I'm sorry about your fall out. The truth is your sister doesn't know anything about stuttering and jumping to learn and work on a bunch of techniques likely isn't going to help. It'll more likely make...

Don’t let your stutter stop you from doing what you would like to do, I know it’s easier said than done but it’s basically letting your stutter win. If you push yourself to do things that make you unc...

My biased opinion, you’re going to do great. It will be a little nerve-wracking at first but you’ll find your confidence and skills naturally improving over time. It’s really important, albeit stressf...
