Deconstruct To Curiocity

Brooklyn is a curious human-being in the midst of her deconstruction. Born and raised LDS, she left the church with a quick turn around and deep dive into Evangelical Christianity. Now, she has been released from any religious label and introduces herself as an Aries, enneagram 3, and sexuality advocate.

Some topics we covered:

What does it mean to be Mormon and what are some key principles to live by?

Do Mormons really believe they become god of their own universe when they die?

What exactly do Mormons believe in for the afterlife?

Is the Mormon religion different to each person or does everyone follow the same “rules”?

Is Mormonism a cult?

Why did you leave Mormonism?

Why did you join the evangelical church?

Why did you leave the evangelical church?

What does your spirituality look like now?

Lintu also has been involved & been a member of TST (The Satanic Temple)., AND she believes in God. Which, if you don’t know know much about TST- can sound ??? We’ve learned a lot throughout our friendship and she’s been so generous to say to yes to an interview to potentially answer some questions YOU may all have... @lintumarie

Getting creative during quarantine? Is creative burnout a thing? To truly be appreciated for raw, “unfiltered” content... do we first need to be polished and “filtered”? What about people who are just beginning their craft?

Allison Fallon is a a bestselling author and founder of Find Your Voice—a community that offers workshops, coaching, editing and support for anyone who wants to write a book (yes, even if you’re not a “real” writer). She has written and published 13 books and counting, coached hundreds of writers from total beginners to New York Times Bestselling authors, hosted workshops all over the country and world, and helped hundreds of thousands of people use writing as a tool for their own personal growth. The book we are personally most interested in is her book “Indestructible: Leveraging Your Broken Heart To Become A Force of Love & Change In The World”. Indestructible tells the shocking story of a marriage that didn’t go as planned, the truth that shattered everything, and the beautiful unfolding of a woman who decided that saving her marriage wasn’t worth losing herself. And that woman is Allison herself.
