My name’s Cody Taymore. I’m a sales executive, former financial advisor, trauma survivor, recovering alcoholic, ADHD-brained, PTSD-wired, 5 years sober, and sometimes funny human trying to rebuild a life after manipulation, breakdown, and silence.

This publication is where I document that process — honestly, relentlessly, and without pretending I have it all figured out.

I write about:

-Trauma, emotional abuse, addiction, and recovery

-How to stay focused, ambitious, and sharp even when your world’s falling apart

-ADHD, PTSD, performance, and functioning while still healing

-Sales, money, productivity, and staying human in high-pressure environments

-Rebuilding after chaos — personally, professionally, and psychologically

I believe in telling the truth — especially when it’s uncomfortable, unpolished, or still in progress.

What you’ll get:

Essays on trauma, power, survival, and systems that fail people

Notes on how to stay focused, functional, and honest in the middle of it

Real talk about money, recovery, work, and what rebuilding actually looks like

And the occasional punch of humor — because I do stand-up, and pain’s never stopped me from cracking a joke

This is a space for the real ones — the ones who didn’t fold. The ones who feel too much and still write anyway.

If that’s you — welcome.

— Cody Taymore
