This sounds like something I would have found really challenging a few years ago. What really helped for me is just admitting it, right off the bat, that I have a bit of a stammer. Boom, sets expect...

I stutter the most around people that I have openly stuttered with before. Whether it is because I don’t have the energy to employ my tradecraft to become the “unstuttering” me with those who already...

The truth - for me, at least - is that stuttering is not what holds me back. I'm very shy and quiet and I used to attribute that to the stuttering/blocking, but I know the former came before the latte...
