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.

EP164 How to Build a Connected Life with Adam Dorsay
In part two of our conversation with psychologist and author Dr. Adam Dorsay, we’re diving into how to build connection—not just feel it. This episode is all about friendship, chosen family, and why adult connection often needs more intention (and less perfection) than we think.
Angela, Sami, and Adam explore the vulnerability of reaching out, the reality of feeling lonely in a busy world, and the beauty of showing up for the people who matter. From voice texts to Google Sheets to hammocking over creeks (you’ll get it when you listen), this conversation is packed with practical ways to create more closeness in your everyday life.
If you’ve ever wondered how to go from “we should hang out” to “this person is my person”—this episode is for you.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why adult friendship takes effort—and why it’s worth it
- The different levels of connection (and how to go deeper)
- How “quests” can bring magic and meaning into relationships
- Why perceived support is just as powerful as real support
- How to bring more fun, awe, and intention into your connections
Key Takeaways:
- Reconnection starts with a single reach-out
- You don’t need more friends, just more realness
- Awkwardness is the cost of meaningful friendship—pay it anyway
- Time is your most non-renewable resource—spend it wisely
