Goddess Got Goals
This podcast answers more than just the “How to get in shape over 40 or how to focus on health, fitness and wellness as a busy, spiritual woman?"
But also looks at the concept of Wellness Alchemy which is the Venn diagram of biology, psychology and spirituality - the influencing forces felt by women in their 40s and 50s. When time, energy and hormones are the greatest challenges of our success as we try to achieve our goals, being feminine AF and in the face of patriarchic forces and medical misogyny.
The Goddess Got Goals Podcast is a live-workshop style health + wellness podcast packed with actionable step-by-step tips and real talk that are helping thousands of busy, spiritual women to become stronger- in mind, body and character, to be the best versions of themselves, without fear of grind, guilt or burnout.

Episode 172: Rest Shaming – Why We Feel Guilty for Slowing Down
Have you ever felt guilty for taking a nap? Or judged yourself for not doing more?
In this episode, we're unpacking rest shaming—that internal (and external) voice that says rest is lazy, indulgent, or selfish.
We’ll explore:
- 😰 Why we feel guilty for slowing down
- 🧠 The neurological + hormonal cost of constant “go mode”
- 🔥 How patriarchy and productivity culture have shaped women’s rest habits
- 💬 The difference between true rest vs. “scrolling on the couch”
- 🛌 What The Sleep Revolution by Arianna Huffington reveals about rest, sleep, and reclaiming our energy
- ✨ How rest can be a radical, healing, and sacred act
This is not just about sleep.
It’s about worthiness, permission, and remembering you don’t have to earn your rest.
🎧 Listen now and discover why reclaiming rest is one of the most powerful things you can do for your health, hormones, and healing.
