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.

207: I Am Not Worthy: The Hidden Identity Behind Low Self-Esteem

How Your Subconscious Turns Experiences into Identity
Have you ever described yourself as having low self-esteem?
I did.
Which is strange when you consider I speak on stages, teach kettlebells, write books and have never been afraid to challenge the status quo.
So what if low self-esteem isn't actually the problem?
In this episode, I explore the hidden belief that shaped my own life, why so many women spend their lives trying to earn their worth, and how our subconscious turns childhood experiences into identity.
We'll also dive into one of the central ideas from my new book, Burned: the inherited stories that taught generations of women where their value comes from—and why so many of us are still living by those rules today.
If you've ever wondered...
- Why do I keep people pleasing?
- Why do I never feel enough?
- Why do I keep chasing the next achievement?
- Why can't I just believe I'm worthy?
...this episode is for you.
In This Episode
- Why low self-esteem is often the symptom, not the problem.
- The hidden identity driving self-sabotage.
- How women learn to earn their worth.
- Where "I'm not worthy" shows up in everyday life.
- The four ways women wear Armour Weight™.

"Maybe you've never had low self-esteem at all. Maybe you've simply spent a lifetime trying to earn a worth that was yours from the moment you were born."
