Goddess Got Goals
Welcome to Goddess Got Goals — the podcast for women who are ready to stop shrinking, stop hustling, and start rising into their next chapter with strength, clarity, and sacred fire.
I’m your host, Lisa Barwise — Wellness Alchemist and Summoner of the Warrior Goddess SAGA — and I’m here to guide you through the powerful transformation that happens in midlife. This isn’t about surviving perimenopause or just “getting healthy.” It’s about rewriting your story, reclaiming your power, and rising as the Warrior Goddess you were always meant to be.
Each week, you’ll learn how to activate Wellness Alchemy — the integration of biology, psychology, and spirituality— to support your evolution from the inside out. Through bold conversations, practical strategies, ancient wisdom, and a bit of magical rebellion, we’ll explore:
🔥 Strength training and sacred self-care as tools for empowerment
🌙 Living in flow with your cycles, seasons, and feminine energy
💫 Overcoming people-pleasing, perfectionism, and burnout
🧙♀️ Building daily rituals, boundaries, and micro habits that create lasting change
Navigating perimenopause, aging, and identity shifts with confidence
⚔️ And stepping fully into your Warrior Goddess SAGA — the journey of strength, alchemy, growth, and awakening
You’ll also meet the four Warrior Goddess Archetypes — Seeker, Warrior, Guardian, and Alchemist — and discover how to work with your unique energy, challenges, and gifts on your personal quest.
Whether you’re here to build a stronger body, break free from old stories, reclaim your voice, or embody your most powerful self — this is your initiation.
Your reawakening. Your call to rise.
It’s time to stop settling and start summoning.
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.
