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.

Sarcopenia: The Midlife Health Crisis Nobody Is Talking About
For years we've been told to focus on losing fat. But what if the real issue in midlife isn't fat... it's muscle?
In this episode, Lisa explains why muscle loss accelerates during menopause, how it's linked to insulin resistance, body composition, falls and healthy ageing, and why it's never too late to rebuild strength. If you've ever wondered why your body feels different despite doing all the "right" things, this episode will help you connect the dots.
In This Episode
• What sarcopenia is and why it matters
• The link between muscle loss and insulin resistance
• Why muscle protects your brain, bones and metabolism
• How strength training changes your future health
• Why it's never too late to become Sexy Strong
