From Stuck to Speaking with Conviction

What if the thing you’ve been trying to “fix” is actually your greatest asset?

In this powerful episode of the You World Order Showcase Podcast, I sat down with James Burden—speech-language pathologist, coach, and advocate for people who stutter—to explore a revolutionary approach that’s rewriting the story around stuttering, communication, and confidence.

James doesn’t just help his clients “speak better”—he guides them to speak with conviction. As someone who's worked with countless professionals and entrepreneurs, James has discovered that true transformation doesn’t come from polishing away the stutter. It comes from deep self-acceptance, releasing internal pressure, and owning your authentic voice—exactly as it is.

🎙️ In this episode, we cover:

• Why stuttering is now recognized as a form of neurodiversity (and why that changes everything)

• The myth of fluency and how traditional speech therapy often misses the mark

• What “white knuckle fluency” is—and why it’s not the goal

• The iceberg model of communication (what’s beneath the surface matters most)

• Real strategies for helping professionals show up with confidence in meetings, sales calls, and public speaking—without hiding

James also shares his own personal journey through loss, healing, and reinvention—and how it shaped his mission to support others on theirs.

💡 Whether you stutter or know someone who does, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that:

• You’re not broken.

• You don’t have to hide.

• Your voice deserves to be heard, stutters and all.
