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.

19: Carb Cycling- The Answer to Fat loss in your 40s
To truly understand how this works for women over 40, you must first understand Body Shape Change.
Whereas weight loss is about the reduction of mass i.e. how much you weigh on the scale.
Body Shape Change focuses on the shape of the body, the curves, the leaning out of your midsection and to dewobble your wobbly bits!
You see, you cannot ‘tone’ a muscle. You are either building that lean muscle to fill out your shape, boost your metabolism and burn that fat , or you are not.
You cannot turn fat into muscle. You must grow it.
The increase of muscle mass is a long and slow pro- cess and cannot be stumbled upon.
That’s to say you will not bulk up just because you are swinging a kettlebell.
When you lose weight, you become smaller and often skinnier, and weight comes off places you cannot deter- mine.
When you focus on building lean muscle you become strong, lean and curvy and more likely to burn that stub- born fat sticking to places it never used to stick to (belly, hips, back).
But just as the way you exercise is different for building lean muscle and burning fat (two different types of train- ing), the way you EAT is different for both processes too.
The amount of calories is important but so is the macro content of that food i.e. protein, carbs and fat.
There needs to be a balance or a proportion of how you consume each of these to reach your body goals.
Carbohydrates are simply one of the macronutrients you need to fuel your body. Along with proteins, fats and
How does it work? Yup, here comes the science.
The concept of cycling your carbohydrates is simply about eating more of less carbs on given days based on your level of activity and needs of your body for fuel and for building lean muscle.
