November 22, 2021 Not always in the mood to be patient with Tara
Warning: This set of recordings start off very strong on the emotions side. I found there was less and less need to do the memos related to the search DNA process.
This is the third and last part of the recordings from when getting a DNA test done. It was a process and I learned the value of not letting the events take over my emotions. Calm responses resulted in better overall experience. I am @landofrunningtara on instagram. Thank you for listening!

September 13, 2021 Share your feelings when you can in the best form you can with me
Hello everyone! Thank you for listening to my voice. This is part 2 of recording about the search. Ultimately these go deeper where I talk about family, feelings about myself, and even speak mandarin. I thought releasing 2 of 3 today was a nice time with tomorrow being the day I celebrate my birthday. I realized I had been saying the date incorrectly in mandarin and also how wild it is to hear myself try too. It is 号 not 日 (hao vs. ri).

August 02, 2021 Actually you know it’s me, ultimately what I am feeling is me
NOTE: This episode may contain information and material some may find sensitive.
SOLO EPISODE | This one I admit I’m nervous to share. I decided to start the search process and in good fashion, I recorded voice memos documenting the process. This is a compilation from March 2021. When adding up 30 second - 3 or 4 minute recordings, these become pretty lengthy. Thank you for listening!
