This podcast is dedicated to the award-winning documentary, My Octopus Teacher.  Free diver, Craig Foster, meets and befriends an octopus while navigating the cold and dangerous waters off Cape Town, South Africa.  The octopus serves as a shaman of sorts for Craig.  People who stutter (pws) can benefit from opening an inner dialogue about stuttering.  The octopus is an expert at disguise and camouflage.  Avoidance and concealing stuttering leads to anxiety and the fear of talking.  I encourage pws to shed the disguises, disclose that they stutter, and live free by speaking up.
