Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to your questions about Luna Launchpad™

In Latin, ‘Luna’ means “the moon”.  Luna was also a Roman goddess of the moon; often seen riding through the night sky in her elegant chariot.  The word represents femininity, intuition, and the potential for growth and transformation.

We chose the name, Luna Launchpad™ to symbolize a supportive and empowering environment for women in business.  Just as the moon guides and illuminates, this innovative program aims to provide the knowledge, skills and resources you need to make the leap from ‘side hustle’ to full-time, self-sustaining business.

Growmetix® approach is multifaceted and deeply intentional.  Stories will emerge from Luna Launchpad™ that showcase women who have transitioned from moonlighting to day breaking; turning side hustles into thriving full-time businesses. These narratives will highlight the journey of “making the leap” e.g. transforming passion into profit and leveraging one’s talents to build a business that resonates with personal values and aspirations.
