How To Decode Your Mental Chatter

Ever feel like your mind is full of chatter? Second-guessing, over-complication, and self-doubt? You’re not alone. In this first episode of Hidden Parts, we dive into why your mental chatter gets so loud—especially when you’re on the brink of something new—and how to decode it. I’ll share why your brain is wired this way, introduce you to "parts work" (a game-changing tool for making sense of inner conflict), and give you practical ways to start moving through the noise. Tune in to learn how to stop battling your own mind and start making aligned, courageous choices. Notes: This podcast is intended for educational and informational purposes only.

In Session With Cody: Hidden Parts and Creative Work

In the last episode, you learned about why your mental chatter shows up. But what does it actually sound like when someone sits down and starts sorting through the noise in real-time? In this episode, I’m joined by writer and artist Cody Cook-Parrott to do exactly that. In our real coaching session, Cody’s in the thick of editing their sixth book—procrastinating hard, missing deadlines, and feeling completely overwhelmed. But as we peel back the layers, it’s not just about edits. It’s about their inner parts trying to protect them: the tantruming toddler, the stressed-out assistant, and the wise elder all trying to take the lead. Together, we map what it looks like to move from gridlock to grounded action. You’ll hear: * How Cody learned to reassign roles to their inner voices * Why the editing work triggered a deep internal freeze * What shifted when they invited a more resourced part to take charge * Why play, compassion, and a little structure can change everything * And how building a relationship with your inner champion builds actual momentum This episode is a front-row seat to the kind of inner transformation that helps you do your most meaningful creative work—even when the world feels unsteady.
