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.

EP228 When Beliefs Show Up at a New Level
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You did the work. You went to therapy. You did the coaching. You identified the belief. You thought you had handled it. And then one day it shows back up, like an uninvited guest who didn't get the memo. If you've ever looked at something coming up in your life and thought "wait, I already dealt with this" — this episode is for you.
This week Sami and Angela pull back the curtain on one of the most disorienting parts of personal growth: the moment you realize healing isn't a finish line you cross. It's a process that spirals deeper as your life, your success, and your circumstances grow. They dig into why beliefs don't just disappear after one round of work, what it actually means to "feel your feelings" (and why so many of us are terrible at it), and why hitting a new level of life sometimes means unearthing a belief you thought was long buried. In this episode, they get into:
- Why doing the work once doesn't mean you're done with a belief forever
- What it looks like when a belief you never knew you had suddenly activates
- How the stories we make up as kids quietly shape what we believe about ourselves as adults
- Permission to still be in progress, even after years of growth
- Why your nervous system's response to overwhelm is not a character flaw
Angela gets real about an unexpected season of anger and what her therapist told her about grief she was sure she'd already resolved. Sami shares how the belief "I have what it takes" wasn't even on her radar until she became a business owner, and how her childhood impressions of what entrepreneurship looks like have quietly been running in the background. They also get into the Peter stories (yes, the bunnies) and why a four-year-old's explanation for where the dad bunny went is actually a perfect illustration of how all of us make sense of the world.
What you'll take away from this episode isn't a five-step plan. It's something better: the relief of knowing that having to revisit something doesn't mean you failed. It means you're growing. The roots of your tree are going deeper. And the contaminated water that used to stop you doesn't have to stop you this time.
Press play. You've probably been carrying something that needs to hear this today.
