My STORY
Karen Shayne: A Visionary in Production, Publishing, and Advocacy
Karen Shayne, a dynamic producer, publisher, and advocate, has built an impressive career rooted in resilience and purpose. Originally establishing herself in the healthcare industry, Karen’s life took a transformative turn after her own cancer diagnosis. Relocating to Nashville, Tennessee, she launched into production, crafting award-winning healthcare segments for CBS and NBC affiliates. Her expertise and passion have earned her features in HuffPost, AOL/Yahoo, People Magazine, Nashville Business Journal, Hope For Women Magazine, The Doctors Channel, Healthline, and ABC Chicago.
Karen also hosted a health-focused radio program on Salem Media Network for Healthspring.
In 2012, Karen’s commitment to advocacy inspired her to found a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to empowering women affected by cancer. The organization’s mission was to create a supportive network where women could reclaim their voices, enhance their quality of life, and embrace their journeys. This work ignited Karen’s passion for storytelling, compelling her to seek out narratives that celebrate the resilience and humanity in us all. Today, she travels the globe sharing these stories to inspire and uplift audiences worldwide.
Karen now channels her energy into publishing and production through Unconditionally Her, her flagship initiative. Unconditionally Her is a women-centric lifestyle platform designed to inspire and empower those seeking extraordinary and purpose-driven lives. In 2023, Karen expanded the brand’s impact by establishing Unconditionally Her Media, a production arm creating compelling podcasts and films. Recent projects include the acclaimed documentary My First Breath: The Story of Carl Gibson and the highly anticipated 2025 release, So She Howls, which chronicles the life and music of Grammy-winning artist Carla Patullo and her groundbreaking album of the same name.
With a bold vision and a relentless drive to uplift and connect, Karen Shayne continues to redefine storytelling and advocacy, leaving an indelible mark on media and lives around the world.
