Prayer is powerful; with actions, it can be unstoppable. Today’s guest is Bridgette Bell, a 16-year army soldier, West Point Graduate, and an accomplished human resources leader with a mission to create an impact. She is currently serving as a doctoral intern in The Georgia Department of Behavioral Health as a clinical psychologist and one of the essential leaders of the Do More Together Organization representing black alumni with a targeted but inclusive message. I can’t wait to get into Bridgette’s inspiring story about how she’s learned to incorporate therapy and religion, to create change and speak to people’s trauma.
