April 2nd is Soundings Professional Freedom™ Day: A Celebration of Career Independence for All

By Tracy Judge, CEO & Founder of Soundings

April 2nd: A Day to Celebrate Professional Freedom™ 

On April 2nd, 2018, I made a life-changing decision—I left behind the traditional corporate path and founded Soundings. That day wasn’t just about starting a business; it was about embracing a new way of working, one where flexibility, autonomy, and passion took priority. 

But this isn’t just my story. Soundings is about something much bigger. 

It’s about every professional who has taken control of their career. It’s about the independent workers, freelancers, consultants, entrepreneurs, and teams who believe that success isn’t measured by hours clocked in an office but by the ability to build a fulfilling career that integrates seamlessly with the life they want. 

That’s why I’m launching Soundings Professional Freedom Day—a day to celebrate your journey, your freedom, and your future. 

What is Professional Freedom™? 

At Soundings, we believe Professional Freedom™ is the ability to: 

✔️ Have control over your career—choosing work that aligns with your goals and values. 

✔️ Make decisions about your path—without being confined to a rigid corporate structure. 

✔️ Access meaningful opportunities—without barriers limiting your potential. 

✔️ Create work-life integration—so your career supports the holistic life you love. 

✔️ Do work that energizes you—because true success comes from passion, not just a paycheck. 

Soundings was built on the idea that work should empower, not restrict. We exist to connect talented professionals with opportunities that allow them to thrive on their own terms—whether that means finding flexible project-based work, launching a consulting career, or growing a business. 

For many, Professional Freedom™ isn’t something that happens overnight. It’s a journey—one that starts with a moment of clarity, a bold decision, or even a small step toward a career that aligns with your values and lifestyle. 

What’s Your Professional Freedom Day? 

We all have a moment—the day we realized we could take ownership of our careers and build something meaningful. 

For some, it’s the day they left a corporate job to start something new. 

For others, it’s when they landed their first consulting gig, took on a leadership role, or redefined their career priorities. 

Sometimes, it’s the first time they said no to work that didn’t serve them. 

Whatever that moment is for you, we want to celebrate it.
