An article about building confidence as a person who stutters – hoping it helps someone here Hey everyone, I’m someone who stutters and has spent years working on both my speech and mindset. Over time, I’ve realized that confidence isn’t something you magically wake up with—it’s something you build, step by step, even while stuttering. I recently wrote a piece on Substack called *"How to Build Unshakable Confidence as a Person Who Stutters."* It’s a mix of personal experience, mindset shifts, and actionable tips that have helped me go from avoiding conversations to actually *embracing* them. If you’ve ever struggled with self-worth, shame, or fear around your stutter, this might resonate with you. I’d love to hear your thoughts or personal experiences too. Here’s the article: [https://stutterconnect.substack.com/p/how-to-build-unshakable-confidence](https://stutterconnect.substack.com/p/how-to-build-unshakable-confidence) I’m sharing this in case it helps even one person feel a bit more empowered today. Stay strong and speak anyway
