Griffin, really one of my closest,
1:09.9	closest friends. Amy is many things. She's an
1:14.4	unbelievable investor. She's an entrepreneur and a champion for women in business, the likes of which I
1:21.5	really have never seen. So Amy has built a powerhouse career backing some of the most innovative
1:27.4	companies and founders.
1:29.1	She's a true champion of women.
1:31.5	Just look at her Instagram and you'll know what I'm talking about.
1:35.6	Today is a little bit different for me because I could talk to Amy all day about her business acumen and the investments that she's made and what she
1:45.4	loves so much about female founders. But Amy has written a book, her first book, and it's called
