Growing Pains: The Beginning: A Raw Memoir of Survival, Healing, and Becoming (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798247650638)

Growing Pains: The Beginning is a deeply reflective memoir about survival, healing, and the quiet work of becoming.

Through personal narrative and a therapist's lens, S.J. Busby explores childhood illness, family instability, guilt, and the ways we learn to adapt long before we understand what we're carrying. Rather than offering blame or easy answers, this book honors the internal experience of growing up unseen-and the courage it takes to tell the truth later in life.

Blending memoir with guided reflection and journaling space, Growing Pains invites readers to slow down, listen inward, and consider their own stories with compassion. This book is not about having it all figured out-it is about beginning.
