Goddess Got Goals
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.

73: Why the 1200 Calorie Diet does not work for losing weight
The Myth of the 1200 Calorie Diet (and why it doesn't work)
Because a surprisingly significant amount of the weight loss questions I get asked by women involve some aspect of the misinformation that lurks behind this whole “1200 calorie” thing.
That’s why, in this podcast, I’m going to finally set everything straight once and for all. This includes…
- Where this magical “1200” number comes from.
- Why the majority of women DON’T need a 1200 calorie diet to lose weight (and why it only causes problems).
- Why some women legitimately DO need it (and the key thing they all have in common).
- How eating this low amount can sometimes prevent weight loss from happening (but NOT because of “starvation mode”).
- How so many women claim to be eating 1200 calories a day (or less) but STILL aren’t losing weight.
And yes this is a long, science rich podcast so bucket up and enjoy all this new and wonderous information plus free downloads and tools to help you take the first step in eating the right thing, at the right time for the right reason.
