Martha Stewart and the Art of Reinvention.

I started watching the new Martha Stewart documentary “Martha” wondering if there would be anything new for me to learn. I came away being inspired by her genius to keep reinventing herself, even after she went to jail and lost everything. I always love stories of successful life transitions and this is really the ultimate. I titled this Martha Stewart and the Art of Reinvention because she grew up poor and became the first female self made billionaire. She went from being a stockbroker to creating an empire based on making the everyday an artform to the first female billionaire to being in prison to being in business with Snoop Dogg. Should you measure yourself against her, no she is an incredibly privileged woman with many resources but still…there is hope in seeing someone go from so high to so low and finding their way through.

One other note. I love that Martha owns her bitchiness and doesn’t try to pretend it doesn’t exist. She rightly points out that she was doing what it takes to create a billion-dollar empire. If she were a man, it never would have been an issue.
