If you’re ready to stop playing small, rewire your mindset, and take bold action toward the life you actually want, this podcast is for you.
Hosted by Angela and Sami, a mother-daughter duo with a passion for personal growth, this show is all about real talk and real results. We bring two perspectives, two generations, and one shared mission: to empower you to harness fear, build resilience, and create lasting confidence. Whether you're navigating big life changes, pursuing a dream, or just trying to feel more like yourself again, we’re here to remind you: you are capable of so much more than you think.
Expect a mix of inspiring solo episodes, powerful guest interviews, and candid conversations where we don’t hold back. We tackle topics like overcoming self-doubt, cultivating courage, redefining success, and embracing authenticity—because let’s be honest, trying to fit into someone else’s version of success is exhausting.
Through humor, honesty, and hard-earned wisdom, we tackle topics like overcoming self-doubt, cultivating courage, redefining success, and embracing authenticity. No more waiting for the “perfect” moment. No more second-guessing yourself. It’s time to step fully into your purpose and live a life that feels aligned, fulfilling, and freaking awesome.
If you're ready to elevate your mindset, transform your habits, and show up for yourself in ways you never have before, hit play and join us. This is your space to grow, to be challenged, and to be reminded that you are more powerful than you realize.
Let’s do this—because life is too short to settle for anything less than freaking awesome.

EP162 The League of Women Voters Spotlight: Democracy in Action
Ever feel like politics is just too messy, too partisan, or too overwhelming to even try to get involved? We get it. But what if there was a way to protect democracy, empower voters, and make a real impact—without the drama?
This week on Be Freaking Awesome, we’re joining the global Podcasthon Movement to highlight an organization that’s been fighting for democracy since 1920—the League of Women Voters.
Angela, a dedicated volunteer and board member, shares her journey with the League, the real ways they hold the government accountable (spoiler: lawsuits and policy wins included), and how YOU can get involved—no political expertise required.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
- What is a Podcasthon? (Hint: Think modern telethon, but for awareness & impact!)
- How the League of Women Voters is nonpartisan—yes, REALLY.
- The hidden ways your local government impacts your daily life (and why showing up matters).
- The League’s biggest wins—including lawsuits that have changed communities.
- How you can easily get involved: whether it’s registering voters, learning about candidates, or just showing up.
Why This Matters:
Politics isn’t just about Washington D.C. What happens locally impacts our daily lives, from schools to roads to community laws. But here’s the good news—you don’t have to be an expert to make a difference.
This episode is your guide to becoming an informed, empowered citizen—without the drama, misinformation, or feeling like it’s “not for you.”
