Adult Stuttering

CHICAGO: March Green Social is ready! 🍀

Green Social (No. 23)♥️

Chicago adults who stutter, come join us in a space where stuttering isn’t a big deal.

This is an occasion where you get to show up and meet other people who stutter or clutter. THIS IS NOT A SUPPORT GROUP. You don’t have to talk about stuttering. (A lot like Fight Club)

Except, unlike fight club, you can talk about it if you want. Also, unlike Fight Club there is no fighting. Obviously.

This is fully informal, this doesn’t run like a meeting. This runs like a happy hour (purchase of drinks or coffee is available but fully optional). Come and hang out with other similarly aged adults who get it. Stuttering is a big part of your life but it’s not all of you. You’re multifaceted, you’re cool.

You can invite someone to accompany you or you can come by yourself!

Join the email list for details! Comment GREEN and I’ll send you the link!

You are wanted here and this event was truly created specifically for YOU.

A quick note, if stuttering is something that you’re having a hard time with, and seeing these emails/posts causes anxiety or stress, please know that it is okay if you’re not ready. Sometimes we have to let our brain’s and bodies get accustomed to the idea of an experience. Maybe next time, or maybe by April you’ll be ready!♥️

I’ve notice that fluency strategies have gotten a makeover. They’ve been rebranded. Be selective in what you absorb.

Fellow SLPs, stuttering is much deeper than what most of us were taught. Healthy therapy requires that we completely shift how we think, feel, and talk about stuttering.

If the stuttering approaches you were taught feel… off, you’re onto something!

I only offer my signature course twice a year. Don’t miss it. Comment WORKSHOP and I’ll send you the link. ♥️

Designed for SLPs, but valuable for people who stutter, parents, educators, and community members who want to better understand the lived experience.

SLPs, if stuttering treatment feels… off, you’re onto something!

Join me for my signature webinar.

WHY STUTTERING MATTERS
…and how it’s changed

This is a new era, and it’s here to stay. This isn’t about adding more strategies.�It’s about shifting your framework. Let’s shake up your entire understanding of stuttering.

Designed for SLPs — and meaningful for people who stutter, parents, and educators who want a deeper understanding of the lived experience.

I only offer this workshop twice a year.

I deeply want to move the needle forward in this sector of our field. So to increase accessibility, I’ve adjusted the price in HALF through the month of February. Don’t wait. Take this opportunity.

It’s always a great day with the NSA !

This Post-it is about 2 years old. It was a list of the things I needed for my first one day stuttering conference in 2024. I was a year and a few months into my neurosurgery recovery.

These items were for survival of one day in a busy and unfamiliar environment. At the time, I lived on lists. Mini lists, big lists. Anything to decrease the cognitive load of everyday tasks. Without a list I was guaranteed to forget an item or use up brain energy that I desperately needed to save for later.

Two years ago every minute of my day was calculated for maximal brain performance. If I wasn’t resting my brain, or nourishing my brain I was working my brain. There was nothing else, just my brain.

Today I’m learning a balance. I don’t have my pre-diagnosis brain. Likely that brain is gone forever. My brain is much stronger than two years ago, but the level of commitment to my brain at that time was unsustainable.

The orange supplement packet is from today. I’m constantly trying to feed my brain whatever it may need. Creatine lately helps me midday. With another cocktail of specific supplements in the morning. And of course as much nourishment in my daily meals as possible.

rest

movement

purpose

nature

connection

novelty

nourishment

That’s my brain. I’ve begun my monthly Loves List. Where I share my favorite things from stuttering world. I sometimes sprinkle a bit of brain health too. Comment LOVE and I’ll send you my February list. ♥️

Healthy stuttering therapy has nothing to do with stuttering less. Btw I made something for you. Comment “LOVE” and I’ll send it your way.

NSA workshop submissions are open… any guesses on my workshop topic this year?

This is something very personal to many, but I fear that it’s sometimes used as a blanket statement. What do people truly mean when they say this? I’d love to hear yours. ♥️
