Strongoo Podcast
My name is Joe Donar, and my intention for this podcast is to help individuals to create action by opening up, being vulnerable, getting uncomfortable and having hard conversations. By learning how to act, we must first learn how to feel. This gives us the emotional resiliency to overcome any challenge that stands in our way. You can listen anywhere you get your podcast, and please rate and review if you enjoy what you hear. Thanks for your support and I am honored that I get to share my experience with you. Love happy my friends!

The Leaf & The Acorn — written by Joe Donar, read by Katie Donar
A little acorn lives happily atop a mighty oak, sheltered by its best friend, a big beautiful leaf. As the seasons turn, the two fall to the forest floor, where the leaf covers the acorn through the cold winter, offering one final lesson before fading away: everything you need is already within you — just remember how to be in love.
When spring arrives, the acorn carries its friend's love into the soil and begins to grow. Along the way, the young oak meets a worm afraid of effort, a beetle who can't stop consuming, a spider who hoards, an angry squirrel, an owl lost in comparison, a snake chasing pleasure — and finally, a human with an axe. Each arrives with an easier path; each leaves transformed by the tree's quiet wisdom, finding purpose, balance, generosity, peace, self-acceptance, presence, and belonging.
A gentle fable about love, loss, and growth — and how the lessons of those who shelter us live on in what we become, so that we may love another acorn.
