  • This podcast has changed my life

    As a 38 year old queer stutterer I’ve always found masking to be a huge part of my identity. For the first time in my life I now disclose that I’m verbally diverse to colleagues and friends and am learning to embrace my stutter as a positive part of who I am. Thank you so much for the work you put into this podcast and for raising awareness of something that is so misunderstood. I’m not exaggerating when I say you’ve changed my life
