Goddess Got Goals
Hosted by Lisa Barwise · EN
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.

Instead, she uncovers the hidden patterns, subconscious beliefs and protective behaviours that quietly shape our decisions every single day.Drawing on neuroscience, psychology and the principles of Wellness Alchemy™, this episode reveals why awareness—not self-criticism—is often the first step towards lasting transformation.Because before you can change a pattern...You first have to see it.In This Episode⚔️ Why information alone doesn't create transformation⚔️ How your brain uses patterns to keep you safe⚔️ Pavlov, associative learning and why experiences become beliefs⚔️ The Wellness Alchemy™ framework: Experience → Meaning → Belief → Behaviour → Identity⚔️ Why many forms of self-sabotage are actually self-protection⚔️ The connection between subconscious beliefs, Armour Weight™ and the mind-body connection⚔️ Why midlife doesn't create these patterns—it reveals themKey TakeawayYou're not failing because you lack discipline.Many of the behaviours that frustrate you today were once intelligent ways of protecting yourself.Transformation begins when you stop asking, "What's wrong with me?" and start asking, "Where did this pattern come from?"Favourite Quote"You can't change a pattern until you can see it."Resources Mentioned📖 Burned – Discover the hidden stories, inherited beliefs and subconscious patterns that quietly shape our lives.👉 Buy the book: https://thewarriorgoddesssaga.com🔮 Join the FREE Witch Work SeriesA six-part live companion series to Burned, exploring the unconscious patterns, inherited beliefs and protective behaviours that quietly shape our lives.Because awareness always comes before change.Ready to Go Deeper?If today's episode resonated with you, the Curse Breaker Series is where we'll go beyond recognising the patterns and begin learning how to change them.More details coming soon.Be sure to connect with Lisa Barwise and Warrior Goddess Kettlebell Training on social media:Instagram@lisa_barwise@wgkettlebelltrainingFacebookwww.facebook.com/warriorgoddesskettlebelltrainingYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/warriorgoddesskettlebelltrainingWhat you can do to help the Podcast?If this podcast means anything to you and you want to support it.
