Project Description
Karianne is an artist and nurturer who empowers women to embrace their beauty and strength through photography and speaking. After leaving a corporate career to pursue her passion full-time in 2018, she now focuses on helping women heal their relationships with their bodies, fostering confidence and self-
acceptance.
With a background in business and higher education, Karianne brings empathy and authenticity to her work, creating a safe space for women to see themselves in a new light. As a wife, mom, and stepmom, she captures the essence of every woman she photographs with care and understanding.
TOPIC: Bodies & Business: The Hidden Impact of Body Image on Professional Growth & Success
In this transformative talk, we explore the profound impact body image has on our professional lives. When we struggle with how we see ourselves, it’s not just our confidence that suffers—it affects how we show up, share our ideas, and thrive in our careers. What if we could break free from those limiting beliefs? By embracing our bodies as they are, we can unlock a confidence that propels us forward.
Together, we’ll examine the societal influences that shape our self-image and dive into strategies for self-acceptance, allowing us to focus on our true strengths and talents.
Participants will leave the session able to:
Recognize the external influences and societal pressures that shape their body image.
Notice how body image impacts their confidence, communication, and overall success in their careers.
Apply practical strategies to embrace self-acceptance, shifting focus from appearance to their strengths and abilities in both personal and professional settings.
Reviews for Karianne
“Karianne Munstedt is a phenomenal portrait photographer and an extraordinary speaker. She recently led an impactful training for my international women’s business organization, The Dames, on body image and its influence on business success. The feedback from our members has been overwhelmingly positive—more so than for any other training in our program! Karianne has an incredible ability to unify her audience, remove stigma, and create a safe space for discussing sensitive topics. The lessons she imparted are invaluable and will significantly benefit our businesses (and personal lives.) Highly recommend her for both photography and speaking engagements!”
“Karianne is a rare individual who finds beauty in everything and shares this world view with the audience. She is vulnerable and warm and her perspective on life makes you feel as if you are having a 1-on-1 conversation rather than sharing her with an entire room. On stage, she is inspiring, engaging, and approachable. She sees life with her heart.”
“Karianne was an absolute rockstar to work with! She takes the time to learn about the needs of the audience and community BEFORE speaking to them—which is priceless when it comes to making sure the content lands with who is attending the event. As a speaker, Karianne was engaging and informative. She easily held the attention of the audience as her teaching style was interactive and thought-provoking. I highly recommend Karianne as a speaker and workshop facilitator. She has so much wisdom to share and a captivating, joyful method of sharing it.”
