Be Freaking Awesome Podcast
Tired of surface-level conversations and sugar-coated advice? You’re in the right place. The Be Freaking Awesome podcast is where real transformation happens—no fluff, no B.S., just raw, honest conversations that challenge you to step into your most authentic, powerful self. If you’re ready to stop playing small, rewire your mindset, and take bold action toward the life you actually want, this podcast is for you.
Hosted by Angela and Sami, a mother-daughter duo with a passion for personal growth, this show is all about real talk and real results. We bring two perspectives, two generations, and one shared mission: to empower you to harness fear, build resilience, and create lasting confidence. Whether you're navigating big life changes, pursuing a dream, or just trying to feel more like yourself again, we’re here to remind you: you are capable of so much more than you think.
Expect a mix of inspiring solo episodes, powerful guest interviews, and candid conversations where we don’t hold back. We tackle topics like overcoming self-doubt, cultivating courage, redefining success, and embracing authenticity—because let’s be honest, trying to fit into someone else’s version of success is exhausting.
Through humor, honesty, and hard-earned wisdom, we tackle topics like overcoming self-doubt, cultivating courage, redefining success, and embracing authenticity. No more waiting for the “perfect” moment. No more second-guessing yourself. It’s time to step fully into your purpose and live a life that feels aligned, fulfilling, and freaking awesome.
If you're ready to elevate your mindset, transform your habits, and show up for yourself in ways you never have before, hit play and join us. This is your space to grow, to be challenged, and to be reminded that you are more powerful than you realize.
Let’s do this—because life is too short to settle for anything less than freaking awesome.

EP166 Law of Attraction Isn’t Magic—It’s Neuroscience (Here’s How It Works)
This week, Angela’s back on her soapbox—and we are here for it. She and Sami take us on a deep (and sometimes hilarious) dive into why vision boards, affirmations, and goal-setting strategies work better when you understand the brain behind them.
Spoiler: it’s not about manifesting magic. It’s about your Reticular Activating System—the part of your brain that filters what you notice based on what you believe. And once you understand how it works, you can start intentionally reprogramming it to support the life you actually want.
💡 What We Talk About:
- What the Reticular Activating System is and why it matters
- How your beliefs shape what you notice (and ignore)
- The real reason vision boards and affirmations can be powerful
- Angela’s “day in the life” exercise—and how it quietly came true
📘 What You’ll Learn:
- How to use neuroscience to support lasting personal growth
- A new approach to goal-setting rooted in identity, not hustle
- Why rewiring your brain starts with repetition, not willpower
- How to start noticing evidence of the life you want—right now
