For as long as I can remember, my life has been a long corridor of speech therapies. I walked through room after room, each one promising transformation, yet leaving me with more questions than answers. Many of those attempts didn’t just miss the target—they left me feeling more lost, as if my own voice were a riddle I could never quite unlock. I even tried the SpeechEasy device, hoping it would be the turning point. It helped at moments, like a streetlamp flickering on during a foggy night. But it never carried me across the finish line. Month after month, year after year, I kept waking up with the same thought: Is this just how it will always be?
But something shifted. Maybe it was stubborn hope, maybe something quieter—like the inner tug that tells you the story isn’t over yet. And that’s when I found Lee Lovett’s StopStutter app and the neuroscience method behind it. I didn’t expect miracles; I had already spent a lifetime learning not to expect them. But I followed the process with the same perseverance that stammering itself taught me—step by step, day by day, breath by breath.
Today, on my 31st birthday, I reached 30 days without a single bad stammering incident. It still feels unreal. Not because I didn’t believe improvement was possible—deep down, I always did—but because for the first time, the path forward isn’t fog. It’s open sky. I now fully reject the idea that stammering must be a life sentence. And I also reject the narrative that we must always “proudly accept it” as some unchangeable part of our identity. Growth is not betrayal. Improvement is not denial. Wanting freedom is not shame.
At the same time, I see clearly that stammering has given me something: endurance. A quiet, unglamorous kind of strength. The type you earn only after wrestling with something that lives in your own mouth. Stammering didn’t break me. It raised me. To anyone still fighting: your voice is not fixed in stone. The story can turn. And sometimes it turns exactly when you stop expecting it to. This therapy also gave me the passion to restart my “Unblock Your Stutter Podcast” after a year! If you are possibly interested, please let me know, and I will host you on the “Unblock Your Stutter Podcast” as a guest so you can share your story with everyone on our podcast! Please contact me at rajkovicm94@gmail.com if you are interested in being a guest on our show!
Here’s to the next 30 days… and the next 30 after that.
