Goddess Got Goals
by Lisa Barwise
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 your
