“Je bent niet je imperfecties”: hoe confidence coach & performer @karlienvancutsem haar onzekerheden overwon en viral ging met haar dansvideo’s

September 25, 2025 By fastforwardamy Leave a Comment

Je hoeft er niet perfect voor te zijn om hier te zijn en om gezien te worden. Je mag gezien worden en je bent het waard, gewoon door jezelf te zijn.

– Karlien Van Cutsem

Lange mouwen in de zomer. Gecancelde dates. Zelfs haar achternaam durfde Karlien van @karlienvancutsem niet volledig te gebruiken. Haar eczeem en huidproblemen bepaalden jarenlang haar kledingkeuzes, sociale leven en zelfbeeld.

Vandaag staat ze op podia voor duizenden mensen, werkt ze als movement director voor merken zoals Desperados en zijn haar confidence workshops maanden op voorhand uitverkocht. Maar hoe onderging ze die transformatie?

Het moment dat alles veranderde

Tijdens lockdown begon Karlien spontane gratis dance workouts in een Antwerps park. “Iedereen die goesting heeft, is welkom”, postte ze op Instagram. Tien vriendinnen kwamen. De week erna nog meer. Binnen enkele weken stond ze voor vijftig vrouwen te dansen.

De echte doorbraak kwam toen ze een vrouw zag die altijd naar binnen keek tijdens haar lessen maar nooit meedeed. “Ze durfde niet voor de spiegel staan omdat ze het te confronterend vond om zichzelf te zien bewegen.” Dat moment deed Karlien beseffen dat beweging veel meer was dan calorieën verbranden: het ging om vrouwen helpen thuiskomen in hun lichaam.

Van gratis lessen naar winstgevende business

Dit inzicht werd haar business model. Karliens workshops draaien niet alleen om bewegen. “Ik ben powerful,” laat ze vrouwen hardop zeggen terwijl ze in powerposes staan. “Eerst vindt iedereen het awkward, maar dan leg ik uit waarom het belangrijk is om het uit te spreken en niet alleen te denken.”

Die combinatie van beweging, mindset en community zorgt ervoor dat vrouwen twee uur rijden voor anderhalf uur les. Klanten komen terug omdat ze voelen dat het werkt:  ze durven meer kleur te dragen, dansen op trouwfeesten en staan anders in hun relatie.

De ultieme test

Het bewijs van haar eigen transformatie? Vijf minuten voor Karlien op de Jupiler stage van Rock Werchter moest staan – in een topje met blote armen voor 10.000 mensen – kreeg ze een vraag van een hostess over haar huidvlekjes. Een jaar eerder zou ze in tranen zijn uitgebarsten. Nu bleef ze kalm, legde uit dat het eczeem was en stapte het podium op voor de performance van haar leven.

“Ik ben niet mijn huid of mijn imperfecties. Ik ben Karlien Van Cutsem, en ik weet waarvoor ik sta.” Die shift van verstoppen naar omarmen werd letterlijk haar handelsmerk, namelijk andere vrouwen leren hetzelfde te doen.

Karliens boodschap is simpel maar krachtig: confidence is geen eindbestemming maar een dagelijkse keuze. En die keuze kun je leren maken.

Ben je benieuwd naar het volledige verhaal van Karlien?
