201: If I had to start again

🎙️ EPISODE 201: IF I HAD TO START AGAIN... What if we stopped waiting? Waiting for Monday. Waiting for more motivation. Waiting for life to calm down. In this episode, I share exactly what I would focus on if I were starting over today—feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, carrying extra weight, managing injuries, or simply unsure where to begin. This isn't about dieting harder or finding more willpower. It's about rebuilding from the foundations up. Creating safety. Building capacity. Finding momentum. And becoming the woman capable of creating lasting change. In This Episode: ⚔️ Why most women start in the wrong place ⚔️ The first thing I'd focus on before food, exercise or fat loss ⚔️ Why nervous system safety matters ⚔️ Movement before training ⚔️ The simple habits that create momentum ⚔️ Why the kettlebell was never the secret ⚔️ How to stop starting over every Monday ⚔️ The biggest lie women tell themselves about "not having time" ⚔️ The lesson I learned from losing both of my parents young ⚔️ Why nobody is coming to give you permission to put yourself on the list Because maybe the goal isn't to become smaller. Maybe the goal is to become stronger. 🏝️ Join the waitlist for Sexy Strong: The Island. www.warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining.com/island The shoreline is appearing. The map will be dropped soon.

TTT45: 3 Things I Would STOP Doing If I Wanted To Lose Belly Fat Over 40

TTT45: 3 Things I Would STOP Doing If I Wanted To Lose Belly Fat Over 40 Everyone seems to have an opinion about belly fat in midlife. Eat less. Move more. Count calories. Track macros. Buy the supplement. Balance your hormones. Try the latest hack. But what if some of the advice women are following is actually keeping them stuck? In this week's Top Tip Thursday episode, Lisa shares three things she'd stop doing immediately if her goal was to lose belly fat over 40. Along the way, she challenges some of the biggest myths in the fitness and menopause industries, explores why so many women feel like they're doing everything right without seeing results, and reveals the question most women should be asking instead. Plus... Lisa hints at the one hormone that may be having a bigger impact on your body composition than most women realise—and why almost nobody is talking about it. If you're tired of starting over every Monday, frustrated by stubborn belly fat, or wondering why what used to work no longer does... This episode is for you. ⚔️ Because Warrior Goddesses don't build health through restriction. They build it through understanding. In This Episode: ⚔️ The midlife fat loss advice Lisa wishes more women would ignore ⚔️ Why focusing on "burning fat" might be the wrong goal ⚔️ The hidden reason so many women struggle to create lasting results ⚔️ The hormone conversation nobody seems to be having ⚔️ A different way to think about body composition, strength and long-term health 🏝️ Ready for more?

200: Discover the #1 Fat Loss Hormone (And What the Fitness Industry Gets Wrong)

Discover the #1 Fat Loss Hormone (And What the Fitness Industry Gets Wrong) Women over 40 have been told for decades: eat less move more fear carbs buy low fat everything snack every 2-3 hours do more cardio track every calorie …and then blamed themselves when their body stopped responding. But what if the problem isn’t that women are lazy or lack discipline? What if the fitness industry has been focusing on the wrong thing entirely? In this episode of Goddess Got Goals, Lisa dives into one of the biggest hormones involved in fat storage, cravings, energy and stubborn belly fat: insulin. This is not a “carbs are bad” podcast. It’s a deeper conversation about: ✨ blood sugar chaos ✨ ultra processed foods ✨ stress and modern eating patterns ✨ why women feel exhausted and stuck ✨ the problem with low fat diet culture ✨ why so many women are under-muscled and over-stressed ✨ how the wellness industry profits from women staying small, distracted and disconnected from themselves Lisa also introduces the foundations of the Forged Method™ and why strength, nourishment, recovery and metabolic flexibility matter so much in midlife. Because this was never just about losing weight. It’s about reclaiming your energy, confidence, health and power.
