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.

158: Why Women Need to Eat MORE (yes really)
If you’ve ever been told that eating 1,200 calories a day is the key to weight loss, I need you to stop what you’re doing and listen to this episode.
Because the truth? Most women are under eating—and it’s sabotaging their metabolism, energy, and long-term fat loss goals.
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
🔥 The Myth of the 1,200-Calorie Diet (and why it’s total BS)
📉 What a calorie deficit actually is (and why too much restriction backfires)
⚖️ The difference between deficit, maintenance, and surplus calories
📊 How the TDEE Calculator works to determine what your body really needs
💪 Why eating more (the right way) can actually help you burn fat, build muscle, and feel amazing
Plus, we reference Episode #73,

where I first talked about breaking free from restrictive dieting—so if you haven’t heard that one yet, it’s a must-listen, too!
Too many women are stuck in a cycle of chronic undereating, leading to stalled progress, hormone imbalances, and exhaustion. This episode is your permission (and science-backed reason) to fuel your body properly—without fear of "eating too much."
