The Owner

Nicole Marie, the heart behind MadreForte, is a proud small business owner from Chicago, Illinois, with over 14 years of experience in sales and marketing. With a passion for empowering others, she has dedicated herself to helping people reach their goals, embrace their potential, and prioritize their mental well-being.

As a mother, wife, and corporate professional, Nicole’s daily life is a delicate balance of family, business, and career. Her journey is supported by an incredible family and community that fuel her dreams and inspire her to keep reaching for the stars. Her corporate role provides her the flexibility to work from home and travel nationwide, but her heart lies in building MadreForte—a business rooted in empowering women, promoting positive change, and championing mental health awareness.

For Nicole, empowerment begins at home. She’s committed to instilling the values of hard work, resilience, self-love, and endless possibility in her children. Having experienced the challenges of navigating personal growth and mental health, she understands the importance of creating space for self-care and support. Through MadreForte, Nicole is not only building a family legacy but also fostering a community where women can find the strength, tools, and encouragement to thrive.

Nicole’s favorite quote, “Nothing is impossible. The word itself says, ‘I’m possible!’” by Audrey Hepburn, perfectly captures her belief in the boundless potential of women to create positive change in their lives and communities. She’s here to inspire, uplift, and be a trusted partner on the journey to success—reminding us all that prioritizing mental health is just as important as chasing dreams.

Part-Owner

A special part of MadreForte's journey is Nicole's daughter, Khloe, who plays a significant role as a part-owner and creative contributor. Together, they've turned their passion for empowering women and spreading kindness into a shared dream. With every product they create, they celebrate the bond of family, the power of positivity, and the joy of pursuing their dreams together.
