A book of poems and a journal, in one
Growing Into Me
A Journey Back to Yourself. Thirty poems by Tracey Cochrane, each with a reflection and a page that is yours.
Growing Into Me is a book to read slowly and write in freely. Thirty poems, in four sections, each followed by Tracey's reflection on where it came from and A Moment for You: a prompt with ruled and dot-grid pages for your own words. In Tracey's own words, think of it like a friend sitting beside you, one who doesn't judge or interrupt but just listens.

About Tracey
Growing Into Me was born from my own journey of learning, healing and discovering who I am beneath the stories.
I didn't set out to write a book; I am not a psychologist or an expert on life. I am simply a woman who has lived, loved, struggled, made mistakes, learned, grown and continued to ask questions, and I continue to make mistakes today.
Poetry became a way for me to put feelings into words. Yoga, breathwork, meditation, studying NLP and hypnotherapy, and simply becoming more curious about myself, helped me understand that while I cannot change what has happened in my life, I can choose how I want to be going forward.
I don't believe we ever finish becoming who we are. I am still learning. I am still Growing Into Me.
