Goddess Got Goals is a podcast for women in midlife who feel tired of pushing, pretending, and holding it all together — and know, deep down, that something is ready to change. Hosted by Lisa Barwise, Wellness Alchemist and author of Unarmoured, this show explores what it really means to soften, heal, and return to yourself after years of over-giving, people-pleasing, and carrying invisible armour. Through honest personal stories, nervous system wisdom, energy psychology, sacred strength, and practical magic, each episode invites you to stop fighting your body and start listening to it. This isn’t about discipline, reinvention, or becoming someone new.It’s about safety before strength, compassion before consistency, and learning how to live — and lead — from a regulated, embodied place. This is the Warrior Goddess SAGA. Not the rise before the fall — but the rise after you come home to yourself.  Because Goddess Got Goals.

    187: Armour Weight on Your Face?!

    Armour Weight on Your Face (And What I’m Discovering) In this episode, I’m talking about the heaviness many women notice in midlife — softness under the chin, jawline changes, puffiness, and that “when did this happen?” moment in the mirror. We explore: • Why this isn’t just fat or ageing • How estrogen decline impacts collagen production • The role of cortisol and chronic stress in tissue breakdown • Why lymphatic drainage slows in menopause • How inflammation and fluid retention affect facial structure • Why surface solutions (creams, face yoga) don’t address the root cause • The concept of Armour Weight™ showing up on the face • What I’m researching and building next with Skin Witchery This episode is about understanding what’s happening biologically — and why rebuilding starts from within. 🔗 Links Mentioned in This Episode • The Restoration Audio — nervous system reset & regulation www.warriorgodesskettlebelltraining.com/restoration • Join the Warrior Goddess Tribe Community www.warriorgodesskettlebelltraining.com/tribe Be sure to connect with Lisa Barwise and Warrior Goddess Kettlebell Training on social media: Instagram @lisa_barwise @wgkettlebelltraining Facebook www.facebook.com/warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining Youtube https://www.youtube.com/warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining What you can do to help the Podcast?

    WGW7: Why Momentum Dies Right Before it Works

    Warrior Goddess Weekly Why Momentum Dies Right Before It Works Have you ever noticed that momentum often collapses right before things start working? You’re consistent. You’re showing up. You’re finally building rhythm… And then something shuts it down. In this week’s Warrior Goddess Weekly, we explore why momentum doesn’t fail because you’re lazy or undisciplined — it fails because your nervous system hit a stress threshold. When stress rises, your body chooses survival over progress. And depending on your Warrior Goddess Archetype, that survival response looks different: 🌬 Seeker — freezes into analysis paralysis and overthinking 🔮 Alchemist — procrastinates, floats into ideas without embodied action ⚔️ Warrior — doubles down, pushes harder, and burns out 🛡 Guardian — fawns, prioritises others, and abandons her own goals We also explore why the approaching Fire Horse energy represents ignition, movement, and decisive forward momentum — and why this is the exact time to regulate stress so you can actually harness that energy instead of being overwhelmed by it. Momentum doesn’t disappear. It pauses — waiting for your system to feel safe enough to carry it. ✨ Your Next Step Take the Warrior Goddess Archetype Quiz and discover: • How stress blocks your momentum • Where you’re leaking energy • The Quest designed to help you move forward sustainably 👉 Take the quiz here: http://thewarriorgoddesssaga.com/ If this resonated, subscribe, share, and join us inside the Warrior Goddess community. Strength is sacred. Momentum is earned. Regulation is power.

    186: Why You Always Fall Off the Plan (and Why It’s Not Just Self-Sabotage)

    If you’ve ever started strong… felt motivated… made the plan… and then “fallen off” — this episode is for you. Because what you’ve been calling self-sabotage might not be sabotage at all. In this episode of Goddess Got Goals, Lisa explores why falling off the plan is rarely a willpower problem and almost never a character flaw. Instead, it’s often a nervous system response to pressure, rigidity, and plans that don’t account for energy, hormones, ADHD wiring, or emotional load. You’ll learn: • Why most “self-sabotage” is actually self-protection • What’s happening biologically when motivation suddenly drops • How perimenopause lowers stress tolerance and changes the rules • Why ADHD brains struggle with rigid, streak-based plans • The hidden reason “just get back on track” makes it worse • How to replace rigid plans with anchors, rhythm, and self-trust This episode is an invitation to stop shaming yourself for falling off and start building something you can always return to. Because the goal isn’t never falling off. The goal is creating a way forward that feels safe enough to sustain. ✨ Links mentioned in this episode: • The Quickening — a nervous system reset & re-entry point • Warrior Goddess Archetype Quiz • Unarmoured Enter the Warrior Goddess Saga for your next step: https://thewarriorgoddesssaga.com Restoration Audio Ad Be sure to connect with Lisa Barwise and Warrior Goddess Kettlebell Training on social media: Instagram @lisa_barwise @wgkettlebelltraining Facebook www.facebook.com/warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining Youtube https://www.youtube.com/warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining What you can do to help the Podcast?

