I was born with a speech impediment which created extreme anxiety, shame, and depression that I clung to almost all of my life–it’s how I saw my world. To survive, I self-medicated. Enter the addiction crazy cycle which resulted in my life crumbling around me.
I knew I needed to get serious help and let go of all that was holding me back. Thanks to Heidi, I have let go of the old me and now I am free from my own prison.
I’m no longer looking at my life through the lens of the stutter. I’m able to start conversations with people. I’m more confident in meetings at work. I’m less anxious overall.

Best of all, I speak much more fluently! When I do stutter, my world no longer collapses. Each conversation is a fresh start.
