In 2023, Christine Clyne-Spraker – health tech co-CEO, mother, and wife – decided to listen to the voice that was not so gently nudging her and make a drastic change. Despite her incredible personal and professional accomplishments, the accolades she had worked years to receive were no longer serving her the way her younger self had hoped. Well-intentioned childhood patterning and years of chasing success defined by society standards pushed Christine to showcase perfectionism in every aspect of her life. These realities were actually holding her back from the life she dreamed of, and deserved. After much deliberation and reflection, Christine made incredibly brave – and at times, surprising – life changes that empowered her to shed perfectionism to explore her individuality, truth, and authentic self. The result unlocked her true Being – and Freedom.
