Thrive After 45 - Episode 2 | Rewrite Your Success
Welcome back to Thrive After 45! This is the space where we redefine YOU time—for you, by you, because of you. I’m Denise Drinkwalter, a Midlife Renewal Coach, here to help women embrace their power, purpose, and potential.
In this episode, I sit down with Sherrika Sanders, a powerhouse in accounting and leadership with over 15 years of experience navigating high-stakes corporate transitions. From mergers to IPOs, she’s been at the forefront of major financial shifts. But despite climbing the corporate ladder, Sherrika knows the toll of relentless deadlines, limited resources, and the weight of expectations—challenges that often leave women feeling stuck and unfulfilled.
Now, as the CEO and Founder of Transform the Gap, Sherrika is on a mission to be the mentor she once needed. She’s dedicated to helping women of color in accounting embrace their God-given purpose, overcome self-doubt, and create balance between faith, family, and career.
In this powerful conversation, Sherrika shares her journey from corporate burnout to purpose-driven entrepreneurship, how she found the courage to step into her calling, and what it takes to break free from limiting beliefs. If you’ve ever felt torn between success and personal fulfillment, this episode is for you!
🔥 Key Takeaways:
✅ Recognizing the signs of burnout and unfulfillment
✅ Overcoming self-doubt and stepping into leadership
✅ How to advocate for yourself and set boundaries
✅ The power of faith in navigating career transitions

November 2026, I will be hosting a live, in-person experience called IGNITE: The Inner Uprising™.
It is a two-day immersive gathering for 1,200 women in midlife — women who feel the quiet pull toward something more truthful, more embodied, more fully their own.
IGNITE is an extension of these conversations.
It’s where reflection becomes embodiment.
Where insight becomes integration.
Where women who have held so much for others gather to stand fully in their own sovereignty.
If something in today’s conversation stirred you — if your body leaned in — that is NOT accidental.
The waitlist is now open.
If IGNITE feels like something your future self would thank you for, I invite you to add your name here.
