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.

TTT48: 3 Top Tips for Getting More Protein in Midlife
Are you struggling to eat enough protein?
Maybe you're not sure how much you actually need, whether protein powders are necessary, or how to fit more protein into your meals without living on chicken and broccoli.
The truth is, protein becomes even more important as we move through our 40s and beyond.
As oestrogen declines, we naturally become less responsive to protein, making it harder to build and maintain muscle. That matters because muscle isn't just about looking toned—it's essential for strength, metabolism, healthy ageing and maintaining your independence.
In this week's Top Tip Tuesday, Lisa shares three simple strategies to help you increase your protein intake without overcomplicating your nutrition.
In This Episode
⚔️ Why protein needs increase during perimenopause and menopause
⚔️ The connection between protein, muscle and healthy ageing
⚔️ Why most women are eating far less protein than they realise
⚔️ Three practical ways to increase your protein intake every day
⚔️ Simple meal swaps that make hitting your protein target much easier
Key Takeaway
Protein isn't just another nutrition trend.
It's one of the most important building blocks for maintaining muscle, supporting your metabolism and ageing well.
Small changes, repeated consistently, can make a huge difference over time.
