Join us on Friday, September 26th at 8am at Launch Co-Working (Exchange District) for a inspiring morning on the CreativeMornings theme of BLOSSOM! Our headliner is Tedi Gilmartin – super thrifter, RRC Polytech alumna, and content creator.

Blossom: The Year I Learned I Could Create My Own PathTedi is a content creator celebrated for her Manitoba thrifting expertise, playful personality, and dynamic creativity. By day, she works as a content marketing specialist for a multi-billion-dollar company, and by night, she’s a creative photographer behind billboard campaigns, a videographer, and an editor passionate about storytelling-driven video content.

Over the past year and a half, Tedi has stepped fully into her creative confidence, growing her audience, taking her freelance work to new heights, and partnering with local brands. 

In this talk, she shares the lessons learned from starting fresh, leaning into her strengths, and embracing the unexpected seasons of life. It’s a story about growth, resilience, strength in community, and discovering that sometimes the moments we think will end us are exactly the moments that allow us to truly blossom.

Exploring our CreativeMornings Global Theme

Our theme for September is BLOSSOM. It was chosen by our Pereira chapter in Colombia, illustrated by Edwin Morales, and is presented by Adobe.  

Every blossom is an act of becoming. The quiet force of roots pushing through the dark, the slow unfurling of a bud, a sudden burst of color. But plants don’t blossom on command. Each flower requires the right amount of sunlight, water, and nourishment across the cycle of the seasons. 

To truly blossom, you must take the risk of opening up. This is your season. You deserve to be seen. Offer your abundance of color and creativity to the world! 

Ask yourself, “what within me is ready to blossom?” “What can I nurture to help others do the same?”
