Sentences that start with a word with a vowel are what I struggle with the most. My name starts with a vowel, so introducing myself is the hardest thing for me to get past. If I know I am meeting visi...

Great job. It’s always tough when introducing oneself. The word “introduce” can even make one nervous. I’ve learned once those feelings subside and the anxiety fades out I’m good. Shit I even add “pse...

You’re not alone. The /k/ is a plosive sound and momentarily stops the flow of air from the lungs. This brief stop results in a block and then another and then another, etc. And then there’s the antic...

Stuttering in your dreams is the worst! It’s always me having to introduce myself to someone...

I could see you went "oh shit" when you came to the R in Rees. So relatable. Thanks for posting this Rees....
