Yes, but I don’t make it change the way how I am or determine my goals in life. And the less I care about it (knock on wood) I’ve been more fluent. So for me its overcoming the mental battle and telli...

No, never ever let your stutter win. My stutter is however mild (but frustrating nonetheless), but the best way to beat your stutter is to carry on regardless....

This was huge for me. At some point I was just…sick of being angry about stuttering. I’ve had it my entire life and it wasn’t going anywhere and I was just tired of letting it upset me. So I just said...

Not so much that - more that u put so much on ur plate (from exercise to work to meditation to reading etc) that u can realize it can be tamed better. Have u ever heard of Steve Harvey when he said ‘s...
