About Nicole
Hi, I'm Nicole Marino.
I'm a multipassionate entrepreneur with over 25+ years building visibility for brands and individuals through storytelling — across marketing, photography, social media, and on-camera interviews. For the last 15 years, I’ve been teaching my methodology for staying in a mindset to achieve goals, believe in my dreams, and live a life that speaks to my soul. That’s where I became a certified Lifestyle Mindset Wellness Coach. This became PlatformRevival.
My grandfather used to tell me, "You can do anything you set your mind to." I didn't believe it at first. I spent years behind a desk in a corporate marketing career that drained me, second-guessing every instinct that told me I was made for more.
At 30, I left Boston for Napa Valley with no job waiting and no one to lean on — just a side hustle in photography and a belief I hadn't fully earned yet. That decision became the foundation for everything I've built since: a media company, a coaching methodology, a body of written and photographed work featured in Vogue, Thrive Global, and Boston Common Magazine, and interviews with names like Kevin Bacon, Olivia Wilde, and James Marsden alongside the local changemakers who never make headlines but should.
Today, I'm rooted in Napa Valley's community — through philanthropic work, partnerships with clinicians, and a growing circle of women who hold each other accountable to the lives they're building. I speak on stages about the mindset blocks that keep capable people stuck, and I coach 1:1 and in groups through PlatformRevival, my methodology for rewiring belief, elevating environment, and living from future identity.
Whether I'm behind the camera or across the table from a client, the work is the same: helping someone build the belief before the evidence shows up.
For over 25 years, I’ve been covering inspiring stories that align with the methodology I built in PlatformRevival to honor a zest for life. It took going through my life journey, walking the walk, to cultivate the tool built for myself in the mirrored curriculum of my program, PlatformRevival. My goal is to help serve everyone who wishes to reach the level of belief that allows them to carry out any soul goal they desire, both personally and professionally.
-
Old belief. I had to stay in the traditional lifestyle and career goals.
New belief. I was able to grow my photography into a business alongside my career in marketing.
-
Old belief. I had to stay safe and listen to loved ones and the fears they brought out, and stay living in MA.
New belief. I could do something out of the ordinary that felt aligned with my soul and move Napa Valley which had called my soul
-
Old beliefs. Who was going to trust me to share about mindset and life when I hadn’t figured out all my life goals yet..
New Belief. I was living according to what brought me into my ideal state of being, most of the time, why not serve others?
