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.

EP158 Why Purpose Doesn’t Have to Be Profound (or Permanent) with Amy Zastrow
❓ Ever felt stuck because you think your purpose has to be BIG, life-altering, and crystal clear? What if we told you that’s a total myth?
In this episode of Be Freaking Awesome, we’re talking all things purpose with Amy Zastrow, business impact strategist and speaker. And spoiler alert: your purpose doesn’t have to be grand, world-changing, or set in stone forever.
Instead, we’re breaking it down into something simple, real, and actually helpful—so you can start living with purpose today, without the existential crisis.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why you don’t find your purpose—you claim it
- How purpose can (and should) evolve over time
- The biggest misconceptions that keep people stuck
- Why your purpose doesn’t have to be world-changing to be meaningful
- Practical ways to figure out what truly drives you
We also get real about why the idea of “being of service to others” can sometimes rankle us (yes, we said rankle) and what to do when your purpose feels like it's constantly shifting.
