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.

202: 5 Reasons Insulin Resistance Is Making Your Menopause Symptoms Worse
Most women are told menopause symptoms are caused by falling hormones.
But what if that's only part of the story?
In this episode, Lisa explores one of the most overlooked drivers of weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, poor sleep and hormonal chaos in menopause: insulin resistance.
Could menopause be exposing a metabolic problem that has been building for years?
Could the symptoms you're blaming on hormones actually have a deeper root cause?
And why are so many women struggling more than ever before?
In this episode you'll discover:
⚔️ Why insulin resistance often goes undiagnosed for years
⚔️ The surprising link between metabolism and menopause symptoms
⚔️ What inflammation, muscle loss and blood sugar have to do with how you feel
⚔️ Why many women are focusing on the wrong problem
⚔️ The hidden cost of losing muscle in midlife
⚔️ What your body is really asking for during menopause
And most importantly...
What you can do about it.
Because menopause didn't break you.
It may simply be exposing what was already there.
