If you’ve been carrying more than you speak, smiling through the heaviness, or tucking down parts of yourself just to keep the peace… this episode is the reminder your soul has been waiting for.

On this powerful episode, Joshua Lenox invites us into a deep conversation about suppression, expression, and emotional freedom—all wrapped in his signature warmth, humor, and straight-from-the-heart encouragement.

✨ Inside this episode:

• Why life feels like it’s moving at lightning speed… and how to stay grounded as the holidays approach.

• The truth about “resistance” and why challenges are often invitations to grow stronger.

• The real meaning behind the Inspiration Station: YOU—your voice, your story, your impact.

• Suppression vs. expression:

  • How pushing things down leads to burnout, depression, emotional shutdown, and silent suffering.

  • How childhood experiences—being told to “be a man” or “stop crying”—shape our adult emotional patterns.

  • Why many people lose their voice after years of being ignored, dismissed, or met with hostility.

• The vacuum metaphor you’ll never forget: keep taking in more without emptying out, and eventually… something bursts.

• The powerful comparison to The Color Purple’s Celie—how years of swallowing pain eventually erupt into reclaiming one’s voice.

• Signs you might be imploding internally: fatigue, tension, stomach issues, sleeplessness, anxiety, chronic stress, irritability.

• How suppression in childhood often creates adults who become the caretakers, the problem-solvers, the “strong ones”… but silently hurting inside.

• The ways unspoken pain shows up in relationships, habits, addictions, anger, inconsistency, or emotional withdrawal.

• A loving but challenging question: What are you suppressing that you need to express?

✨ Joshua reminds us:

• “If you have a pulse, God still has a plan.”

• “Don’t suppress what you need to express.”

• “Big girls DO cry. Little boys DON’T have to be men.”

• “You’re not meant to suffer in silence.”

• “It’s time to turn your volume back up.”

He also drops a little joy into the mix—holiday excitement, his love for cooking Thanksgiving meals, and his gratitude for every viewer and listener supporting the show across platforms.
