  • Nick Pollard, Born in April of 1980, is a world-renowned coach and speaker specializing in People Pleasing, Codependency, and Addiction. With over 50 million views on his social media channels, Nick has become a thought leader in personal growth and change. He ranks in the top 10% of coaches worldwide.

    Nick had a (in his own words) less-than-ideal childhood. His father was an alcoholic, workaholic, se* abuser. The latter would later push Nick to his psychological end, which landed him in a hospital in 2009. After that, Nick struggled mightily to hold his life together but could not (or so he felt) battle the mounting demons and turned to drugs and alcohol to solve the problem. It did not solve the problem, and roughly 9 years later, a change had to be made. Nick willingly checked himself into rehab, and the PeopleDisPleaser was born. Since then, Nick has traveled the world, learning and helping others and communicating his journey. His love for seeing people grow and the "light bulb go on and then explode" is what he credits, his drive.

    Nick has been very successful in business, forming and selling many companies. His first entrepreneurial venture, at age ten, was door sales for his car wash company that would later net him enough money to buy fireworks for the Fourth of July. "My parents said we did not have any money. I knew that was a lie, but I went anyway. I have made my own money since." If you ask Nick what he feels the key to success is, he would say, "Do the work. It is not fashionable or even slightly pretty. Just do the work." He enjoys walking on the beach, working out, and traveling. When he is not on the road, he spends time with his two cats, Azula and Zuko, reading, and working.

  • Episode Overview: The Blueprint Podcast with Host Jason Smith and Guest Talia Bombola, LMFT

    Episode Title: Understanding the Difference Between Avoidant Attachment and Narcissism with Talia Bombola

    Guest: Talia Bombola, LMFT - Every Tuesday, Talia joins us to answer questions from social media.

    Overview: In this episode of The Blueprint Podcast, host Jason Smith is joined by Talia Bombola, LMFT, to delve into the nuances between avoidant attachment and narcissistic personality disorder. Talia clarifies that avoidant attachment is not a diagnosis but a response pattern rooted in childhood experiences with primary caregivers. She contrasts this with narcissistic personality disorder, a clinical diagnosis characterized by ego-syntonic traits where the individual often lacks self-awareness about the distress they cause others.

    Talia explains that avoidant attachment develops when a child's needs are inconsistently met, leading to a self-reliant mindset and emotional distance from others. This attachment style is malleable and can change over time with effort and proper support.

    On the other hand, narcissistic personality disorder is marked by a lack of empathy and accountability, with individuals typically unaware of their harmful behaviors. Talia highlights the difficulties in treating malignant narcissism and the potential for some individuals with narcissistic traits to seek change, albeit rare.

    Jason and Talia also touch on the misconceptions proliferated on social media about narcissism and the importance of accurate diagnosis by trained professionals. They discuss the empowerment that comes from understanding one's attachment style and making conscious choices in relationships.

    Key Points:

    Avoidant Attachment: A response pattern from inconsistent childhood caregiving, leading to self-reliance and emotional distance. It is not a clinical diagnosis and can change over time.Narcissistic Personality Disorder: A clinical diagnosis with ego-syntonic traits, lacking empathy and accountability. It is challenging to treat, especially malignant narcissism.Social Media Misconceptions: Highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis and the misinformation prevalent on social media.Empowerment Through Understanding: Encouraging self-awareness and conscious decision-making in relationships.

    Join us for an enlightening discussion that will help you navigate your relationships with greater clarity and compassion. Tune in every Tuesday for more insights from Talia Bombola on The Blueprint Podcast.

  • Welcome to another episode of The Blueprint Podcast with your host, Jason Smith. In this episode, Jason sits down with Dr. Kelly Brogan, the author of The Reclaimed Woman.

    Jason kicks off the episode by sharing a serendipitous moment where he stumbled upon the documentary Heal, featuring Dr. Kelly Brogan, just as he was preparing for this interview. This synchronicity sets the stage for a deep and engaging conversation.

    Dr. Kelly Brogan dives into her background, detailing her journey from a conventional psychiatrist to embracing holistic practices after her own health crisis. She shares her personal transformation story, including her diagnosis of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and how dietary changes led to her recovery. This experience led her to challenge the allopathic medical system and become a passionate advocate for naturopathy and lifestyle changes.

    The conversation takes a turn into the dynamics of family and the integration of masculine and feminine values. Kelly, influenced by her law enforcement family background, discusses the importance of these dynamics in personal development. She also explores the concept of victim consciousness, emphasizing the transformative power of taking ownership of our own suffering and seeing ourselves in those we blame.

    Kelly introduces the practice of Family Constellation therapy, explaining its impact on her understanding of relationships and personal dynamics. She highlights the significance of offering belonging and acknowledging all family members, including those excluded or forgotten, to heal ancestral wounds.

    The episode also delves into empowering relationships. Kelly shares insights from teachers like Laura Doyle on improving romantic relationships through respect and support. She stresses the importance of seeing your partner’s potential and allowing them the freedom to make mistakes without judgment.

    Parenting is another key topic, with Kelly offering advice on raising children with respect for their individuality and sovereignty. She emphasizes giving to children without expecting anything in return and allowing them to make their own choices, fostering a healthy and supportive environment.

    Jason and Kelly then discuss the societal challenges facing men and women today, touching on the war on masculinity and femininity. They highlight the need for men to heal with men and women to heal with women to restore natural dynamics and complementary relationships.
