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.

185: Consistency Is Not the Goal — It’s the Side Effect
Consistency Is Not the Goal — It’s the Side Effect
If you’ve spent years calling yourself inconsistent, flaky, or “bad at follow-through,” this episode is for you.
In this episode of Goddess Got Goals, Lisa reframes consistency as an outcome, not a personality trait — and explores why forcing discipline, especially for women with ADHD or sensitive nervous systems, often backfires.
Lisa shares her own lived experience of struggling with consistency, the shame of starting and stopping, and the moment she realised the problem wasn’t willpower — it was dysregulation, energy mismanagement, and broken self-trust.
You’ll learn why consistency emerges naturally when the nervous system feels safe, how energy management matters more than time management, and why Alchemy Anchors — tiny, repeatable promises you keep with yourself — rebuild trust far more effectively than rigid plans.
This episode is an invitation to stop fighting yourself, release the identity of “inconsistent,” and create a rhythm your body can actually sustain.
Because consistency isn’t something you force.
It’s something that happens when the conditions are right.
