If you stutter and work in healthcare (or you’re headed in that direction), this upcoming NSA Connects session is for you!

Healthcare is meaningful work, but it also moves fast and asks a lot of you in every interaction. For people who stutter, those moments with patients, families, and colleagues can sometimes feel like an extra layer to manage on top of everything else. But good news: You’re not the only one navigating that!

Join host Pamela Mertz with guests Brittany Dahl and Lindsey Parker for an honest, grounded conversation about what it really looks like to show up in healthcare as a person who stutters. They’ll talk about their experiences and share practical ways to navigate them with confidence and care.

Stuttering isn’t usually the hardest part. The way people respond to it can be. It can feel like the world is against us when people interrupt, laugh, finish our sentences, or assume that speaking differently means having less to say. Even well-meaning comments like “just breathe” or “think about what you want to say” can make someone feel dismissed instead of supported.

But that can change. When we advocate for ourselves and help others understand what respectful support looks like, we can shift how people respond to stuttering. Support begins with respect and the willingness to listen.

What’s one response or moment that made you feel genuinely heard?
