The MadreForte Story

Nicole Marie is the heart behind MadreForte. With over 14 years in sales and marketing, she combines her professional expertise with a passion for empowerment, resilience, and self-love. Inspired by her Italian roots, the name MadreForte—meaning “Strong Mother”—reflects the core values that drive her mission.

She believes that what you wear should make you smile, feel confident, and serve as a daily reminder of your strength. That’s why every piece at MadreForte is intentionally selected or designed to inspire and uplift.

As a wife, mother, and corporate professional, Nicole balances business, family, and a nationwide travel schedule with grace. While her corporate role provides flexibility, her true passion lies in building a brand that champions mental health, personal growth, and authentic connection.

Having walked her own journey of healing and transformation, she is deeply committed to creating a space where women feel seen, supported, and motivated to thrive. She’s raising her children to value hard work, self-worth, and kindness—living proof that empowerment starts at home.

Her favorite quote, “Nothing is impossible. The word itself says, ‘I’m possible!’” by Audrey Hepburn, perfectly reflects her belief in the limitless potential of women to create change—within themselves and the world around them. MadreForte isn’t just a boutique—it’s a movement for women who dare to dream boldly and dress with purpose.
