I’m a product owner with a covert stutter. So whilst I can mask it most times, it’s extremely exhausting and a double bad because I then think I’m being fake. I built up my identity a certain way but actually I’m kinda in the closet desperate to get out. It feels like a gift because I think it’s taught me how to be a better listener. I have more empathy for others. I also had to develop a personality or a sense of humour in some way I feel to deal with it. If I can conquer it or at least accept myself in spite of it, I can also achieve peace.
