Went live at 3:58 in the morning because sleep was not happening and I had an article sitting in drafts that I wanted to finish. Ended up hanging out for almost half an hour with people from Sri Lanka, India, Michigan, and North Carolina while I put the last touches on it and hit publish right there on screen. Body doubling at 4am with strangers across the planet. That is a normal night now. If yo...

52 people stayed for an hour on a Monday night with no agenda. That tells me everything I need to know. Tonight was the first body doubling session I’ve ever done on here. I didn’t know what to expect. I showed up, I was working on something, and I just opened the door. People came in, they got stuff done, they asked questions, we talked. That was it. No structure, no presentation, no performance....

I went live on a Sunday with no script and no topic. Just an open room and whoever wanted to sit in it. 40 people showed up, and we talked for 45 minutes about the stuff most people only think about at two in the morning and never say out loud. People dialed in from San Antonio, San Diego, Miami, Louisiana, Costa Rica, West Africa, and right here in Detroit. Some of them said straight out that the...

Launching “The Rant”: A New Comedy Podcast and the Power of VulnerabilityThe host shares that this episode of the Kill the Silence podcast is also being posted for subscribers who may miss emailed articles, and announces a new, free comedy podcast called The Rant, described as an unstructured comedy exercise built around ranting to develop material for stage. He reflects on stepping away from perf...

You Didn’t Know It Had a Name Nobody sat you down and explained what was happening. There was no moment where someone said your parent was emotionally unavailable and here is what that means and here is what it will cost you later. You just grew up in a house where something felt permanently off and spent the rest of your life trying to figure out what that something was. This is what it cost you....

You didn’t do anything wrong. You know that. Somewhere underneath all the second-guessing and the stomach-dropping anxiety, you know it. And yet there you are — apologizing. Again. For existing. For reacting. For taking up space. This isn’t weakness. It isn’t stupidity. It is one of the most sophisticated survival adaptations the human brain can produce. And someone taught it to you on purpose. He...

Something is wrong. You feel it. I feel it. Everyone feels it. But nobody’s saying it out loud because we’re all too busy pretending we’re okay while the whole country quietly falls apart. 75% of Americans say they’re more stressed than ever about the future. Not “somewhat concerned.” Not “a little worried.” More stressed than ever. Three out of four people you pass on the street are terrified abo...

In this episode, I talk about a wild week in Detroit, ADHD chaos, and the ongoing fight against the therapist who extorted me. It’s raw, honest, and a reminder that even when life’s on fire, you can still stay functional—and find a way to laugh through it. —Cody Taymore Kill The Silence Get full access to Kill The Silence at killthesilenceofficial.substack.com/subscribe

I’m back. Been traveling, eating steaks in Pittsburgh, and apparently walking straight into fever dreams—like the guy who asked me to help him “get Nicole out of the sewer.” (You can’t make this shit up.) But this episode isn’t just about that. It’s about what happens when life gets insane, when your therapist turns out to be the abuser, and when you decide you’re not gonna let the people who brok...

Strong people are the best liars you’ll ever meet. Not to others — to themselves. We turn survival patterns into an identity. We perfect the mask until it feels like skin. And then we believe the very lies that keep us stuck. Here are the five that will destroy you if you don’t catch them in time. 1. “I’m Fine.” Translation: “I’m barely holding it together, but I can pass inspection.” I’ve said “I...

In this episode of Kill The Silence , I talk about two things I can’t stand — canker sores and people who run to the comments to poke holes in a survivor’s story. I’ve been revisiting and tightening the story of my former therapist — how she used five years of trust, my ADHD diagnosis, and the worst year of my life to control me and take $126,000. She’s still practicing in Michigan. I’ve filed com...

I was raised in fear. Fear of hell. Fear of being wrong. Fear of people who thought, lived, or loved differently than I did. And like most kids, I didn’t question it. I swallowed the poison and called it truth. But at some point, life handed me a choice: keep pretending I believed it all or start asking the questions I was taught not to ask. This episode is about that choice. The unlearning. The d...
