Hi, I’m Kayla.

I’m a work-from-home mom, wife, Jersey girl, and lifelong planner lover. I’ve always been a big goal setter… but a not-so-great goal action taker. Making goals was fun. Taking action? That part always felt fuzzy.

I bought the planners. I wrote in them. Finished one? Never happened.

In 2023, I started thinking about creating my own planner. And like many of my goals at the time, I didn’t take action on it. Then 2025 came — the year I had my baby — and everything changed. Working from home with a newborn completely shifted my relationship with “busy.” The days of being energized by a 1-page to do list were no more. Some days were just about taking care of my baby and that just had to be enough. So as my son got older, I started prioritizing 1-2 important tasks per day which gave me enough energy to handle what I needed to the next day, and the next day, and the next day. I was making progress without being completely exhausted at the end of each day. I quickly learned (thankfully) that "busy" didn't mean productive. Then right around Halloween, the idea of starting my own planner business wouldn’t leave me alone.

That’s where Grounded Paper Co. was born.

Grounded Paper Co. creates planners and journals designed to help you stay grounded while organizing your time, focusing your goals, and moving through life with intention. It’s about making space for what actually matters — not just filling your days with busywork.

Because your goals deserve more than a pretty page. They deserve a path you can actually follow.
