Making a huge change in life is never easy, and often it is our own fear of what is on the other side of the transformation that holds us back from reaching for what we really want in life. This week, we outline the five steps of making a major life change as taught by famed life coach, Tony Robbins. These stages may each take days, weeks, even years, but you may be able to recognize them in your own life and use the steps as a guide to see where you are now, push yourself to take action before the later stages, and get where you want to go. There is a chemistry to transformation and the perfect formula for your life change is already within you. You just need to start on your journey!
In this episode, you will learn about:
- Is there really a chemistry to transformation?
- The Five Stages of a Major Life Change: Satiation, Dissatisfaction, Threshold, Truth, and Opening.
- Why so many people see the truth but never fully walk through the opening, and what you can do about it.

[2:19] Success leaves clues. Follow these steps as a road map for making a major life change or helping a loved one through theirs.
[2:43] Stage One: Satiation. You are experiencing too much of something and starting to feel restless and not sure why. It’s hard to believe, but even a lobster or steak dinner every day would get to be “too much” after a while, and you would start to crave something else. Our advice for this stage would be to start doing some self-inquiry around it. You can start to journal, or even just talk it out with a coach.
[6:33] Stage Two: Dissatisfaction. Hallie uses the example of having too many meetings getting in the way of her tending to other important work obligations, and even taking up personal time. This is where the pain enters and you notice a visible difference in how you feel in the situation vs. how you used to.
[9:01] Stage Three: Threshold. You can’t take it anymore, and something has to change. The pandemic allowed many people to press pause and reassess their life when it comes to the models they were performing from when it came to their health, relationships, time, money, etc. Your astral body may project pain and everything in your soul is telling you that it wants a change.
[14:28] Stage Four: Truth. You realize it’s up to you to change the situation, and you start to look for the opening and have the tough conservations.
[16:46] Stage Five: The Opening. You know what you need to do to take the leap, but fear of the unknown can cause many people not to follow through. The chemistry of a transformation is all part of changing the root within you. As business leaders, we have to coach people on that opening, because they don’t want to be pushed and may become resentful or rebellious if they feel like they are getting forced to act or do something before they are ready.
[19:50] When you work through it, you realize it’s scary on the other side, but it is where life is. The death of an ego feels so real, but this is where we accept what life brings and trust in consciousness and faith.
