Let’s face it: when we turn 40, we start to change. There’s no way to stop it.
Yes, our bodies change, and there are unique challenges that come with aging after 40. But we also shift more in our thoughts, our perceptions, our wants, our desires.
Welcome to Embrace the Shift: REAL Topics, REAL Conversations for Women Over 40. This monthly virtual gathering of like-minded women will cover the REAL topics that women over the age of 40 want to talk about, like sexual desire, menopause, financial security, sleep, and caring for aging parents.
Too often we think talking about these topics is taboo, but the more we talk and have REAL converations about these topics, the more we are able to lean into them, and the more we take away their power over us. This is a safe space to come together to talk about REAL life.

WHO IS THIS MONTHLY GATHERING FOR?
Women over 40 who are open to exploring different ways of approaching heath, wellness, money, and daily life, and are wanting deeper, more meaningful relationships with other women.
My name is Karianne Munstedt and I’m your host of Embrace the Shift.
In 2021, I started a photography project photographing and celebrating women over the age of 40 (also, scroll down to see more). The women I met through this project were more confident, more honest, and more self-assured than ever before. Sure, when we age, there are specific issues that start taking place…but life is far from downhill after the age of 40!
As a 44-year-old myself, I sense the shifts in my body and mindset. We can’t stop the shifts from happening…so what do we do? We Embrace the Shift!
Embrace it all…the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Embrace it with honesty and vulnerability and openness and connectedness.
Join me and EMBRACE THE SHIFT.

WOMEN OVER 40 DESERVE TO BE CELEBRATED.
As women, we wear many hats. We are wives, mothers, daughters, employees, business owners, cooks, friends, teachers, students, and so much more.
And yet, what we are first and foremost are…WOMEN.
Women are radiance, sensuality, and femininity. Even if you haven’t seen those things in yourself in a long time, they are there, just waiting to be unleashed.
And we’re changing the narrative around what beauty over the age of 40 looks like.
