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.

149: The Worse Exercise to Do if you are Over 35 and What to Do Instead
Episode 149: The Worse Exercise to Do if you are Over 35 and What to Do Instead
So, I decided to become a personal trainer at the ripe age of 39. I had been active and ‘fit’ for most of my life though never skinny and just the right side of slim.
But I was never strong and as I hit 35 I started to notice fat in places I never knew I had places.
So I continued my health geek studies and began reading and practicing in the pursuit of what makes us lose stubborn fat, by getting more healthy, living longer so we can get lean and strong and look and feel good along the way!
Sound good?
And through studying a lot on metabolism, hormones and your thyroid, was I able to understand this and can now share this with you.
What I am going to say here might fly in the face of what you know or believe or it might sound like too much effort and heck I just want to be skinny.
But this is the end game, I can get you a lean and toned body but you can get so MUCH more than just that.
What about a life’s vehicle that will take you into your 60s and 70s looking hot too?
With more energy, flexibility, strength and being a bad ass in the face of disease even as a Granny or when you are Grey and get your bus pass?
And all of this can be seen in as little as 28 days.
Did you know that after the age of 35 your body is less able to handle the rigors of stressful exercise? And, since your body changes hormonally, you start to gain weight more easily. Not only that, you also begin to lose lean muscle tone, making you weaker and flabbier.
These are natural processes that occur with aging…
However, the solution is NOT to kill yourself in the gym to burn off those extra calories. In fact, doing so only makes matters worse, especially if you rely on this one popular type of exercise.
Did you know that is all too common exercise, once deemed the “holy grail” for losing weight, is actually making it near impossible for you to lose those stubborn pounds and keep them off?
I’ll reveal exactly what this deadly exercise is in just a moment, but first…
