Hello
My name is Agata and I am a co-founder of Lunalab. I’m Polish but I live in Brussels. I have an Italian husband and three wonderful young children. Recently, I embarked on a new professional journey, and I’d love to share how I got here. I hope my story resonates with you and offers a little inspiration along the way.
My Story
For years, I felt like I was living a professional life that didn’t fully align with who I was or what I was capable of. When I chose my path of studies and started my career, I picked what seemed like the best options at the time—choices that made sense and served their purpose. My 13 years in corporate public affairs and communications brought achievements I was proud of and provided me with valuable skills and experiences. But as I grew in my career, I began to feel disconnected. I couldn’t help but thinking that I wasn’t using my full potential or tapping into all the elements that would bring me true fulfillment. Instead, I found myself stuck in a cycle of stress, self-criticism, and imposter syndrome, meeting expectations that didn’t feel like my own. To cope, I learned to set clear boundaries and practiced yoga, which helped me stay grounded. But the question of what would truly fulfill me grew louder with time.
Motherhood added profound layers to that question. As I transitioned through matrescence—the transformation of becoming a mother—my priorities shifted dramatically. Balancing the demands of expat life, a corporate career, and raising three children was both rewarding and overwhelming. When a company restructuring led to my role being eliminated, it gave me a rare opportunity to pause. Instead of seeing it as an ending, I viewed it as a doorway. For the first time, I allowed myself to imagine a different path—one where I could use my passion for personal growth and empowerment to make a real difference for others.
That vision came to life with LunaLab. Partnering with Roberta, a fellow expat mom and kind spirit, we set out to create a space where women could focus on self-development and reclaim their sense of purpose. LunaLab is built on the belief that thriving starts from within and that by overcoming limiting beliefs and embracing our full potential, we can lead with purpose and joy—in the workplace and beyond. It’s a community designed to inspire women to grow, connect, and support one another through every stage of life, particularly in the transformative journey of motherhood.
