Two years ago I couldn’t say my own name because of blockage. Today, I host a podcast. Just 2 years ago, when I was asked what my name was, I could not successfully take it out even though I knew what I wanted to say. I dealt with a stutter since I was 7 years old. But something changed. Through daily practice, therapy, and pushing myself outside my comfort zone, I began to gain fluency. It wasn’t overnight and it wasn’t perfect but I kept going. And earlier this year, I launched a podcast called The Speech Collective, where I interview people who’ve faced speech challenges and share resources, stories, and hope for anyone going through the same. It’s surreal that I now speak freely on a platform that reaches others. If you’re someone who stutters, or you’ve ever felt silenced by your own voice, I promise it’s possible to find freedom in speech. Feel free to check out the podcast or reach out. I’m always happy to connect with others on this journey.
