What if the perfect life you've been striving for is the very thing holding you back?

Christine Clyne-Spraker, author of Unwinding Perfect and former co-CEO of a best-in-class healthcare technology company, Eon, joins the podcast today to talk about her book, Unwinding Perfect.

Christine shares her journey from being a serial people-pleaser to choosing herself, leaving a high-powered career, and embracing imperfection. Her story is a reminder that true joy and contentment come from within, not from external validation or societal expectations. Through reflection, spiritual growth, and hard decisions, Christine discovered the importance of letting go of control, overcoming fear, and redefining success. 

If you're ready to stop living for others and step into the life you truly desire, this episode is for you.

  • Christine's journey to unwinding perfection and embracing imperfection.
  • The impact of childhood dynamics on identity and self-worth.
  • Breaking free from societal expectations and learning to choose yourself.
