Welcome to Growing Pains
​
Life is an ever-changing journey. Every day brings new challenges, stripping away the comfort of what we know.
​
As students, we’re constantly navigating a world of academic pressures, personal growth, and future aspirations. Each step we take—whether it’s toward a degree, a dream career, or simply understanding ourselves better—comes with its own set of challenges.
​
In these moments, we’re forced to adapt—to learn from our successes and failures, to sit with discomfort, and to stand firm in our values.
​
Growth is not always easy, and it can be painful. But it’s through these trials that we discover our resilience and learn the lessons that shape us into stronger, more capable versions of ourselves.
​​
Welcome to Growing Pains, a Podcast and Multimedia Project.
Here is a space where student stories take center stage. Here, we transform everyday challenges into opportunities for growth, building a motivated and connected community of aspiring creatives and visionaries.

Meet the Founder - Me!
Hi, I'm Erica
A little bit about me, I am 22 and a senior digital media student at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.
​
I started Growing Pains because I wanted to do something that was really close to my heart for my senior year capstone.
I've always had great ideas but hesitated to take risks, often second-guessing myself and comparing my journey to others'. But I’ve realized that I can draw inspiration from others instead of using these comparisons to doubt myself.
​
Sharing experiences should empower us, not bring us down.
