"As one gets older, imperfection is something we can deal with" and with that line where she waxes philosophic, ends the Netflix documentary on Martha Stewart. Enigmatic, exacting and demanding, she created an empire which then collapsed after being accused and ultimately convicted of insider trading. This film focuses both on her humble origins and the way she ran things in her own inimitable style which not everyone liked.
The takeaway here for me is how the way we are parented leaves significant and indelible imprint on who we are. We can embrace it or exorcise it but no matter which option is taken, there is no way to perfectly cleanse the palette of how our lives are forced to begin.
If you didn't like her before, this documentary may not change your mind only that it will help you understand her a bit better. It will also show you that no amount of money or wealth changes those common human traits we all share.
