Episode 267 features Lexi Hewitt who hails from Exton, Pennsylvania. Lexi just graduated with a Masters degree in school counseling and is looking forward to working with elementary school students one day.

She is active with the National Stuttering Association (NSA) as a family chapter leader and was a former intern and mentor. Lexi shares that both she and her brother stutter but she was more emotionally affected than he was. They both attended speech therapy as kids.

She looked up information about stuttering in 2019 and learned about the NSA and wound up attending her first conference with her mom and even did a workshop for kids, as a first timer.

As a school counselor, Lexi wants to create a safe space for ALL kids to share anything. Her final words: “Don’t be afraid to face challenges. Make room for all of the feelings.”