    🔥 Warrior Goddess Weekly The Power of What’s Growing Beneath the Surface Fire Horse Energy • Eclipse Season • Final Shedding of the Wood Snake We’re approaching the Year of the Fire Horse, which officially begins on 17 February 2026 with the Chinese New Year — notably opening with a Solar Eclipse. At the same time, we’re in the final shedding phase of the Year of the Wood Snake, an energy that has asked for quiet healing, survival, and slow release. This episode is about recognising that discomfort not as failure — but as evidence of growth beneath the surface. ✨ In This Episode, We Explore: Why this moment feels intense, unsettled, or emotionally charged What the final shedding of the Wood Snake is asking you to release How Fire Horse energy calls for truth-led momentum and identity alignment Why eclipse season accelerates endings and course corrections How growth often shows up as discomfort before it becomes visible 🔮 The Invitation Instead of asking, “What should I do next?” Try asking: What is already growing beneath the surface? What identity is ready to be released? What armour no longer fits? Because when Fire Horse energy arrives, there will be no room for half-truths — only movement that matches who you are becoming. ✨ Your Next Step Your Warrior Goddess Archetype reveals how you’ve been armouring up, where you self-sabotage during change, and how to move forward without guilt, grind, or burnout. 🗝️ Take the Warrior Goddess Archetype Quiz Begin the journey of becoming Unarmoured — in body, in voice, in life.

    185: Consistency Is Not the Goal — It’s the Side Effect

    Consistency Is Not the Goal — It’s the Side Effect If you’ve spent years calling yourself inconsistent, flaky, or “bad at follow-through,” this episode is for you. In this episode of Goddess Got Goals, Lisa reframes consistency as an outcome, not a personality trait — and explores why forcing discipline, especially for women with ADHD or sensitive nervous systems, often backfires. Lisa shares her own lived experience of struggling with consistency, the shame of starting and stopping, and the moment she realised the problem wasn’t willpower — it was dysregulation, energy mismanagement, and broken self-trust. You’ll learn why consistency emerges naturally when the nervous system feels safe, how energy management matters more than time management, and why Alchemy Anchors — tiny, repeatable promises you keep with yourself — rebuild trust far more effectively than rigid plans. This episode is an invitation to stop fighting yourself, release the identity of “inconsistent,” and create a rhythm your body can actually sustain. Because consistency isn’t something you force. It’s something that happens when the conditions are right. ✨ Links mentioned in this episode: • The Quickening — a nervous system reset & re-entry point • Warrior Goddess Archetype Quiz • Unarmoured Book Enter the Warrior Goddess Saga here --> thewarriorgoddesssaga.com Restoration Audio Ad Be sure to connect with Lisa Barwise and Warrior Goddess Kettlebell Training on social media: Instagram @lisa_barwise @wgkettlebelltraining Facebook www.facebook.com/warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining Youtube https://www.youtube.com/warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining What you can do to help the Podcast?

    184: Why Strong Women Burn Out First (and Call It Discipline)

    Why Strong Women Burn Out First (and Call It Discipline) Strong, capable women don’t burn out because they’re weak. They burn out because they’ve been strong for too long — in ways their bodies can no longer sustain. In this episode of Goddess Got Goals, we explore why traditional ideas of discipline and consistency often fail women in midlife — especially Type-A women navigating perimenopause, chronic stress, and ADHD-wired nervous systems. You’ll learn how what we call “discipline” is often a survival strategy, why pushing harder backfires as hormones shift, and how burnout is not a mindset problem but a biological response to prolonged pressure. We also talk about what to do instead: replacing discipline with discernment, consistency with rhythm, and self-control with self-trust — so strength can become supportive rather than self-destructive. This episode is an invitation to stop forcing, soften the armour, and lead differently in this next chapter. Because strong women don’t need to be stronger. They need safety, support, and a new way forward. ✨ Links mentioned in this episode: Enter the Warrior Goddess Saga here --> thewarriorgoddesssaga.com And find... • The Quickening (nervous system reset & re-entry) • Warrior Goddess Archetype Quiz • Unarmoured- the Book Restoration Audio Ad Be sure to connect with Lisa Barwise and Warrior Goddess Kettlebell Training on social media: Instagram @lisa_barwise @wgkettlebelltraining Facebook www.facebook.com/warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining Youtube https://www.youtube.com/warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining What you can do to help the Podcast?
