Told my coworkers :) It was awkward, not even gonna lie. But I feel a huge weight off of my chest. From their reaction, I’m 100% sure that they already knew, but the fact that I’m no longer feeling an...

If you get down on yourself going this route because you wished you did it in person then I would say yes. However, I personally don't think it matters email vs spoken as long as that's what you reall...

Stuttering is a disorder of anticipation. We can speak normally when alone. This is not a physical problem it is a psychological one. My advice is to voluntary stutter. We stutter as we are afraid. ...

I think you just nailed it. You’re focusing on it more so it seems as though it’s getting worse. You thinking about it is what’s making it happen again. I always said that if I expect to stutter, I’m ...

I had a bad stuttering problem as a child, all the way up into my teens. Went to speech therapist and of course it did absolutely nothing to help. My late teens I decided it was something I’d have to ...

Congrats! I'm sure it went well! I found that usually the one who's most bothered by my stuttering am I myself. Other people either don't notice it or they don't mind. I'm sure that's true for most of...

You shouldve recorded it with stutter, everyone has to know you are different. I used to do the same everytime I wanted to send a voice message to someone. We should not hide what we really are, thats...

Yes. The fear of exposing your stutter to others keeps you in a constant cycle of dread and anxiety; makes you avoid situations and ultimately lead to an inauthentic version of yourself....
