We had built a successful company in real estate only to end up $100,000 in debt. We then rebuilt our careers, Travis in investments and Julia as a business coach, advising hundreds of entrepreneurs how to build successful companies with insights into my own successes and epic failures. We bought the house and nice cars, had a few babies, obtained “the American dream” only to realize it wasn’t our dream. Every night as we crawled into bed, we still had this nagging question in the back of our minds:
Meet Us and Our Team
IS THERE SOMETHING MORE?
If you have ever found yourself asking that question, then you my friend are a dreamer in waiting, a dreamer who is ready to wake up!
And we are your biggest advocate.
Too often we convince ourselves that our “past, poor choices, bank account, to do list, and life” is keeping us from living the life of our dreams but if all of this is keeping us from our dreams, then what’s the point of life?!
Our “mid life awakening” led to us, along with our 3 kids under the age of 4, to selling everything and traveling the country in an RV for an adventure of a lifetime! Come to find out, “The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.”
Life is too short to live anyone else’s dream.
Life is too short to reason, over-think, justify, or blame, shame, guilt yourself into not living the creative manifestations of what awaits on the inside of you.
The world is waiting for you.
And so are we.
We live to wake up Dreamers everywhere!
Here at The Dream Factory and Co., we give people just like you the tools and resources to get unstuck and clear on what you want most in life, reprogramming your thoughts and beliefs, so you can live out the dream you have within you with a community that supports and challenges you.
We develop dreamers!
Join us for a quest to #rethink, grow and unapologetically chase your dreams.
It’s time to DREAM. We dare you.
Our Team
Lauren Brokken
Champion of Dreams and Community Curation
Meet Lauren!
Hi! I’m a proud Mom of three and my background is in Early Education as a Preschool Director and really, Coach!
What is your Limitless Vision?
I live in a world where anything is possible because there is unity and connection. I live my life compassionately walking alongside people as they journey through challenging stages of life and believe that the Lord uses all things together for the good of those who love him and are called according to His purpose… (yes that means you too!!!)
If your life were a quote, what would it be?
“Be an Esther, bold and courageous enough to stand for the truth, to voice your opinion and fight for the good of others, even when it means to sacrifice yourself. If God has put you in a position, it is for a purpose. Never be afraid to heed to that inner voice”
I want people to actively run towards Him because I believe He will guide and direct your path. Your dreams will come true when your heart is aligned with what the Lord wants for you, when you are willing and able to listen to His call on your life.
If your life were a song, what would it be?
Golden by Ruth B., Nobody by Casting Crowns, Be a Light by Thomas Rhett… I could go on
What’s one thing most people wouldn’t know about you?
People may not know that I love going hunting every year with my dad
What’s one of your greatest dreams you’re currently dreaming?
My greatest dream currently is to create connection and passion through the power of the Lord to empower people to live the lives we thought we could only dream of…
Why did you join The Dream Factory and Co?
To be honest, The Dream Factory and Co., I think found me… I have been stuck knowing that something was “not right,” that I wasn’t “doing what I should be,” that the Lord had prepared me for more for the last several years, and then the Lord brought Julia and I together. As we started talking, the connections began and the Lord confirmed and continues to affirm the mission of The Dream Factory and Co. in my life.
For the person out there who feels stuck and unclear about their dreams, what would you tell them?
I would tell them that this isn’t all that there is… there is so much more to life than this. Even if you don’t know what that could be, take a chance, be courageous and find out what the Lord has for you. “Who knows if perhaps you were made Queen for just a time as this.” Esther 4:14b
Dorian Green
Champion of Dreams and HUB Facilitator
Meet Dorian!
Hey! I am proud to be Fire Starter of The Dream Factory and Co and one of the premier Dream Facilitators. I have over 10 years of combined experience in the teaching, training and coaching industries.
What is your Limitless Vision?
I am driven by my vision of “Living In A World Where We Imagine & Explore Without Limits, Because We Are Free And Connected,” and am in a relentless pursuit to help people be free of mind and connected in heart.
If your life were a quote, what would it be?
With my level of drive and passion, it’s no wonder I coined my life’s quote: “Never Settle For Ordinary. You Are Born To Be Outstanding”
If your life were a song, what would it be?
Born For This by The Score.
What’s one thing most people wouldn’t know about you?
Now, I know I may sound like an intense guy, but a little unknown fact you may not know about me is, I am an avid cartoon watcher.
What’s one of your greatest dreams you’re currently dreaming?
One of my greatest dreams I am currently dreaming is that as God ignites the fire within me, that I will be granted favor to fan the flames of those around me, so that together we manifest our dreams to serve the world while glorifying God.
Why did you join The Dream Factory and Co?
I joined The Dream Factory and Co because this training helped me identify and remove the block that was preventing me from dreaming my own greatest dreams.
For the person out there who feels stuck and unclear about their dreams, what would you tell them?
For you who feel stuck and unclear about your dreams, I would tell you that you are not alone in feeling this way and your frustrations around it. Ask me how I know. But no matter your past experiences, or current circumstances, it is not too late to fulfill your future hopes and dreams. Unique dreams are placed inside of you, designed to edify the world like no one else and in a way like no one else. No one can release your dreams for you, but you have people ready to run along-side you to show you how. NEVER GIVE UP!
Courtney Cramblit
Champion of HYPE
Meet Courtney!
I am so excited to be the Champion of HYPE! Some would say I have the personality of a silly, happy Disney character! I am a former “Fairy Godmother in Training” at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and summer camp counselor (I LOVE kids)! I am obtaining my Bachelor’s degree in Communications in Media and loving every minute of it!
What is your Limitless Vision?
I am a dreamer. My vision includes living life as if I am walking on sunshine! I believe that we can do anything we set our minds to and I want to live life curious and down for any adventure I come across in life! Even when there are stormy days ahead, I always want to look on the bright side and dance in the rain! Creativity and career wise, I was handed my first camera when I was eleven years old and have been in love ever since. I love to create in so many different ways. I want to be a part of the process of people having goals/visions/ideas/dreams and I want to help bring those to life. I want the messages to be heard and the stories to be told!
If your life were a quote, what would it be?
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning how to dance in the rain!
If your life were a song, what would it be?
Walking on Sunshine!
What’s one thing most people wouldn’t know about you?
Not many people get to experience “Courtney’s Car Karaoke.” I have wireless microphones and everything. The rule is if you get in my car, we MUST karaoke! I’ll sing first just in case you don’t want to start off the show!
What’s one of your greatest dreams you’re currently dreaming?
One of my greatest dreams is to always keep dreaming and follow my heart! I want to strengthen my relationship with God even more and wake up every day so thankful because I am so blessed!
Why did you join The Dream Factory and Co?
It is amazing how God works!! I was a nanny for this amazing family that just so happened to be THE Dream Factory and Co family! I believe we were meant to find each other and God didn’t just want me to babysit for this family, he wanted me to be a part of The Dream Factory and Co. team!
For the person out there who feels stuck and unclear about their dreams, what would you tell them?
I’ve been there. I’ve felt lost and unsure before. You need to know that you won’t always feel like this! Don’t ever give up on your dreams even if you feel like giving up because your dream could be waiting right around the corner for you! I like to remind myself and I’d like to remind you too to not wait for the storm to pass, but instead learn how to dance in the rain!
