About Lauren
Hi, I’m Lauren — a mom, wife, REALTOR®, brokerage owner, and a woman in the middle of a very real comeback.
I live in a small Texas town with my husband, our two boys, and our two dogs. My life is a mix of running my real estate company, juggling mom life, squeezing in workouts, creating simple recipes, trying new restaurants, watching football, and doing my best to create balance in a season of life that is full and fast.
Years ago, I lost over 130 pounds. I shared that journey with my followers and truly thought that part of my story was complete. But after having my second son and navigating motherhood, business growth, stress, and real life, I slowly gained weight again. I openly talked about feeling off track, but I never shared the actual numbers — until now.
I was 182 lbs when I got pregnant.
After delivery, I was 216 lbs.
The highest I reached in 2023 was 231.4 lbs.
Today, I’m down 11 lbs and committed to continuing my journey forward.
These numbers don’t define me, but they are part of my truth. Sharing them now is part of reclaiming my confidence, rebuilding my habits, and stepping fully into my comeback era.
Right now, my focus is on realistic, sustainable healthy living — the kind that works for busy working moms. No extremes. No perfection. Just consistency, grace, movement I enjoy, meals that feel good, and yes… treats when I want them.
Everything I share falls into seven pillars that define this brand and community:
⭐ 1. My Comeback
Progress, setbacks, weigh-ins, emotional honesty, and what I’m learning along the way.
⭐ 2. Realistic Healthy Living
Simple meals, balanced nutrition, doable workouts, sustainable routines — healthy living that fits real life.
⭐ 3. Working Mom Life
The truth about raising kids and running a business: routines, boundaries, time management, and the moments that don’t make it to Instagram.
⭐ 4. Real Food + Treats
Meals I actually cook, things my kids will eat, and treats without guilt.
⭐ 5. Real Talk
Body image, burnout, motherhood, emotional eating, and letting go of perfection.
Because women don’t connect to perfect — they connect to honest.
⭐ 6. Tools + Habits
The small, practical strategies that help busy women stay consistent. These tools are the foundation of the support I’ll soon be offering women on their own comeback journeys.
⭐ 7. Community + Support
A Facebook accountability group where women can show up as they are — ask questions, share wins, stay motivated, and not feel alone.
⭐ And yes — real estate is still a huge part of who I am.
In 2022, I opened my own brokerage, Cook Realty Company, after dreaming of this career since 2008.
Since then, I’ve proudly:
🏡 Helped 194 families buy, sell, build, or invest
💰 Closed over $50 million in real estate
🏆 Won Rookie of the Year in 2019
📈 Remained a multi-million-dollar producer every year
🤍 Built relationships that go far beyond a transaction
My mission is simple: make real estate smooth, honest, and stress-free for every client.
Whether you’re here for healthy living, mom life, community, or real estate guidance — I’m truly glad you’re here.
This is Real With Lauren.
Welcome to the comeback. 🤍
