Overcoming the Feeling of Inferiority (Stutter With Confidence podcast episode) Stutter With Confidence #68 with Lani Roy Overcoming the Feeling of Inferiority In this highly enjoyable conversation, Canadian stuttering advocate Lani and I discussed her experience as a child of first becoming aware of her stutter and her subsequent efforts to hide that part of her identity; Dr Courtney Byrd and her work to get to children before the shame and embarrassment set in so the kids are prepared to deal with the social and emotional challenges that will come later in childhood for those who do not outgrow their stutter; she describes how her deepest fear (that a teacher or professor would single her out and ask her to say her name in front of the class) came true in her third year of university and how that became the pivotal moment of her life; her journey of growing beyond her belief that being a person who stuttered made her inferior; using the challenge of being a person who stutters as an opportunity to build character; and a ton more. Happy listening. https://youtu.be/Yn9Nq8ABQ90
