Tourette Syndrome and the Cost of Suppression – with Joy Martin

Send us Fan Mail

In this powerful episode, Josh is joined by Joy Martin to explore life, faith, embodiment, and community through the lens of Tourette Syndrome. Together, they name the visible and invisible realities of TS, from daily resilience to misunderstood tics, from spiritual reframing to hard-won grace. They explore the tension between suppression and authenticity, wrestle with the idea of self-control, and reflect on what consideration can look like in faith communities. If you’ve ever felt like you had to hide parts of yourself to belong, this conversation is for you.
