Description:

There’s a kind of weight no workout, diet, or discipline can touch.

In this episode, Lisa Barwise introduces Armour Weight™ — the physical, hormonal, emotional, and energetic weight women carry after years of survival, over-giving, and pushing through.

If you’ve been doing “everything right” but still feel stuck, heavy, exhausted, or disconnected — this conversation will change how you understand your body.

In this episode, we explore:

  • What Armour Weight™ actually is (and why it’s not fat, failure, or lack of willpower)
  • Why women stay stuck despite training, eating well, and “trying harder”
  • The link between burnout, perimenopause, shame, and people-pleasing
  • How chronic stress and survival mode reshape the body and metabolism
  • Why willpower tightens armour — and what actually releases it
  • Lisa’s personal story of burnout, vertigo, COVID, pressure, and coming home to herself
  • The nervous system as the missing link in lasting transformation
“Some weight lives on the body.
Some weight lives in the bones.”


This episode is an invitation to stop fighting your body — and start listening to it.
