HELPLESS is how stuttering has always felt to me. And HUMILIATING. BUT - we have to push through, to survive. You must keep going, keep showing up. Today, at work, on Zoom call with clients, I had 4 lines to give. Just 4 sentences. Totally bombed and got all blocked and choppy. Oh well, what am I going to do, quit? Go into a hole? No one is coming to save any one of us. We have to make it, by any means necessary. You’ve got this!!
