Speaking for Myself

The effect my stutter has had on milestones in my teenage and young adult years and beginning to look my age.

New Year's resolution habits, unexpected nostalgia, and not letting my severity change my mood.

A potential new strategy I could use, expressing my true personality in conversations, preparing for the holidays, and in-class communication.

My eventful semester, prioritizing health, and taking time away from social media.

My tendency to find much of my joy through escapism, and my excitement for my 21st birthday party.

Highs and lows of beginning sophomore year, the importance of challenging yourself, and sharing the podcast with my peers.
