Today marks the final day in February 2022 & as another month comes to a close, that means it’s time for Sweeney’s Stuttering Update – this time for February 2022!! I like to do these update posts once a month, as a way to keep you all in the loop about my journey to speech fluency!

This is something that I like to refer to as “My Happy Disposition”, and is going to be what we are going to be exploring in today’s blog!
Sleep – is something that we all need, but do we all get enough of it? What happens to us if we do not get as much sleep as we need? We are going to be taking a look at the above questions & more in today’s blog, so let’s get into it!

Time to Talk Day 2022 fell last Thursday, on the 3rd February 2022, and what s truly special day it is in the Mental Health Calendar!! Time To Talk Day is a national celebration that falls very close to my heart, so we are going to be taking a bit of a closer look at the national holiday in today’s blog!
Why is it that we spend so much time and effort pursuing goals and desires that go against our natural intuitions and inclinations?

This is akin to trying to swim against rather than with the flow…
