207: I Am Not Worthy: The Hidden Identity Behind Low Self-Esteem

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2179976/fan_mail/new] How Your Subconscious Turns Experiences into Identity Have you ever described yourself as having low self-esteem? I did. Which is strange when you consider I speak on stages, teach kettlebells, write books and have never been afraid to challenge the status quo. So what if low self-esteem isn't actually the problem? In this episode, I explore the hidden belief that shaped my own life, why so many women spend their lives trying to earn their worth, and how our subconscious turns childhood experiences into identity. We'll also dive into one of the central ideas from my new book, Burned: the inherited stories that taught generations of women where their value comes from—and why so many of us are still living by those rules today. If you've ever wondered... * Why do I keep people pleasing? * Why do I never feel enough? * Why do I keep chasing the next achievement? * Why can't I just believe I'm worthy? ...this episode is for you. In This Episode * Why low self-esteem is often the symptom, not the problem. * The hidden identity driving self-sabotage. * How women learn to earn their worth. * Where "I'm not worthy" shows up in everyday life. * The four ways women wear Armour Weight™. Favourite Quote > "Maybe you've never had low self-esteem at all. Maybe you've simply spent a lifetime trying to earn a worth that was yours from the moment you were born."

206: Why You Know What To Do... But Still Don't Do It

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2179976/fan_mail/new] The Hidden Psychology Behind Behaviour Change If you've ever found yourself saying... "I know what I need to do... so why can't I seem to do it?" This episode is for you. In this conversation, Lisa explores why behaviour change isn't simply about willpower, motivation or discipline. 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 them Key Takeaway You'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."

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2179976/fan_mail/new] Witch Work #2: The Witch Wound | Finding Your Voice Why do so many women find it easier to stay quiet than speak their truth? In this week's Witch Work, we explore the Witch Wound—the inherited fear of being judged, rejected or punished for taking up space, speaking out or being fully seen. This isn't about history alone. It's about the unconscious beliefs that still shape the way many women communicate today. The hesitation before speaking. The apology before expressing an opinion. The fear of being "too much." If you've ever wondered why finding your voice feels so difficult, this episode will help you understand why. Because once you understand the pattern... you can begin to change it. In This Episode *  What the Witch Wound really is  *  How inherited beliefs shape our voice and visibility  *  Why staying quiet can feel safer than speaking up  *  The first question to begin recognising your own patterns  Mentioned in this Episode 📖 Burned – The companion book to the Witch Work series, exploring the psychology, history and hidden patterns that continue to shape women's lives. https://warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining.com/burned/ [https://warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining.com/burned/] 🗣️ The Guardian Quest: The Witch Wound – A deeper dive into voice, visibility and reclaiming your authentic expression. https://join.warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining.com/guardian/ [https://join.warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining.com/guardian/] 💙 Throat Chakra Meditation – A guided practice to help release the fear of speaking your truth and reconnect with your voice. https://join.warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining.com/throat-chakra-meditation/ [https://join.warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining.com/throat-chakra-meditation/] 🔮 Join the FREE Witch Work Series – Live every Tuesday inside the Warrior Goddess Tribe, with podcast replays released each week. https://warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining.com/tribe/ [https://warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining.com/tribe/] If this episode resonates with you, follow the podcast, leave a review, and share it with another woman who is ready to find her voice.

205: Collagen in Midlife: Miracle Supplement or Marketing Hype?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2179976/fan_mail/new] Collagen has become one of the biggest wellness trends of the last few years—but is it really worth the investment? In this episode, Lisa dives into the science behind collagen and explores what actually happens to our connective tissues during perimenopause and menopause. From skin and joints to tendons, fascia, gut health and healthy ageing, you'll discover where collagen fits into the bigger picture—and where it doesn't. Because healthy ageing isn't about chasing miracle supplements. It's about building a body that's strong, resilient and capable for decades to come. In This Episode ⚔️ Why collagen production naturally declines as we age ⚔️ The impact of menopause and oestrogen on collagen ⚔️ The role collagen plays in your skin, joints, tendons, fascia and gut ⚔️ Why collagen isn't a replacement for dietary protein ⚔️ The connection between collagen, strength training and healthy ageing ⚔️ What the research really says—and where the marketing gets it wrong Key Takeaway Collagen isn't a miracle supplement—but it may be a valuable addition to your healthy ageing toolkit. The foundations will always be strength training, adequate protein, quality sleep, movement and recovery. Collagen simply helps support those foundations.
