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.

    EP199 Neurodivergence at Work: What Needs to Change with Summer Jelinek
    Dec 2 2025

    In this powerful and personal episode, Angela and Sami sit down with speaker, leadership trainer, and PhD researcher Summer Jelinek to talk about what it really means to be neurodivergent in the workplace.

    From masking and burnout to emotional intelligence and late diagnoses, we explore how modern work culture often fails to support neurodivergent thinkers and what we can do about it. Summer shares her journey of being diagnosed with autism later in life and how that led her to research how neurodivergent women lead, mask, and navigate professional spaces differently.

    Sami and Angela get honest about parenting, people-pleasing, crying in the office, and learning to feel your feels without shame. Whether you're neurodivergent yourself, love someone who is, or just want to create a more human-centered workplace, this episode will open your eyes and soften your heart.

    In This Episode

    - What “neurodivergent” really means and why it's more than just ADHD or autism
    - How masking impacts performance, connection, and burnout
    - Why neurodivergent women often go undiagnosed for decades
    - The emotional labor of “being professional” at work
    - How leaders can support team members who think differently
    - Why curiosity beats judgment every time

    If this conversation resonated with you, share it with a friend, a teammate, or your boss. Conversations like these are how we make change.

    🎙️ EP198: Mac & Cheese and Mom Guilt: Let’s Talk About It

    You know that feeling when you're serving up mac & cheese for dinner (again) and thinking, "Am I totally dropping the ball as a parent?" That creeping sense of mom guilt shows up in the quiet moments and the loud ones, making you question if you're doing enough or getting it all wrong.

    In this episode, Angela and Sami are joined by Dr. Juhi, a pediatrician and parent coach, who shares how she went from disconnected and frustrated with her teen to building real connection through small shifts and a lot of grace. Together, they unpack how guilt can hold us hostage and how choosing compassion instead can actually make us better parents.

    Here’s what we talk about:

    • Why mom guilt is so common and how to stop letting it define your days
    • The "awkward, mechanical, natural" framework that makes new habits stick
    • Why setting boundaries doesn't make you a bad parent, it makes you an intentional one
    • How self-care is not optional if you want deeper connection with your kids

    If you're feeling stretched thin, stuck in guilt, or just need a reminder that your parenting doesn't have to be perfect to be powerful, this episode is your permission slip to breathe, reflect, and reconnect.

    This is your reminder that showing up, even imperfectly, is more than enough. You’re not alone.

    When life hits hard—really hard—how do you get back up?

    In this raw and powerful episode, Angela and Sami sit down with Nick Morrison, a former professional bull rider whose life was dramatically altered by more than 50 concussions. From chasing rodeo dreams to losing the ability to speak, Nick’s story is one of unimaginable setbacks and unshakable resilience.

    Nick walks us through the highs of living his dream, the brutal reality of repeated head trauma, and how faith, grit, and a 15-minute rule helped him rebuild again and again. Whether you’re in a season of rebuilding or just feeling knocked around by life, this conversation is a must-listen.

    In this episode:

    • How Nick faced losing multiple identities and found purpose again
    • What it really takes to forgive and let go of bitterness
    • The "15-Minute Rule" that can change how you process hard things
    • Why emotional honesty beats toxic positivity every time
    • How he relearned to speak and now inspires thousands

    This one is for anyone who’s ever thought, “I don’t know if I can keep doing this.”
