About 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.

   EP244 How to Tell What's Covertly Running Your Life

   Send us Fan Mail You had the idea. You felt the words forming. And then you watched the moment pass while you waited to see which way the room was leaning. Afterward you told yourself it was timing. It wasn't timing. Something much older was deciding for you. Last week Sami and Angela talked about why the word "beliefs" doesn't quite land, even though the patterns underneath it are running the show. This week they get practical. They walk through the seven belief themes that tend to show up a...

   EP243 How a Bad Day in Seventh Grade Still Runs Your Life

   Send us Fan Mail You don't think you have limiting beliefs. Most people don't. You're not walking around consciously telling yourself you're not enough, or that nobody can be trusted, or that you have to do everything alone. But ask what happens the second you make a mistake. What's the voice in your head? Is it kind? Or does it tear you apart? That's the tell. This week Sami and Angela get into why the term "limiting beliefs" doesn't actually land with most people, even though the patterns u...

   EP242 How to Stop Handing People the Remote Control to Your Emotions

   Send us Fan Mail You know the feeling. Someone says one thing in a meeting and you're still pacing the hallway twenty minutes later. Your family leaves their socks on the floor for the hundredth time and suddenly it feels like a referendum on whether they respect you. You snap, you spiral, you rehearse the argument in the shower. And afterward you wonder, was any of that actually worth it? This week Sami and Angela get into what emotional resilience actually looks like day to day, not the ver...

EP115 How to Work Within Your Family Business with Denise & Javan Hamilton

Published 16 Apr 2024 · Transcript excerpt

[…] I did it for a lot of years, but I think I really love this, this idea that our take on the family business idea, um, if you have the right balance and the right boundaries is magical. Hmm. I love that. So we've all done our kumbaya. Yay. These are the positive. Here's the negative. But let's be real. There's conflict. If you're in relationship with a human, we're going to have some conflict. So what are some tips and tricks that you guys have learned for kind of managing conflict? And did you was it real prescriptive? Did you decide in advance or did you, you know, have you just figured it out as you've gone away, gone along? […]
