Cody Rea
I’m a touring musician, producer, and lifelong creator who spent years trapped in overthinking, procrastination, and self-sabotage — until a few simple links between psychology, neuroscience, and long-ignored instinct changed how I work.
I’ve released 8 albums, produced for other artists, and helped hundreds of ambitious creators build real, sustainable momentum — without generic hustle guru BS.
This isn’t about productivity. It’s psychological resistance against inertia. Reclaiming vitality in a world choked by fear, doubt, shame, and noise.
How we translate chaos:
– The psychology & neuroscience behind creative momentum
– My own experiments with shame, consistency, and focus
– Why talented people stall (and how to stop)
– How to quiet overthinking & perfectionism
– Ways to work like an artist again — calm, consistent, alive
If you’re ambitious but stuck in your head — welcome.
