Ep 894 | How COVID 'Compassion' Killed Her Father | Guest: Allie Lundeen

Today, we’re joined by influencer and blogger Allie Lundeen, also known as Proverbs 31 Girl, to talk about her drive to make things beautiful and share some hard stories of loss. First, we talk about how everything can be made beautiful and how it doesn't necessarily take someone crafty to make a home feel comfortable and warm. We talk about what a "Proverbs 31 woman" actually is and why it's important to be resourceful. Then, Allie shares the story of her father getting sick with COVID, being denied certain potentially life-saving medications in the hospital, and being given a deadly medication instead that she believes ultimately led to his death. We discuss the darkness she felt in the hospital, seeing that COVID "precautions" were not about safety and empathy after all. We also talk about the death of her month-old baby girl and how to use hard stories to encourage others and remind ourselves that the testing of our faith is for our good. --- Timecodes: (01:00) Proverbs 31 Girl (04:10) Becoming a DIY person and making things beautiful (10:40) Balancing desire and contentment (13:38) Insecurity of being a Christian influencer / Instagram censoring (17:40) How does this generate income?
