She finds joy and healing in her writing and yoga practices, and she loves connecting with her recovery community and other adoptees. Patrece hopes to publish her recently completed memoir, A Surprising Peace: How One Adult Adoptee Transcended Her Anxiety and Addiction and Reconciled Her Grief. It's a deeply honest account of how she faced her fears, overcame addiction, and learned to love herself. She believes it will resonate with the adoption and addiction recovery communities, those living with anxiety, and those caring for aging parents. Never be afraid to do the hard work of self-exploration. Dig deep. The rewards are immeasurable. —Patrece Maluzynsky ______________________________________________________________________ Connect with Patrece Email: patrecemaluzynsky@gmail.com Instagram: @asurprisingpeace https://www.instagram.com/asurprisingpeace/ Website coming soon: www.asurprisingpeace.com  __________________________________________________________________________________ Connect with Kristal Website: https://kristalparke.net/ Merch | Voices Collection: https://kristalparke.net/merch/ Email: kristal@becauseshesadopted.com Socials: @kristalparkeofficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristalparkeofficial/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@KristalParkeOfficial TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kristalparkeofficial Support the Show If this conversation resonated with you, please subscribe, rate, and share the podcast to help more people discover these powerful stories of healing and identity.

    26 Tanis Burnett

    Episode 26 | Tanis Burnett Tanis is a transracial adoptee from South Korea. She was adopted at 5 months old and joined her adoptive family in BC in 1987. She has two older brothers who are identical twins, who were also adopted (as a domestic adoption). She grew up in a white family, in cities and towns that are predominantly white. She played competitive hockey and baseball growing up, but now prefers golf and spending time with her dog. Part of her journey has been taking a deeper look into identity development for adoptees and the unique dynamics within adoptive families. Her journey began when she decided to go back to school to become a clinical counsellor. This prompted her to explore her adoption with a more critical lens, leading to identity growth and development. Currently, Tanis has a practice in Kelowna and enjoys working with folks who have experienced trauma and chronic pain, while also working with adult adoptees.  ______________________________________________________________________ Connect with Tanis IG: https://www.instagram.com/vantagepointwellness.ca/ and https://www.instagram.com/mystickyfeelingsco/ FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557833002222 Email: tanis@vantagepointwellness.ca Website: https://vantagepointwellness.ca  __________________________________________________________________________________ Connect with Kristal Website: https://kristalparke.net/ Merch | Voices Collection: https://kristalparke.net/merch/ Email: kristal@becauseshesadopted.com Socials: @kristalparkeofficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristalparkeofficial/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@KristalParkeOfficial TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kristalparkeofficial Support the Show If this conversation resonated with you, please subscribe, rate, and share the podcast to help more people discover these powerful stories of healing and identity.
