We don't supress, we submit

We don't supress, we submit

Author: Anchored Media Network August 21, 2025 Duration: 49:30

In this powerful conclusion to the Internal Harmony Series, Tatum shares what it's looked like to live in true peace while managing law school, motherhood, business, and ministry. Through personal testimony and Spirit-led insight, she unpacks the third psychological barrier to inner peace: emotional suppression.

Tatum explains how suppression—pushing down emotions like sadness, joy, fear, or anger—creates distance between us and the Holy Spirit, damages our bodies, and leads to emotional isolation. Drawing from biblical truth, she highlights how Jesus and David modeled emotional embodiment, reminding listeners that emotional honesty is not weakness—it’s worship.

This episode is a call to stop striving and start surrendering. You’ll walk away with biblical study tools, a mantra (“We don’t suppress, we submit”), and simple, life-changing practices that foster rhythm, not routine.

Inside this episode:

  • The difference between disembodiment and suppression
  • How suppression affects your business and leadership
  • Real-life strategies for walking in internal harmony
  • Biblical case studies from Psalms + the life of Jesus
  • Encouragement for Black women & high-achieving Christian entrepreneurs


Scripture focus includes John 11:35, Luke 22:44, Psalm 6, Psalm 51, and more.
