from Freedom Lifestyle · host Sam Laliberte

A deeply personal reflection on digital relationships, unexpected loss, and the legacy we leave behind when we live fully — at any age.For three years, I coached April Pruitt — a late-blooming dreamer in her 60s who traded a career in finance for a new creative chapter. Together, we launched her podcast, celebrated her first paid voiceover gig, and laughed through tech struggles and cat cameos on Zoom.Then suddenly… she was gone.WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE It’s never too late to start: April launched a podcast and began a voice acting career at 68.Coaching is more than strategy: It’s about holding space, believing in someone, and watching them grow.Digital bonds are just as real — You can grieve someone you never met in person.Grief can show up in unexpected places: Losing a client might not seem like a big deal… until it is.About the show:Sam Laliberte -  entrepreneur, digital nomad and freedom seeker, hosts the Freedom Lifestyle Podcast to expose people to the many ways you can design your dream life and unlock your own version of the freedom lifestyle. Her guests have empowered themselves through flexible work as a way to “have it all” - financial, location AND schedule freedom.
