About Nicole

Hi, I'm Nicole.

A wife, a mom of three, a storyteller, and a woman who has rebuilt her life in ways I never expected.

After being diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, everything changed. And then, somehow, everything changed again.

I went from survival mode to asking deeper questions. What am I becoming now that I've survived? What stays, and what finally gets left behind? What does rebuilding, beautifully, actually look like for me?

Pretty Real was born from that place. This isn't just a podcast. It's a space for women who are evolving. Who are rebuilding. Who want more, but also want it to feel real.

Today, in remission, I'm not interested in simply returning to the person I was before. I'm embracing the woman I'm becoming.

Here, we talk about

And creating a life that feels aligned, not just impressive.

I believe you can be both soft and powerful. Healing and becoming at the same time.

Before Pretty Real

A career built across many chapters.

After spending her early career in modeling and entertainment, Nicole stepped away from that world to focus on marriage, motherhood, and raising her three kids. At 37, her life changed dramatically with her diagnosis.

Facing an uncertain future reshaped the way she thought about time, faith, confidence, relationships, motherhood, and what it means to really live.

She brings both sides of herself to the conversation: the woman who has walked through some of life's hardest moments, and the woman who still loves pink, getting dressed up, discovering a great beauty treatment, dreaming big, and having fun.
