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.

Armour Weight, Perimenopause & Why Consistency Is Different Now
Most women think they have a consistency problem.
They don’t.
They have an Armour Weight™ problem.
In this episode, Lisa explains why perimenopause changes the rules of wellness and why the strategies that worked in your 20s and 30s often stop working in midlife.
Drawing from her book Unarmoured, she explores how years of stress, survival, emotional labour, and hormonal shifts can lead the body to hold protective “armour” that resists traditional diet and fitness approaches.
The solution isn’t more discipline.
It’s a layered approach that works with your biology, psychology, and spiritual rhythms.
As Lisa writes:
“There’s a kind of weight no workout or diet can touch… it’s the weight of expectation, shame, loss and survival. It’s the Armour Weight™ we wear.”
In This Episode
• Why consistency changes in perimenopause
• How stress and survival shape the body in midlife
• The myth of “more discipline”
• The Wellness Alchemy Triquetra™: biology, psychology and spirituality
