4 Steps to Real Personal Transformation (for yourself and others)

Transformation is at the heart of coaching, but real personal transformation requires more than just motivation. It takes honesty, courage, subconscious reprogramming, and bold action. In this episode, Lauren Brollier Newton explores the deeper mechanics of transformation and reveals the four steps that make the difference between surface-level change and truly lasting results.

As a 7-figure coach and leader in the personal development space, Lauren has witnessed firsthand the power of these steps in her own life and in the lives of her clients. She shares why most people never experience true transformation, what holds them back, and how coaches can help their clients shift their thinking and take real, aligned action.

You’ll walk away with a clear, actionable framework for transformation—one that you can apply to your own journey and use to facilitate massive breakthroughs for your clients. If you’ve ever wondered what truly moves the needle when it comes to deep personal growth, this episode will give you the answers!

Personal Transformation Step 1: The Truthful Audit—Getting Honest About Where You Are

“Real transformation requires real honesty.” -Lauren Brollier Newton

The first step in transformation is a truthful audit—an honest look at what’s working and what’s not in your life. Most people avoid this step because awareness means they might have to change—and change can feel scary.

As a coach, you can help clients navigate this process by:

  • Encouraging bravery in self-reflection.
  • Reassuring them that awareness doesn’t mean they have to take action immediately.
  • Using breathing techniques or mindset shifts to ease resistance.

Transformation can’t happen if we don’t first acknowledge where we really are.

Personal Transformation Step 2: The Courage to Discover What You Really Want

Once you’re honest about where you are, the next step is getting clear on what you actually want.

At Brave Thinking Institute, we use the question: “What would I love?” This removes limitations and helps people tap into true desire, not just what they think they can have.

As a coach, help your clients:

  • Give themselves permission to dream without limitations.
  • Stop filtering desires through their current reality.
  • Notice where fear-based thinking holds them back from admitting what they truly want.

Most people create a vision based on their circumstances, not their true potential. But transformation starts when we dream beyond what seems possible.

Personal Transformation Step 3: Reprogram Your Subconscious for Sustainable Change

Your subconscious mind is your internal thermostat—it dictates what feels “normal” and will always pull you back to its set point unless you intentionally reprogram it.

That’s why people lose weight and gain it back, earn more money and then lose it, or make progress only to self-sabotage. The subconscious is working to keep them at their old level.

To create lasting transformation, you must:

  • Install new beliefs and patterns that align with your desired outcome.
  • Shift from scarcity thinking to abundance thinking.
  • Change your relationship to external circumstances (so setbacks don’t define your results).

Your subconscious mind dictates 95% of your results—if you don’t shift it, transformation won’t last.

Personal Transformation Step 4: Take Bold, Inspired Action

Thinking alone won’t create transformation—you must take action.

If you’ve done the first three steps but don’t act, transformation stalls. The biggest breakthroughs happen when we step into the unknown before we feel ready.

Action completes the transformation circuit. That means:

  • Applying for the opportunity, even if it feels scary.
  • Investing in yourself, even if the money isn’t “perfectly” lined up.
  • Making the call, sending the email, or stepping forward when your gut says “go.”

Transformation doesn’t happen without action. The sooner you move, the faster your transformation solidifies.

Key Takeaways from This Episode

  • Real transformation requires honesty. You must be willing to face the truth about where you are.
  • Dreaming beyond your current circumstances is essential. Ask yourself, What would I love?
  • Your subconscious mind must align with your new reality. Otherwise, you’ll revert to old habits.
  • Nothing changes without bold action. Taking aligned steps is the only way transformation sticks.
  • As a coach, you can facilitate massive transformation. The world needs coaches who can guide people through these steps.
