Show Notes

Todd and Bettijo Bridges welcome inspiring guest Jennifer Stirling-Campbell—host of The Overcome Depression Podcast and workbook series. Jennifer opens up about her lifelong battle with chronic depression and anger, beginning in childhood, and the profound spiritual awakening that led to her 15-year path to healing.

She shares how breaking free from deep-rooted ancestral baggage—and receiving divine guidance, often from unexpected sources—gave her “a flashlight and a map” out of the darkness. After a decade on Prozac, Jennifer made a fierce choice to surrender her struggle to God, which sparked immediate change, starting with the surprising brain-boosting power of Omega-3s.

The conversation digs into layers of healing, from physical health and supplements to spiritual warfare—where “angels and demons” are very real. Jennifer and Todd swap stories of spiritual attacks and discuss boredom as a red flag for deeper battles.

Jennifer challenges mainstream depression narratives, advocates for brain scans before meds, and shares tools like “redoing” past trauma to rewire the brain. Her mission? To help others find their own path to healing—with intuition, choice, and divine help.The episode wraps with Todd’s ToddFlix, connecting the hidden truths of Blindspot to Jennifer’s journey of self-discovery and lasting joy.
