Hi Lindsay! I never really wondered what causes a good speech day or bad speech day. Part of the challenges of facing stuttering on a daily basis means accepting the "ebbs and flows" of speech patterns. Sometimes when I start talking to someone and I begin to block, I will wonder is this a predictor? Every time you speak is a chance to be fluent-and if not, that's OK! You do not have to beat yourself up over it-I really think the three most dangerous words in the English language are "Would've, Could've, Should've...." because there's so much we want to say, but yet we just don't. We have to. We need to. And the world is going to hear it!!
