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.

Why Everything Feels Worse Right Now (It’s Not Just Your Hormones)
If you’ve been feeling more tired, more anxious, more inflamed…
like your body just isn’t responding the way it used to…
This episode is for you.
Because it’s not just perimenopause.
And it’s not because you’re doing something wrong.
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
- Why symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, pain and weight gain can feel worse right now
- What’s actually happening in your body during perimenopause (in a simple, real way)
- How stress, tension and years of “holding it all together” are impacting your nervous system
- Why things that used to work… don’t anymore
- And why pushing harder is making it worse (not better)
We also go deeper into something that doesn’t get talked about enough:
How the world has changed over the last few years…
and how that’s impacting women, especially in midlife, on a nervous system level.
If you’ve been feeling like you’ve disappeared a bit from yourself…
This will help you understand why, and what to do about it.
