Who we are


At The Mother Load, we are more than just a service. We’re a team of experienced, thoughtful, resourceful moms who understand firsthand the ever-changing demands of motherhood. Founded by Lauren Stauffer, a former successful business owner and pediatric sleep consultant, The Mother Load was born from a simple truth: the mental load of motherhood never stops. It just shifts. Through her previous company supporting families with sleep, Lauren saw up close how much mothers carry and how little backup they often receive. The Mother Load was created to change that.

Our team brings a powerful blend of real-world parenting experience and professional expertise across a wide range of industries. With backgrounds in project management, human resources, operations, event planning, education, technology, and community leadership, we are skilled in creating systems, solving problems, and supporting families with compassion and precision. Every member of our team understands the emotional and logistical demands of motherhood because we’ve lived them ourselves. Together, we offer both heart and structure, combining practical support with a deep commitment to helping mothers feel seen, supported, and less alone.

Together, we’re a village. A trusted network of women who believe that mothers were never meant to do it all alone. And now, you don’t have to. Let us lighten your load so you can finally exhale.

Multiple people are stacking their hands together in a show of unity, with their hands overlapping. The people are wearing colorful sweaters and one has rings on their fingers.
