Goddess Got Goals
Goddess Got Goals is a podcast for women in midlife who feel tired of pushing, pretending, and holding it all together — and know, deep down, that something is ready to change.
Hosted by Lisa Barwise, Wellness Alchemist and author of Unarmoured, this show explores what it really means to soften, heal, and return to yourself after years of over-giving, people-pleasing, and carrying invisible armour. Through honest personal stories, nervous system wisdom, energy psychology, sacred strength, and practical magic, each episode invites you to stop fighting your body and start listening to it.
This isn’t about discipline, reinvention, or becoming someone new.
It’s about safety before strength, compassion before consistency, and learning how to live — and lead — from a regulated, embodied place.
This is the Warrior Goddess SAGA.
Not the rise before the fall — but the rise after you come home to yourself.
Because Goddess Got Goals.

173: Leg Strength: The Measure of Anti Ageing
Forget creams, collagen, or chasing weight loss — want to know one of the most powerful predictors of healthy aging?
It’s leg strength.
In this episode, Lisa dives deep into why your lower body holds the key to long-term independence, hormone balance, fat-burning power, and even longevity. We’ll break down the science-backed reasons why strong legs matter more than ever after 40 and how to train them effectively (without spending hours in the gym).
You’ll learn:
- The surprising connection between leg strength and lifespan
- Why losing lower body strength = faster aging (especially for women)
- How building muscle in your legs supports metabolism, hormones, and fat loss
- What CURVY-style training is (and how it targets your Wonder Curves)
- How to build leg strength with kettlebells — at home, in under 30 mins
Research Mentioned:
A 2019 study from the Journal of Gerontology found that leg strength is strongly associated with brain health and mobility as we age, and may even predict future cognitive decline and risk of falls. Simply put — strong legs = longer life and more independence.
