Don't quit! I also stutter and I took the same challenge and I have been working at a call center for the past 1 month, yes the most difficult part is the call opening but after that it's nothing....

The thing is quitting this job wouldn’t harm me financially but staying and the idea of waking up every morning and going to work in fear is dreadful to me. I usually manage my stutter well but I have...

Sorry to hear about the remark your dad made. My parents weren’t “accepting” of my stutter either and never made any effort to make me feel better about it or make me feel understood. I’m an adult now...

One great takeaway from Lee G Lovett's book on stuttering is to overwrite "stutter memories" with "fluent memories". It's simply, "Listen to yourself speaking fluently" --> "Feel confident that yo...

That’s the “good” part about jobs where you have to talk to a lot of people, I feel like the more people I talk to the more confident I get about talking. Going back to work after lockdown was a night...

I worked as a cashier for a bit, had plenty of customers laugh at and berate me when I tripped up on my script or couldn't get a certain word out. It actually helped me become less embarrassed about i...

Does anyone know someone in sales who stutters? I have wanted to get into sales, specifically as a real estate agent or some other kind of sales but I fear I won't be taken seriously. Sometimes with s...

People suck but you can radiate positivity! You have the ability to shine in the face of adversity. I stooped speech therapy a long time ago. I got sick and tired of trying to change myself. You are e...
