Motivational speaking as a *stutterer* I only put the word stutterer in quotations - as I myself am not a stutterer to a certain extent. I trip and stumble on words alot and even when trying to slow down speaking half the time, everything I say comes out sounding drunk alot which I struggle with. I am and can be very talkative in discussions that interest me though so you can probably understand my part time struggle. My point is, I truly think I've found my lane with what career I would like to do when I'm older. I've been lost with deciding what I want to do as a job for a few years now and I really think this could be a better reality for me in the long run for being a motivational speaker and / or advocate for my future passions in life as I really think it could be a door to alot more opportunies. Any suggestions to help me - or anyone that knows any motivational speakers who have, and or, stutter currently or in the past would really be appreciated as I'm really considering this job as the route I want to take when I'm older
