About Us

I’m Lauren — founder of The Productive Mum, mum of two little ones, and someone who knows exactly what it feels like to carry a thousand tabs open in your brain… all the time.

If you’ve ever walked into a room and forgotten why, tried to squeeze a full day into a 30-minute nap window, or found yourself scrolling at night because it’s the only “you time” you get — you’re in the right place.

I created The Productive Mum because I was tired of feeling overwhelmed, and like the most important parts of my life — my girls, my goals, myself — were getting the leftovers. I wasn’t burnt out because I was lazy. I was burnt out because I cared so much and I was trying to do it all.... in the wrong way. And I know you must struggle too!

Studies show that mums still carry up to 75% of the household’s mental load.

That’s not just the logistics — it’s the remembering, planning, decision-making, worrying, and keeping-everything-going load.

No wonder we feel overwhelmed.

I went through 17 planners, desperately searching for something that would 'help me.' And I couldn't find it. So, I built something I couldn’t find: a space designed to help mums actually function — not perfectly, but better. A toolkit for the everyday juggle. 

Through simple, proven systems (like my Productive Mum Planner) and community-powered support, I’ll help you take back time you didn’t think you had. This isn’t about doing more — its about releasing the overwhelm and having a basic easy system to use day in day out.

Welcome to The Productive Mum.
