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.

Why Momentum Dies Right Before It Works
Have you ever noticed that momentum often collapses right before things start working?
You’re consistent.
You’re showing up.
You’re finally building rhythm…
And then something shuts it down.
In this week’s Warrior Goddess Weekly, we explore why momentum doesn’t fail because you’re lazy or undisciplined — it fails because your nervous system hit a stress threshold.
When stress rises, your body chooses survival over progress.
And depending on your Warrior Goddess Archetype, that survival response looks different:
🌬 Seeker — freezes into analysis paralysis and overthinking
🔮 Alchemist — procrastinates, floats into ideas without embodied action
⚔️ Warrior — doubles down, pushes harder, and burns out
🛡 Guardian — fawns, prioritises others, and abandons her own goals
We also explore why the approaching Fire Horse energy represents ignition, movement, and decisive forward momentum — and why this is the exact time to regulate stress so you can actually harness that energy instead of being overwhelmed by it.
Momentum doesn’t disappear.
It pauses — waiting for your system to feel safe enough to carry it.
