On this episode of the Blueprint Podcast, Jason Smith explores the profound difference between being "triggered" and being "activated." Drawing from years of experience in law enforcement and a deep study of the human condition, Jason shares the concept of Chronic Resilience—the hard-earned wisdom that allows you to power through life's most difficult moments without falling back into old survival patterns.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re meandering through time, living the same day over and over, or struggling to get out of your own way in tense conversations, this episode is the architecture for your change.
What We Discuss:
The Language of Agency: Why the word "triggered" feels permanent and how shifting to the concept of "Activation" gives you your power back.
Chronic Resilience: Building the ability to thrive despite your coping mechanisms of avoidance or withdrawal.
The Operational Standard: Moving away from being a casualty of the moment and toward showing up with intentionality and purpose.
The S.O.U.R.C.E. Protocol: A first look at the tactical field kit designed to help you regain clarity in under sixty seconds.

People are so eager to change others that they forget a critical question: Does the other person even want to change?
In this episode, Jason Smith explores the concept of "relational blindness" and why anxiously attached individuals get stuck trying to fix their partners instead of mastering their own inner world. We discuss the sobering reality of Sonder, the grief of letting go of someone's "potential," and why change always starts "By the One."
Key Topics:
Why "fixing" others is a survival strategy for the anxiously attached.
Learning to love people for who they are today, not who they could be.
Shifting from a "survival state" to a state of flow and emotional freedom.
How to reclaim your authority and clean up your side of the street.
