This episode with Biden is one of the biggest drivers for me to gain and maintain fluency. You don't everyone to be dick, you just need one person who doesn't see you as good enough to change the outc...

Anyone who makes fun of Biden for this does this because they either don’t like him, or they are just trying to make him less of a person. But, this is not Biden’s first rodeo. He has been engaged in ...

I work in administration, communication and IT (in a subsection of the health ministry in our government). It's the ideal job for me, regardless of stuttering. Don't let your stutter dictate anythin...

I’m a Personal Trainer. Love it. I work with a wide range of clients and love every second of it. My stuttering didn’t play a huge role in my path per-say but it’s always used as a reason for why I lo...

I work on telephones and come accross a few males who have a stutter. I have yet to come accross a female that has a stutter. The male percentage im guessing is a little bit higher, no idea why. Cra...

It's not a strange question at all. When I use my tools in most situations, I am 100% in control - as in, any repetitions, pauses, prolongations etc are no more than those of a normal fluent speaker...

It’s hard though, because you only know if someone stutters if they let it out. I mean, how do i know the shy kid in my class isn’t someone who stutters? Also, since stuttering is so random, i may jus...

Sorry if this is a strange question, but are you able to be in control 100% of the time? As in, do you never stutter anymore? I’m asking because I myself am 90-95% better now compared to when I was y...

I’ve had a stutter all my life but only those close to me actually know about it. Most people don’t even realise I have it, even if they’ve known me for years. Granted it’s not a severe case by any me...
