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.

Things That Freaked Me Out in My 40s (That Were Actually Perimenopause)
Can we talk about the symptoms nobody bloody warned us about?
Not hot flushes.
The weird stuff.
The things that send you into a late-night Google spiral convinced you're either:
😳 dying
😵 losing your mind
🤦♀️ developing some mystery illness from 1842
In this episode of Goddess Got Goals, Lisa dives into some of the stranger symptoms women experience in their 40s and beyond—and why so many women end up feeling confused, dismissed and completely alone.
Inside we'll talk about:
⚔️ Heart palpitations and those "what the hell is happening?" moments
⚔️ Anxiety, intrusive thoughts and feeling emotionally unlike yourself
⚔️ Itching, sweating and random body weirdness
⚔️ Strange pains no one seems to talk about
⚔️ Armour Weight™ — the heaviness, exhaustion and fatigue that makes things that used to feel easy suddenly feel hard
⚔️ Why women are often left trying to become detectives in their own bodies
⚔️ Why community, support and hearing "me too" matters more than we realise
Because sometimes the scariest part isn't the symptom.
It's feeling like you're the only one experiencing it.
🔥 If you've been listening thinking "bloody hell... that's me" then drop MAP and join the waitlist for Sexy Strong: The Island — where Warrior Goddesses from around the world become stronger together.
Because nobody should have to figure out midlife alone.
