Ep. 87 Evolving in Midlife: Rediscovering Purpose and Power w/ EvolveMe’s Judy Schoenberg and Linda Lautenberg

August 08, 2025 • Heidi Schalk • Episode 87

In today’s episode, I’m joined by the inspiring co-founders of EvolveMe, Judy Schoenberg and Linda Lautenberg, two powerhouse women who are redefining what it looks like to pivot and thrive in midlife. From Wall Street to caregiving to coaching, their journeys are full of honesty, reinvention, and purpose. We talk about the realities of returning to work after a break, the identity shifts that come with career transitions, and the incredible D.A.R.E. Method that’s changing women’s lives across the country. If you’ve ever felt like it was too late to start over, this conversation will prove otherwise.
