Congratulations on being transparent and getting that weight lifted from your shoulders! Telling people you stutter is what SLPs call "advertising". It really helps because most people have no idea what is going on when people stutter. It only affects 1% of the population so it's not like "normies" hear it every day. The more you can teach them about it, the better! A great time for advertising is October during stuttering awareness month. I usually send out an article about stuttering to my co-workers during this time.
