Fighting Back With Technology: Let's Build A Voice Together

The Power of Sharing Our Stuttering Stories
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Today's featured guest is <strong>Bryan Matthews</strong>. Bryan states, "I started stuttering when I was around 10 years old. I'm currently the Director of Training for the United Association of Plumbers, Pipefitters, welders and Service Technicians Local union 625 in Charleston West Virginia. I'm the co-leader of the Huntington/Marshall University Adult Chapter for the National Stuttering Association. I have completed multiple Spartan Obstacle course races and have completed three Spartan Trifectas. I just recently published the "Stuttering Journal", a semi-guided journal for people who stutter". I truly believe that there is healing in sharing, and I want to thank Bryan for sharing his story and his new book with me today.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"> <strong><u><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #222222;"> LINKS:</span></u></strong></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><strong><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Facebook</span></strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bryan.matthews.98434997" target= "_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.facebook.com/bryan.matthews.98434997</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><strong><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Email</span></strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <a href="mailto:bmatthewsua625@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">bmatthewsua625@gmail.com</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> </span><strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Link To The Stuttering Journal</span></strong><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <a href="https://a.co/d/5AudHU9" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://a.co/d/5AudHU9</a> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;"> Thank you to <strong>Noah Swiderski</strong> (owner and producer of <strong>Briton Beats</strong>) for your outro music.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;"> Thank you to <strong>Epidemic Sound</strong> for the intro music.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <a href= "https://www.epidemicsound.com/">https://www.epidemicsound.com/</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;"> Thank you to <strong>Mike Russell</strong> for that voice over outro.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <a href= "https://musicradiocreative.com">https://musicradiocreative.com</a></span></p> <p style="margin: 0in;">If you would like to support this podcast, then I would love a cup of coffee: <a href= "https://www.buymeacoffee.com/mslpodcast" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><span style= "color: #df4585; background: white;">buymeacoff.ee/<strong>mslpodcast</strong></span></a><strong><span style="color: #df4585; background: white;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></strong></p> <p style="margin: 0in;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0in;">Website:<span style= "mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <a href= "https://mystutteringlife.com">https://mystutteringlife.com</a></p>

At 35, Still Finding My Feet with Stuttering—A Positive Journey
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Today's featured guest is <strong>Andrea Navarra</strong>. Andrea Navarra is a 35-year-old Italian living in Malta. He holds a BSc in Nursing from Rome and an MSc in Green Economy from Bournemouth University, where he specialized in carbon management, renewable energy, and environmental law. He began his professional journey in healthcare as a nurse (2014–2021) before transitioning into environmental sustainability and occupational health and safety. He currently works as an EHS Manager. Outside of work, Andrea enjoys cycling, trekking, photography, scuba diving, and indulging in good music, movies, and great food.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Andrea first remembers stuttering around age 7 or 8, when his mother took him for a speech assessment and he began speech therapy. Around age 9 or 10, he also tried autogenic training, a relaxation technique. At 18, he joined a therapy group led by someone who promoted his method on Italian TV, spending a couple of weeks in Rome practicing an approach based on acting speech models. While he isn't sure he fully adopted that method, the experience gave him confidence and strength. Even though he still stuttered, it didn't bother him much until he was 28.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Around that time, stuttering became a significant challenge again. Andrea isn't sure of the exact reason, though many suggest adult responsibilities can cause stuttering to return or feel more troublesome. He tried adapting the Italian technique to other languages without success. Later, while in the Netherlands, he underwent another therapy that combined speech therapy with psychological training focused on stuttering, but he didn't find it helpful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> Since then, Andrea has continued learning by listening to podcasts, reading, and engaging with the stuttering community. He's discovered there are many different techniques and approaches, and while he may explore another path in the future, for now he is still finding his way in managing his stutter.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">I truly believe that there is healing in sharing, and I want to thank Andrea for sharing his story with me today.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><strong><u><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #222222;"> LINKS:</span></u></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"> <strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;"> Email</span></strong><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">: <strong><a href="mailto:andreanav530@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">andreanav530@gmail.com</a></strong></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"> <strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;"> LinkedIn: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrea-navarra/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrea-navarra/</a></span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;"> Thank you to <strong>Noah Swiderski</strong> (owner and producer of <strong>Briton Beats</strong>) for your outro music. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;"> Thank you to <strong>Epidemic Sound</strong> for the intro music.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span> <span style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;"><a href= "https://www.epidemicsound.com/"><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> https://www.epidemicsound.com/</span></a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;"> Thank you to <strong>Mike Russell</strong> for that voice over outro.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span> <span style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;"><a href= "https://musicradiocreative.com"><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> https://musicradiocreative.com</span></a></span></p> <p style="margin: 0in;">If you would like to support this podcast, then I would love a cup of coffee: <a href= "https://www.buymeacoffee.com/mslpodcast" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><span style= "color: #df4585; background: white;">buymeacoff.ee/<strong>mslpodcast</strong></span></a><strong><span style="color: #df4585; background: white;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></strong></p> <p style="margin: 0in;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0in;">Website:<span style= "mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <a href= "https://mystutteringlife.com">https://mystutteringlife.com</a></p>
