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.

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.
