Ep. 95 Talia Bombola, LMFT Breaking Free from Old Patterns
In Episode 95 of The Blueprint Podcast, Jason sits down with licensed marriage and family therapist Talia Bombola for an honest, raw, and empowering conversation about personal growth, healing, and transformation. As the year comes to a close, many people set big goals for the new year, often aiming to “fix” everything at once. But Talia offers a refreshing perspective — it’s not about healing from being broken, it’s about learning to adapt and grow.
They discuss the power of radical accountability, how to navigate life’s inevitable challenges, and why "doing the work" doesn’t mean overhauling your entire life overnight. Talia breaks down the stages of conscious change, the concept of self-sabotage, and the need to stop viewing ourselves as "broken." Instead, she encourages us to see ourselves as people who are always adapting, always evolving, and always capable of more than we realize.
This episode will leave you with a powerful message: You are not broken. You are becoming.
If you’re stepping into a season of change, preparing for 2025, or simply want to understand yourself on a deeper level, this episode is filled with practical tools and thought-provoking insights. Listen now to learn how to:
- Shift from "healing" to "adapting"
- Navigate the tricky terrain of relationships when you grow but others don’t
- Recognize and break free from the victim mentality
- Develop radical self-accountability and personal agency
- Understand how childhood programming impacts adult decisions
This episode is a wake-up call for anyone ready to rewrite their narrative, drop the victim label, and step into their authentic, most powerful self.
