Replacing words is common experience among people who stutter. What we find out in this episode is people in recovery may have similar experiences.
Lupita Dorado just recently opened up about her stutter with her sister. We talk about what that experience has been like for their relationship. Other topics include filler words, stuttering as a woman in the professional setting, and interactions with her daughter who also stutters.
Joining me as this week’s co-host is Jay Shifman, host of Choose Your Struggle.
