The Power of Belief:
How One Supportive Person Can Change a Child’s Path
Family connection plays a crucial role in a child’s development, shaping their self-esteem, emotional well-being, and future opportunities. When children grow up feeling valued and supported, they develop resilience, confidence, and the ability to navigate life’s challenges. However, not every child has a strong family network. In these cases, the presence of even one caring adult who believes in them can make all the difference.
Children thrive when they feel seen, heard, and encouraged. Without family support, they may struggle with feelings of worthlessness, leading to poor academic performance, difficulty forming relationships, and risky behaviors. However, research consistently shows that a single positive relationship with a caring adult—a mentor, teacher, coach, or family friend—can shift a child’s trajectory toward success.
Belief is powerful. When a child knows that someone sees potential in them, they begin to see it in themselves. This belief fosters confidence and motivation, helping them overcome obstacles and build a vision for their future. A supportive adult provides not only encouragement but also stability, serving as a role model and source of guidance.
The science behind this is clear. Studies show that children with at least one stable, supportive relationship outside their immediate family are more likely to succeed academically, develop emotional resilience, and make positive life choices. When a mentor or trusted adult listens without judgment, offers encouragement, and provides guidance, it counteracts the negative effects of instability and adversity.
As Easter approaches, this season offers the perfect opportunity to build meaningful connections with the children in our lives. Easter is a time of renewal, hope, and togetherness—values that can lay the foundation for a lasting and supportive relationship. Whether it’s sharing a meal, engaging in Easter traditions, or simply spending quality time, small moments of connection can plant the seeds of trust and encouragement that a child may need.
The lesson here is simple: never underestimate the impact of believing in a child. Whether through mentoring programs, community involvement, or simply being present in a young person’s life, one person’s support can be the difference between a life of struggle and one of success.
Every child deserves to feel valued, and sometimes, all it takes is one person to remind them of their potential. This Easter, take the first step in being that person—because the smallest act of belief can change a child’s path forever.

Conscious vs Subconscious
We’ve all faced challenges, forgiven, and moved on—at least consciously. But the subconscious mind remembers everything and continues to trigger old reactions, even when we believe we’ve healed. It operates beneath our awareness, shaping our emotions, decisions, and behaviors based on past experiences. True freedom comes from clearing these deep-seated patterns, so they no longer control us. By updating the subconscious, we can finally break free and respond in new, healthier ways. Nick will help you uncover how unresolved issues are still affecting you—and release their hold on the spot, allowing you to move forward with clarity and ease.

The Hearing Loss/Alzheimer’s Connection
Recent research suggests that improving hearing loss with hearing aids reduces the risk for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. In 2011, a team of Johns Hopkins medical school researchers discovered a significant association between hearing loss and the risk of developing these unwanted cognitive conditions. The worse someone’s hearing gets, the greater their risk of developing Alzheimer’s or dementia. The researchers believe their findings could have substantial implications for individuals and public health because hearing loss is treatable with hearing instruments. These findings underscore how important regular hearing tests are as part of preventative health care.
March Forward to better Brain Health
As we start to recover from winter and the holiday seasons, March is a turning point in the calendar that calls on spring and the start of another spell of warmth, sunlight, and fresh air. Alongside this, March also brings with it Brain Health Awareness Month. As the controlling organ of the body, the brain is what keeps us moving each day and it is important to make sure we are nurturing it and taking care of our brain health. March is a time of year when the world naturally supports us in cleansing the winter blues while it brings us earlier sunrises, lush green regrowth, and typically some warmer temperatures. These aspects of seasonal change help our brains receive natural vitamins that support healing.
To support brain health, a task we can take on ourselves is soul-care. Soul-care looks different to each person but ensuring you take at least a few moments for yourself at least once a week can help improve your mental health. Soul-care can look like anything from indulging in a little treat, watching your favourite show, or going out with a trusted friend, to list a few, though the soul-care list is ultimately full of endless possibilities. Additionally, abandoning old habits of comfort and getting out and communicating with others as part of soul-care. Loneliness is at an all time high in our societies and combating this helps with overall self-care and mental wellbeing.
Not only is March Brain Health Awareness Month, but it also holds World Sleep Day on March 14th. Mental health and healthy sleep practices have strong correlations and connections to each other. Through sleep, we are able to do things such as regulate our emotions, function properly on a day-to-day basis, and process experiences throughout our lives. Healthy practices such as minimizing screen time before bed or maintaining a schedule can play a beneficial part in the kind of sleep we have.
Not only is it important to recognize and be aware of the amount of sleep we are getting, but the quality of the sleep we receive each night is equally crucial. The average person should be getting approximately one to two hours of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep per night. REM sleep is the stage where your brain is in its deepest level of sleep and where we get the most quality sleep. Something to be aware of is if you are waking up still tired after a full night’s rest, if you wake with headaches, or find that you wake up often from your sleep to use the washroom or drink water, you might have some form of sleep disorder and it may be worthwhile for you to discuss it with your family doctor if you have concerns. At the end of the day, a healthy sleep can greatly improve your quality of life by improving both your mental and physical health.
Each person has the capability of doing something to improve their own mental wellness during this Brain Health Awareness Month be it through getting some fresh air, participating in some soul-care, combatting loneliness, or learning to understand our own sleep. Ultimately, with this knowledge everyone can take a positive step towards improving their mental well-being this March.
