ABOUT ME

lauren headshot

Hey y’all! My name is Lauren, and I’m a New Orleans native ⚜️ but home is now somewhere between Florida, Germany, and the rest of the world…

I went to the University of Central Florida and got my degree in accounting. After getting an MBA and then getting licensed as a CPA, I left it all behind to “start a blog.” Now, I now run a successful online business that allows me the freedom to work whenever and from wherever I want!

After years of being a “digital nomad” (aka working on my laptop on the beach and stuff 👩🏻‍💻), I’ve now put down some [temporary] roots in Cologne, Germany with my husband. But my desire to travel and experience adventures around the world is still as strong as ever and will always be part of the plan.

You can read more about my travels and my businesses below!

My Biz World

Mindful Max, Mental Health Made Easy 🧠⚡️

Mindful Max, Mental Health Made Easy 🧠⚡️

Co-Founder

My brother, Dale McManus, and I have wanted to start a business together for years, but it was never the right time or the right idea. Finally, the idea for Mindful Max came along.

After being in the “online business” world for years, we were both growing weary of the social platforms and what they do to our mental health. We live in a world that seems increasingly driven by other people’s behaviors, and Dale and I just wanted to create a friendly and fun space to help people turn their attention inwards again.

We believe that everyone has everything they need to be happy within themselves. They just need to tap into it. We started this business to remind people of that.

MY LIFE RUNS ON...

Yoga

I used to run every day of my life until a few years ago when I discovered yoga. I love the constant challenge that it presents me and it’s a great workout while traveling!

Wifi Tribe

Most of my travels are with my amazing family of friends around the world — the Wifi Tribe — a co-living and co-working community of REALLY awesome people.

Harry Potter

I’ve read all 7 books about 7 times. I watch the movies in Spanish, and I’ve been to the studio set in London, which was pretty much the best day of my life. #potterforpresident

Adventure

Forever chasing sunsets, mountains, volcanoes, and jungles with my adventure partner.  Life is never boring with this guy and I’m so grateful that he chose me to share his light with.
