The Journey Beyond Perfect
Interview with Christine Clyne-Spraker, author of Unwinding Perfect, and founder of boutique advisory and investment firm, co-foundHer. Christine shares her transformative journey from being a high-achieving perfectionist and people-pleaser to embracing vulnerability, spirituality, and authentic self-expression.
Despite her impressive accomplishments, Christine realized that the accolades she had tirelessly pursued were no longer fulfilling. Driven by well-intentioned childhood conditioning and societal definitions of success, she found herself in a hamster wheel of chasing achievements. This relentless pursuit, however, was holding her back from the life she truly desired.
In 2023, Christine made the courageous decision to listen to her inner voice and initiate profound changes. She stepped away from her executive role, decided to get a divorce, and embarked on a path of self-discovery. Through embracing vulnerability, engaging in spiritual exploration, and confronting difficult conversations, Christine began to shed the layers of perfectionism that had defined her.
Her journey led her to learn the power of speaking her truth and reconnect with her authentic self. The result was a profound sense of freedom and a life aligned with her true essence.
We invite you to listen and ask yourself:
- Are you chasing perfection to prove your worth?
- What definitions of success have you inherited, and do they truly serve you?
- Are you avoiding difficult conversations that could actually deepen your relationships with those you love ?
Let Christine's journey inspire you to reflect on your own path toward authenticity and fulfillment.

Christine Spraker
Entrepreneur, CEO, Founder, Investor, & Best Selling Author
As a recovering people-pleaser, Christine has spent the last decade unwinding childhood conditioning and patterned behaviors that kept her from stepping into her highest self. While presenting perfect to the world led to much professional success, Christine found herself at a crossroads when she realized what she was really seeking was depth, communion, and the true purpose of her life. Married, with two children, Christine was co-CEO of a healthcare technology company that she helped build from the ground up. Professional and material success abounded, but inside, Christine was beginning to awake to the fact that she simply was not happy and knew there was more. More depth, more purpose, more connection. It wasn't rational, but she knew she needed to make drastic changes, which included separating from her husband and resigning from the business she loved dearly. Christine's journey to reconnect with her true self led to authoring a best-selling book, Unwinding Perfect, and founding boutique advisory and investment firm, co-foundHer, which focuses on helping capital efficient founders advancing the lives of women.
