Be Freaking Awesome Podcast
Tired of surface-level conversations and sugar-coated advice? You’re in the right place.
Be Freaking Awesome is not your average personal growth podcast. Hosted by Angela and Sami, an insightful mother-daughter duo with a gift for keeping it real, this is the space where authenticity, emotional intelligence, and radical self-awareness come together.
We’re not here just to inspire you. We’re here to equip you with tools, stories, and soul-level truths that will help you grow in the real world, not some Pinterest-perfect version of it.
Each week, we open up the real stuff: the messy middles, the limiting beliefs, the grief we never processed, the boundaries we were never taught to hold, and the dreams we’re still afraid to say out loud. From navigating burnout and setting healthy boundaries to healing your relationship with money and learning how to sit with hard emotions, we go deep and we do it with compassion, humor, and zero judgment.
This show is especially for the big-feeling, high-achieving, people-pleasing, growth-obsessed folks who are ready to stop pretending they’ve got it all together and actually start living aligned. If you've ever said, “I know there’s more for me,” or “I’m tired of carrying all this alone,” this podcast was made for you.
We bring two generations of experience, two distinct but complementary perspectives, and one shared mission: to help you stop settling, start healing, and live a freaking awesome life.
You’ll hear from a mix of powerful guests including trauma-informed financial coaches, creatives who turned pain into purpose, and business leaders with heart. We also share solo and co-hosted episodes where we dive into our own struggles and triumphs from the therapy room to the boardroom to our own kitchen table.
We’re not into quick fixes or perfectionism. We’re into progress, emotional regulation, nervous system safety, redefining success, and showing up with more courage, joy, and clarity than you ever thought possible.
No matter where you are on your journey, whether you’re starting over, in transition, building something bold, or just feeling a little lost, we’re here to remind you that you are not broken, you are not too much, and you are capable of far more than you’ve been led to believe.
Take a breath. Hit play. And get ready to do the deep work of becoming who you were always meant to be.
This is your space to grow, heal, laugh, cry, question, and transform. Because life’s too short to settle for anything less than freaking awesome.

EP 167 The Confidence Crisis in Leadership (And How to Fix It)
Struggling to lead with confidence? You’re not alone. Whether it shows up as micromanaging, burnout, or saying yes to too much, a lack of confidence can quietly undermine even the most capable leaders.
In this episode, Angela and Sami sit down with leadership strategist and speaker Therese Gopaul-Robinson for a powerful conversation about what confidence really is—and why it’s way more than just a personal mindset issue. From micromanaging and burnout to team culture and career growth, Therese unpacks how low confidence shows up in our leadership—and what to do when it’s holding you (and your team) back.
Whether you’re leading a company, a team, or your own life, this conversation will challenge how you think about confidence—and give you practical steps to build more of it.
💡 What We Talk About:
- What low confidence really looks like in leaders (hint: it’s not what you think)
- Why female leaders often feel overwhelmed—and how to stop over-working
- What micromanaging says about your own insecurities

- How to delegate with trust instead of fear
📘 What You’ll Learn:
