Mental Health & Addiction Podcast: Mind Matters by Gordon Bruin
Who was the teacher who changed your life? Discover the power of a single encouraging word in this heartfelt episode.
We dive deep into the lasting impact that teachers, mentors, and supportive figures have on our lives. Through personal stories—like an unforgettable 8th-grade basketball tryout—and wisdom from Leo Tolstoy, we explore how genuine care and belief can shape self-worth and future success.
Key takeaways:
- One positive interaction can change someone's trajectory forever.
- Feeling loved and accepted is at the heart of every great mentor’s influence.
- Self-compassion is essential: forgive yourself for past mistakes and keep moving forward.
