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.

178: Self-Sabotage + The Archetypes (and How to Stop Fighting Yourself)

Welcome back to the Goddess Got Goals Podcast — where strength is sacred, self-care is rebellion, and midlife is your greatest initiation.
In this episode, we’re going deep into a topic every Warrior Goddess faces: self-sabotage.
That invisible force that whispers, “not yet,” “not enough,” “you’ll fail again.”
You’ll discover:
🔥 The hidden reasons women self-sabotage — and how it’s often a subconscious form of self-protection, not self-destruction.
🌙 How your archetype influences your sabotage pattern:
- The Seeker keeps chasing something new instead of finishing what she started.
- The Warrior burns out before she lets herself rest.
- The Guardian over-gives and forgets herself until resentment takes over.
- The Alchemist gets lost in overthinking and never chooses a path.
💫 How to turn self-sabotage into self-awareness — and why compassion, not discipline, is the key.
⚔️ The simple micro habits and mindset shifts that break the sabotage cycle and build self-trust again.
💜 The sacred alchemy: transforming your shadow patterns into strength, freedom, and purpose.
Because self-sabotage isn’t your enemy — it’s your messenger.
It’s showing you where you don’t yet feel safe to succeed, shine, or take up space.
This episode will help you recognize those patterns, reclaim your power, and rise stronger — not by hustling harder, but by healing deeper.
🎧 Listen now and start turning resistance into your next rise.
