Summary

All parents need to know one thing, says Esther Wojcicki: “There is no perfect parenting.” Wojcicki is the author of How to Raise Successful People, a legendary journalism teacher, and founder of the renowned Media Arts programs at Palo Alto High School. She’s also the mother of three famously successful women. And today, she’s sharing her formula for raising, mentoring, and developing people to reach their highest potential. It starts with her acronym TRICK: trust, respect, independence, collaboration, and kindness. If you’re a parent, it involves giving yourself a break and finding ways to empower your children to be independent thinkers. And for many more of us (parents or not), it means rethinking our assumptions of what it takes to be happy, to be impactful, to be successful in the world. (For more, see The goop Podcast hub.)

the diamond earring, ring, or bracelet that makes the piece all the more important to us.

For different newsletter stories, the Goop editors have interviewed women about the first

0:38.2

natural diamond they ever bought themselves, or the most special one.

0:42.4

Sometimes these self-gifts were a long time coming, and others happened seemingly on a

0:46.4

whim.

0:47.4

But they all ended up marking a special moment in time to celebrate.

0:51.1

Why are we drawn to natural diamonds in this way?

0:53.6

I think part of it is that they come from the earth, their rare and finite, and of course

0:57.6

beautiful, and as someone who leans toward minimalism, I think it's also because diamonds

are one of the few things that become more valuable to you the more you wear them, because

they're timeless.

Don't hold anything too tightly.

1:19.0

Just wish for it, want it, let it come from the intention of real truth for you, and

1:25.7

then let it go.
