Some trauma doesn’t resolve. It doesn’t make you stronger. It doesn’t teach you anything.

It just hurts.

This episode is for the survivors who are tired of turning their pain into performance—tired of pretending healing is always beautiful or redemptive. It’s for the ones who still flinch, still ache, still carry what they were told to bury.

You’re not broken because you haven’t “moved on.” You’re honest.

And that might be the most radical form of healing there is.

🎙 Read-Aloud: I’ve Said Things I Can’t Take Back

This is the read-aloud version of my latest essay.

It’s not a breakdown. It’s not an apology.It’s what happens when you stop pretending your silence made you strong.This one’s for anyone who’s said something they regret and still deserves to move forward.

If you’ve ever looked back and flinched at your own words—If you’ve ever hit send and felt it in your stomach—If you’ve ever said the wrong thing, in the wrong tone, at the worst possible time—

This isn’t judgment.It’s recognition.

Kill The Silence

This one’s about the things we say in survival mode—the words we wish we could unsay, the damage done in defense, and the shame that shows up afterward.

If you’ve ever lashed out in pain…If you’ve ever regretted what your mouth said before your brain caught up…If you’ve ever felt like your trauma spoke for you—

This is for you.

It’s not about excusing harm. It’s about owning it with honesty, repairing what you can, and forgiving the version of yourself that was just trying to survive.

Perfection isn’t the goal. Integrity is.

You don’t need closure from the person who hurt you.You don’t need their apology.You don’t need to make peace with the past.

This is a read-aloud of my article “You Don’t Need to Forgive to Move On” — for every survivor who was told they needed to let go in order to heal.

You didn’t let go.You endured.And that was enough.

— Cody Taymore

This episode is for every survivor who’s been told they need to forgive to heal.

You don’t.You don’t owe the people who hurt you softness, closure, or peace.You don’t need to humanize the ones who dehumanized you.You don’t have to fold your truth into something small enough to be polite.

Forgiveness isn't the finish line. Survival is.

This is about reclaiming your power—not through silence, but through truth.The moment you stopped blaming yourself, you already got free.

You’re not bitter. You’re just done bleeding for people who never said sorry.

— Cody Taymore | Kill The Silence

Healing isn’t about making yourself smaller to fit other people’s expectations. It’s not about becoming “easier” or more acceptable. You fought through hell to take your life back—not to beg for approval.

In this episode, Cody Taymore delivers a raw reminder that true healing is about reclaiming your voice, your strength, and your power. It’s about stepping fully into who you are, even if that means outgrowing the people who tried to keep you small.

If you're done apologizing for your growth and ready to own your strength, this one's for you.

In this episode:

Why real healing threatens manipulative people.

How your strength becomes their inconvenience.

The power of owning your story—no apologies.

Why becoming unstoppable is the ultimate rebellion.

You didn't survive everything you did just to make yourself smaller.You didn't heal to become sweeter, softer, easier to tolerate.You healed to become undeniable — and unstoppable.

In this episode, we break the fake narrative that healing means pacifying yourself for the comfort of the people who once benefited from your brokenness.

Real healing isn't about forgetting who hurt you.It's not about erasing your fire.It's about remembering exactly how dangerous you are when you finally stop apologizing for surviving.

If you're tired of being told that "moving on" means becoming easier to control — this one’s for you.

This episode is for the ones who were told healing meant being softer, quieter, more agreeable.

It’s not.

Real healing isn’t submission. It’s sovereignty.It’s not about becoming easier to tolerate—it’s about becoming impossible to control.

You didn’t survive to be sweet. You survived to be free.To remember your power. To reclaim your voice. To walk through the world unapologetically dangerous in the best way possible.

This isn’t about revenge. It’s about remembering who the hell you are.

I don’t know exactly what this publication is becoming.I just know it’s honest.

This episode is the truth behind Kill The Silence—the story of waking up in panic, shaking through each day, trying to recover from therapist abuse when there’s no playbook for how. It’s about survival without closure, healing without certainty, and writing without polish.

I’m not here to play victim. I’m here to make abusers feel ashamed and survivors feel powerful.

If you’ve ever felt broken, triggered, or completely alone—I’ve been there. And I’m still here. That’s why I’m telling the truth. Loudly. Unapologetically. Until every survivor remembers they never deserved what happened to them—and they never have to stay quiet again.
