Diddy, Playboy, Nickelodeon, Weinstein, trafficking rings-and so many more-are all part of Nicole's powerful Hollywood/Manhattan story. Come hear her experiences and see how many times God saved her along the treacherous path. So many inspirational miracles. Even before she was following Jesus, He was guiding and protecting her in the Lion's den.
Nicole was standing on the red carpet for a premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, when she suddenly realized something was missing from her photo ops. In the midst of following her worldly dreams to be a successful actress and producer, she left Jesus in the rearview mirror.
Producing and acting in films starring A-list actors and living the elite Manhattan/Hollywood lifestyle, Nicole had the world in the palm of her hands…“But what does it mean to gain the whole world if you lose your soul?”-(Mark 8:36) Nicole had a massive awakening and conversion to Christ on the red carpet of a Woody Allen premiere at the Cannes film festival in France.
Nicole’s response was an overwhelming, previously unknown stirring of the Holy Spirit. In the arms of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, she found everything she had ever been searching for, finding her soul in Jesus and His church. God then showed Nicole how she could use the power of media for His Glory instead of the world. Nicole currently works as film producer, director, actress, and marketing executive for faith friendly or family friendly films (Mel Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge, Sony's The Advocate, Lionsgate's I Can Only Imagine, and R.A.D.A.R. Adventures of the Bionic Dog).
Surprising to many, behind the glitz, Nicole has an even more powerful and harrowing story of hope found in the darkness. Her life story is a testimony (videos below) that in the darkest of circumstances, God is calling us, fighting for us, loving us, carrying us, and protecting us. It's a testimony that there is nothing that God cannot overcome, heal, and use for His good for many and for God's glory. If Jesus would convert her, heal her, and use her for mighty things, then God can do it for any soul, no matter how far away.
Nicole is currently best known for her starring role (and directing) the hit tv drama series, The Advocate. Ranking top 5 out of 8000 titles for the U.S. and top 5 overseas as well. At one point, The Advocate reached #1 and out performed The Chosen. Inspired by the show's true events, Nicole has used the platform to speak out and fight predators/human traffickers, and especially to protect children. Her interview, "The Devil in Hollywood" went viral three different times and reached millions of people.
Nicole's book on healing, PURE POWER, was published by Tan Books/St Benedict press. Nicole's practical tools for healing from bondage are found in her Holy Spirit guided handbook of practical tools. There is a conference or talks available in coordination, through which she has seen many miracles for attendees.
Nicole spoke at the Pittsburgh Young Adult Diocesan Conference and at Magnificat Chicago. One of her most powerful talks was at the FIRE Catholic Conference in PA, with Bishop Malesic and Sister Ann Shields. She was also asked to speak at National Prayer Day for Kiwanis and to pray over the entire Tampa Bay region at the Bucs Stadium to ignite Godly media for thousands of people on National Prayer Day.
Nicole has been featured on EWTN's Life on the Rock, Gus Lloyd’s Seize the Day, Spirit FM, The Pete O’Shea Show, Moody Radio, and Catholic TV. Her work has been featured and/or endorsed by EWTN, TBN, Variety, CBN, NFCYM, and Catholic Mom. Nicole has spoken around the country including Kiwanis National Prayer on “Power of Prayer", NCYC on “Faith in Film”, and the International Christian Film Festival on “Faith Based Film Distribution”. She spoke on chastity to thousands at the Live Out Loud Singles Conference. She even partnered with India's Song On Fire Catholic ministry, to spread the message of chastity abroad.
Nicole went to college at age 16 and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a B.A, double major in Economics and Theater. She spent 7 years in Investment Management, working wth Hedge Funds and private equity. Nicole is currently working as CEO of a new streaming platform, to fight the culture war and bring media back to a wholesome place.
She is very thankful for her home diocesan community and being able to unite with Jesus in the Eucharist daily!
Some Example Talks:
FROM HOLLYWOOD TOWARDS HEAVEN: 1-hour faith in film talk followed by a 30 minute Q&A. Nicole’s shares her life journey of her success in Hollywood, and that despite having “success” in the eyes of the world, she was left feeling completely empty inside. She talks about how God called her to work in faith friendly films, and how media could be a powerful tool to spread his word. She discusses how all our gifts and talents are from the Lord, so they all must be used to glorify him and always put God first, in everything we do.
HOPE IN OVERCOMING HARDSHIPS: Nicole had a harrowing journey, many would not notice looking from the outside. Her story is one they actually keep asking her to make a movie on! See videos to hear her story.
PURE POWER: This weekend conference can also summarize the full program in a 90 minute talk. Nicole loves being invited to share her full 6-7 hour weekend PURE POWER conference, especially for church leadership teams, as they have helped to heal many souls. Through PURE POWER, Nicole share’s her powerful testimony of how God called her back to living a life of chastity. Her talk includes identity in Christ, replacing the lies that the enemy tells us with God’s truth. She also shares how forgiveness, prayer, and fasting can strengthen those who are struggling with sin will break them free from bondage. Finally, she shares all the church has to offer to help strengthen and overcome. Although created for singles, late teens, and divorced, even married couples have attended and experienced healings from their lives. Many are teaching "why" but very few are speaking out on "how". With Covenant Eyes statistics that 80% of unmarried Christians ages 18 to 29 having engaged in sex outside of marriage, it is a spiritual matter that can no longer be left in the darkness.
ENDORSEMENTS:
"Through Nicole’s help and coaching, I learned the flaw in my approach. I was trying to make my actions right with God, but I was trying to do so only through my own ability, without seeking God’s help and guidance through the process. So even though my heart and intentions were in the right place, I would ultimately fail because I was trying to fight a spiritual battle with human means. It was only once Nicole showed me how to fight my problem through spiritual means like prayer and fasting instead of just trying to rely on my own willpower, that I started to see real gains. My freedom from pornography didn’t happen overnight. It took time and dedication, but by staying dedicated to prayer and focusing on God, I was eventually able to gain control over my addiction and defeat it."
``Later, still joyful, I wondered out loud to Nicole why that healing took so long. She lit up, instantly. “Don’t you remember? It was because you were holding on to the guilt. That day of healing, you were finally ready to let it go.”
Praise God!”
`God is so amazing and his love endures forever! Our pastor wanted to talk about what happened at the conference instead of his planned homily on Sunday. He is amazed about the whole thing, too. I'm really excited for my church and brothers and sisters in Christ. We all grew and matured in His purpose for our lives. PURE POWER ROCKS!!!``”
