Mom Talks Episode 3: Choosing a Name: My Journey as a Mom Who Stutters

In the latest episode of Mom Talks, Alicia discusses the complicated decision around choosing a name for her baby that she will stutter on.
This vulnerable episode discusses the realities many moms who stutter face. Alicia elaborates on the familial and cultural origins of her baby's name, Adela Giselle, and how she experienced stuttering on saying Adela. She discussed her process potentially renaming her daughter to avoiding stuttering on the name, fearing the inability to communicate might affect her parenting. However, Alicia felt empowered to proceed with Adela, despite her stutter but not allowing temporary disfluencies to get in the way of appreciating her daughter's beautiful name and heritage.

If they do, I would tell her what a stutter is and why you do. And then make sure your children follow their passions regardless of the stutter.
