Goddess Got Goals
Welcome to Goddess Got Goals — the podcast for women who are ready to stop shrinking, stop hustling, and start rising into their next chapter with strength, clarity, and sacred fire.
I’m your host, Lisa Barwise — Wellness Alchemist and Summoner of the Warrior Goddess SAGA — and I’m here to guide you through the powerful transformation that happens in midlife. This isn’t about surviving perimenopause or just “getting healthy.” It’s about rewriting your story, reclaiming your power, and rising as the Warrior Goddess you were always meant to be.
Each week, you’ll learn how to activate Wellness Alchemy — the integration of biology, psychology, and spirituality— to support your evolution from the inside out. Through bold conversations, practical strategies, ancient wisdom, and a bit of magical rebellion.
Whether you’re here to build a stronger body, break free from old stories, reclaim your voice, or embody your most powerful self — this is your initiation. Your reawakening. Your call to rise.
Because Goddess Got Goals.

181: The Weight Workouts Can’t Touch: Armour Weight™ & the Cost of Survival
There’s a kind of weight no workout, diet, or discipline can touch.
In this episode, Lisa Barwise introduces Armour Weight™ — the physical, hormonal, emotional, and energetic weight women carry after years of survival, over-giving, and pushing through.
If you’ve been doing “everything right” but still feel stuck, heavy, exhausted, or disconnected — this conversation will change how you understand your body.
In this episode, we explore:
- What Armour Weight™ actually is (and why it’s not fat, failure, or lack of willpower)
- Why women stay stuck despite training, eating well, and “trying harder”
- The link between burnout, perimenopause, shame, and people-pleasing
- How chronic stress and survival mode reshape the body and metabolism
- Why willpower tightens armour — and what actually releases it
- Lisa’s personal story of burnout, vertigo, COVID, pressure, and coming home to herself
- The nervous system as the missing link in lasting transformation
“Some weight lives on the body.
Some weight lives in the bones.”
This episode is an invitation to stop fighting your body — and start listening to it.
