My brother taught me, "Motion is lotion."

When we're standing still, things stagnate.
When we're moving, things flow and good things happen.

Whatever your X is - stuttering, self-doubt, body image, imposter syndrome - it can feel like an impenetrable wall.

But here's what's wild about transcending it:

When you get through things, you tell yourself,
"Wait... I wasn't supposed to be here. But here I am."

You know that barrier you thought would break you?
It might just be the catapult that launches you to higher ground. 🚀

Sometimes the thing we're grappling with becomes the thing that elevates us.

Don't get stuck. Keep moving.
Motion is lotion.

Do you agree? 👇

Note to self: this is what happens when I let my daughter pick my shoe color.

On the one hand, a bit bright. Actually, VERY bright. Brighter than I'm comfortable with.

At the same time, fun. It's nice to be colorful sometimes. And it feels like shoes like this cannot stay in a closet. And you can't wear them just for walking.

I will allow these shoes to invite me to step up. And I know these shoes will support my next move.

Six months ago, this father thought his son wouldn't even speak at his bar mitzvah.

And then it was time...
His son delivered his own speech with confidence - in front of 100+ people 💪

It's not about us.
It's not about the protocol.

It's about the client.
It's about getting behind their goals - and guiding them to success!

Less about speech perfection.
More about communication impact.

Less automated.
More personalized.

People don't need more problems.
They don't need more things to think about.

They need someone to listen to them.
Someone who helps them get what they want.

♻️ Stories like this remind us why we do what we do.

At Schneider Speech, we help people talk more and fear less.

Let me tell you a secret: I challenge my clients to do hard things.
I also accept when they challenge me to do hard things.

This weekend, challenge accepted. I completed the hashtag .

Running from the bottom of the ski lift to the top. 1312ft (400m) of elevation.
That's like climbing from 34th Street straight up to the antenna of the Empire State Building.

Unlike a manmade skyscraper, the mountain has no stairs. Just unforgiving loose rocky dirt. And when you need a breather, you feel how much thinner the air is at 5000 ft (1500 meters) above sea level.

-

High performing clients push me to perform better.
To help them bring out their best, I need to push myself.

When I start working with clients, they need my expertise, guidance, support. As they achieve more success, the work becomes even more dynamic.

Their courage and strength rubs off on me - as it does for everyone around them. And like building human muscle, this flywheel of human growth gets tested, torn and rebuilt stronger through working together.

When a child's speech is blocked, parents get stuck too.
? Did I cause the problem?
? Am I doing enough to help?
? Am I doing too much?

When parents reach out to us, they often tell us all the unhelpful advice they heard - and how long they waited to find help.

So, if you're tired of hearing typical (unhelpful) advice - you're not alone.

Join us this Sunday for a special panel for parents of children ages 2-17.
→ Hear from professional experts with decades of experience helping thousands worldwide

Practical tips you'll learn:
⚡️ Why saying 'slow down' and 'take a deep breath' can do more harm than help
⚡️ The #1 thing to keep kids talking - learning how to listen through it
⚡️ How to create successful speaking opportunities for different ages

Sunday 10AM EST | Free on Zoom

What's the worst thing people say about stuttering?

🙅 "Just slow down."
🙅 "Take a deep breath."
🙅 "Think before you speak."
🙅 "Don't worry—they'll grow out of it."

Stuttering can be hard. Misinformation makes it worse!

Today, on National Stuttering Awareness Day , let's address some MYTHS—and get FACTS.

❌ MYTH: Stuttering is caused by parents or anxiety.
❌ MYTH: Just wait for stuttering to pass on its own.
❌ MYTH: Stuttering gets worse the more a child stutters.

✅ FACT: Research shows that professional help makes a significant difference, even for young children.
✅ FACT: Encourage children to "keep talking." Listen to WHAT your child says, not HOW they say it.
✅ FACT: Parents, you're not the cause, but you CAN be part of the solution by learning supportive skills!

Remember to consult a licensed SLP specializing in stuttering if:

☑️ You or your child is concerned about stuttering
☑️ Young child has been stuttering for more than 6 months
☑️ Child is 5 years or older with stuttering (even if recent)

👉 What do you wish the world knew about stuttering?

I saw a mysterious call on my calendar last week. A name and a number - but no context. The note said, "They just want to talk."

With a healthy dose of curiosity, I dialed and said, "Hi, how I can I help?"

She jumped right in with, "I just need to thank you."

"Sure. You're welcome. But, what are you thanking me for?"

"Oh, let me back up and give you the backstory. My daughter Emma worked with your father 20 years ago. She was a chatty schoolgirl with a significant stutter. I still remember how your dad invited her to bring her sticker collection to show him. She cherished meetings with him. He made her feel seen - and heard.

Well, I don't know if you know, but Emma grew up and became a teacher. Not just any teacher - she teaches in the upper school in the same institution she attended as a child.

I'm calling you now because something happened at school last week. The principal Mrs. Gold - the same school principal from the time Emma was a student - approached her out of the blue and said,

'You know Emma, I still remember when you were a young charismatic student with a stutter. And look at you! You've become one of our best and most popular teachers. Now, I've got a new student struggling with a stutter. So, I wanted to ask you, 'Who helped you?' I want to pass their information along.'

So, that's why I called to say thank you - and ask if I can refer them to you."

That's why Jackie called. After all these years.

We never know the extent of the ripples of the work we do.

Until we do.

🌟 NEW EPISODE #83 IS LIVE! 🌟

When Rabbi Jonathan Cohen ("JoCo") woke up one Shabbat morning unable to move, his life changed forever. Emergency brain surgery and a cancer diagnosis could have broken his spirit—instead, his illness unlocked his remarkable resilience.

In this powerful conversation, JoCo shares how he continues serving others while fighting cancer, finding meaning in the most challenging circumstances.

In this episode, you'll discover what helps JoCo get through the cancer roller-coaster, how he sets goals and plans his time, and how all of us can show up for others (and help ourselves) through life's toughest moments.

"Keep smiling. Remember that you're always looking at somebody else and they are looking at you."
- Rabbi Jonathan Cohen
