As an author, avid reader, and fan of paper planners, I was excited to interview fellow author, avid reader, and fan of paper planners, Bethany Jett, who has an allergy to paper. Oh, the irony!

 While writing her book, Platinum Faith, with co-author, Michelle Medlock Adams, Bethany suffered with extreme dryness in her hands. Unbeknownst to her, her affinity for paper, reading books, paper planners, and stickers for her planner were causing her skin to break out. Finally, a doctor diagnosed her with colonophy, an allergy to rosin, which is found in paper products and most plastic products.

Before and after her diagnosis, her social media posts were hilarious as she took a light-hearted, humorous approach to the zigzags (struggles) she faced.

Bethany discussed her book, Platinum Faith, on this episode.

In the book, she and co-author, Michelle Medlock Adams, describe twelve properties of platinum, show how those properties are also characteristics of a strong faith, and point out Biblical characters who demonstrate those properties.
 
 The twelve properties of Platinum that describe a strong faith:
 1. All-In
 2. Useful
 3. Can Withstand the Heat
 4. Precious
 5. Rare
 6. Shines Brightly
 7. Created to Bond
 8. Malleable
 9. Resists Corrosion
 10.  Its Presence Is Weighty
 11. Has Worth
 12. Responds Instead of Reacts
