When we were kids, it happened fast. We outgrew clothes and shoes seemingly overnight. We constantly reached for things just out of our grasp. We made messes and art without worrying about what anyone would think.

As we shift into adulthood, growth gets harder to come by. Get good grades and a great job. Burn the midnight oil. Struggle against the odds. Then somewhere along the way, we get comfortable with the status quo. Sitting on the couch, watching and scrolling instead of trying and doing.

But creativity demands growth. Not the kind that can be measured with a ruler. It’s about taking stock of your character. Who’s ready to chase wild possibilities and meaningful progress? We must unlearn the need to be perfect and busy. Remember how to play and get our hands dirty again.

It takes curiosity and courage. Because growth doesn’t always feel good. It forces us to shed our old skin, to stumble, and start again. Sometimes, growth happens quietly, in between uncertainty and doubt, the moments when nothing seems to be changing. Until everything does.

Our Growth event is happening on November 28th, and registration opens on November 17th. Stay tuned! 👀

What a gentle morning that was!🌅

I'm still thinking about everything Maja shared at #CMSoft, and I don't know about you, but I definitely needed that. The soft reminder that we all have a part to play in something bigger.

Maja reminded us of something powerful: one person can't change everything, but many of us together? That's where real change happens. Our responsibility to this planet, to future generations, to our children, it starts with each of us finding our motivation and showing up.

Her talk 'Rooted' wasn't just inspiring, it was a gentle call to action we all needed to hear.🌍💚

Massive thanks to More Alliance! The breakfast, the beautiful space, the behind-the-scenes tour of the complex, all of it made the morning even more special. We're so grateful! ☕🌿

To our Creative Mornings family who filled that room, thank you for showing up, for being present, for holding space for these conversations. The energy you brought made the morning what it was. See you next month? We hope so! 🌱

And that’s a wrap! (Until next month! 😉)We’re still coming down from all the excitement from #CMBlossom, What a rush! The venue was rammed, the space was stunning, and the vibes were immaculate! And to top it off, it was Tatiana’s birthday - what a wonderful gift! 🎂🌸

So much effort, planning, and organisation goes into our events, and we just have to take a moment to thank everyone who made this morning so special.A massive thanks to our speaker, Tatiana Isidorsson Albino, for her incredibly moving talk about the power of collective creativity. Her message about amplifying voices and building genuine community really resonated with the crowd, and as a longtime member of the CreativeMornings family, it was an absolute pleasure giving her the space to share her story.🥹

Another huge thanks to our wonderful hosts, Start Communication | More Alliance, for letting us take over their beautiful space and keeping us all fed and caffeinated throughout! ☕And a special shout-out to the Start Communication | More Alliance team for showing us around their incredible office. Wandering around four floors, meeting creatives from all their different agencies, and getting a proper behind-the-scenes look at how it all works was an absolute treat. (See you again next month! 👀)

Finally, a huge thanks to you (and us!), the CreativeMornings family! Our events wouldn’t be the successes they are without the excitement and energy our wonderfully diverse community brings each month.We’ve grown so much this year, but the warmth and genuine enthusiasm around our events have only got stronger.And a huge part of that is down to our amazing CreativeMornings volunteers, who pour their hearts into making every morning special. Thank you all for being part of this. 🙌

We hope to see you all at the next event, same place, (roughly) same time! ☺️

Ladies and gentlemen 🔊Are you ready to meet the speaker for #CMGothenburg’s May event themed #CMRevival? 🪩Here she is! Siri Bergnéhr, designer and one of the co-founders of AFRY’s own FemTech initiative, will be joining us to share her inspiring story. ✨Siri is a strong and courageous individual who made the bold decision to leave behind 15 years of experience to embark on a new journey aligned with her values. She began her career 18 years ago as a fashion designer. 👠 But after more than a decade in the fashion industry, Siri realized that its ethical values no longer resonated with her own. With determination, she revived her career path and chose to study digital design, a decision that eventually led her to AFRY.It’s this bold mindset that brings Siri to the stage at our May event.🌟As a warm-up, let’s hear directly from Siri:“What we need is a few more revivals.
A revival of empathy and understanding.
Kindness and caring.
It’s time for a revival of the golden rule.
It’s up to you to distill the best of the past and create a better future.”#InspiringTalk #CreativeMornings #NetworkingEvent🎨 Annika Janefur
