The Martha Stewart documentary on Netflix reminded me that in Christ, I don’t need to be perfect

‘For women, the pressure to ‘have it all’ – and do it perfectly – is as pernicious as it was when Martha was touting her own brand of the liberated woman,’ says Lucy Jeremiah.

I recently watched the new Netflix documentary about Martha Stewart. It’s an almost irresistible tale of triumph against adversity, a fall from grace, and a surprising comeback.

Martha Stewart, a name synonymous across America with floral drapes and hors d’oeuvres, was at the top of her game until an insider trading scandal found her in federal prison. It’s an astonishing story, more akin to a Hollywood movie script than someone’s actual life.
