This episode focuses on something we often struggle with—finding and owning our authentic voice, especially in negotiations.
I had an incredible conversation with Christine Spraker, a former health tech co-CEO, who made some big life changes that might surprise you. Despite reaching amazing heights in her career, Christine realized that perfectionism and people-pleasing were holding her back from the life she truly deserved. Sound familiar? Yeah, I think a lot of us can relate!
In this episode, Christine shares how she made the bold decision to walk away from a successful career, embrace her true self, and rewrite the rules of success on her own terms. We dive into the importance of negotiating not just for salary, but for your worth—as a woman, as a leader, and as a person.
If you’ve ever felt hesitant about asking for what you deserve or if you’re constantly striving for perfection at work (and at home), Christine’s story will inspire you to rethink what’s truly important. We also talk about practical strategies for being more visible, staying true to your values, and learning to stand your ground in any negotiation.
By the end of this episode, I hope you’ll feel empowered to show up as your authentic self and go after the career—and life—you really want.

About Christine:
In 2022, Christine Clyne-Spraker – health tech co-CEO, mother, and wife – decided to listen to the voice that had been not so gently nudging her and make drastic changes.
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. But these realities were actually holding her back from the life she dreamed of and deserved. Christine began a self-discovery journey that empowered her to shed perfectionism and to then explore her individuality, truth, and authentic self.
Through this new lens, and after much deliberation and reflection, Christine made incredibly brave – and at times, misunderstood – life changes. The result unlocked her true Being – and Freedom. Christine is now the best-selling author of Unwinding Perfect, a personal memoir for anyone who is seeking more in life,and founder of co-foundHer, a boutique advisory and investment firm.
