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 Hip Pain Is So Common After 40 (And What Actually Helps)
If you’ve developed hip pain in your 40s — gluteal tendinopathy, frozen shoulder, plantar fasciitis, or persistent tendon pain — you’re not imagining it.
These issues are incredibly common in perimenopause, and they’re often misunderstood.
In this episode, Lisa explains why tendon injuries increase after 40 and how hormonal changes, modern movement patterns, and chronic stress all influence tendon health.
Because this isn’t just about ageing.
It’s about how your body adapts to stress, movement, and hormonal shifts over time.
In this episode we explore:
• Why estrogen affects tendon repair and collagen production
• How “glute amnesia” from modern life impacts hip stability
• The connection between chronic stress and what Lisa calls Armour Weight™
• Why rest alone rarely fixes tendon issues
• What actually helps: strength, stability, recovery, and nervous system regulation
You’ll also learn why progressive glute strength training, single-leg stability, and recovery strategies are essential for protecting your hips and tendons in midlife.
Because hip pain isn’t always “just ageing.”
Often your body simply needs stronger glutes, better stability, and less physiological armour.
