Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2153350/fan_mail/new] In this episode, Joe sits down with Brad Edmondson, Black Belt and owner of Misfits Jiu-Jitsu in St. Charles, IL, to explore how jiu-jitsu became the lifeline that helped him rise from severe depression into a life of purpose, balance, and leadership. Brad shares openly about starting his training at age 30 during one of the darkest seasons of his life, the mentors who shaped him, and how the discipline of jiu-jitsu rewired his mind, his identity, and his belief in himself. Together, Joe and Brad dive into the connection between movement and mental health, what it means to build a safe and positive training environment, and how Brad uses jiu-jitsu as a tool for emotional regulation, resilience, and personal transformation. This conversation is raw, inspiring, and filled with practical wisdom for anyone navigating their own internal battles or searching for a path back to themselves. A powerful reminder that healing doesn’t always start with talking — sometimes it starts with stepping on the mat.

The Leaf & The Acorn

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2153350/fan_mail/new] 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.
