HI, I'M NICOLE WEIDER
Welcome to my site!
I’m a passionate follower of Jesus, and I find joy and purpose in inspiring others with my story and struggles. I’m rooted in faith, and my life’s journey so far has included many twists and turns in being a former lingerie model, living the fast life in Hollywood, and then giving my life for God when I thought all hope was lost. And then Jesus came in and rescued me when I was at my lowest. He redeemed and renewed me and gave me a new life.
I thought that was my full testimony, but then in a huge turn of events at only 37 I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. I’ve been trusting in God through this challenging time and remaining hopeful and encouraged. I’m thankful the treatments are working for me and I am currently in chemotherapy and immunotherapy in Dallas.
MY STORY
It all started when… I moved to LA from my small town in Oregon at 16 to pursue modeling full time.
It seemed glamorous at first but I quickly got swept up in the fast lane in Hollywood. I was partying in clubs and dating celebrities, posing in lingerie and swimwear, all while I was still underage. My modeling agent always wanted me to be thinner, and photographers were extremely predatory.
After I worked on a Victoria's Secret commercial which at first I thought was a dream come true, I realized I wanted out and I hit rock bottom. I didn’t know where to turn, until I came across the book “The Purpose Driven Life” by Rick Warren and it changed my life. I realized that my purpose could be as a woman of God, and my life transformed for the better after I gave my life to Jesus. Now looking back I see how God was weaving my story and bringing me closer to Him.
I believe every obstacle we may face in our lives is an opportunity for growth and a testament to the power of faith. Through my platforms, my aim is to encourage others and spread hope, and I believe every single person is so loved and put on this earth for a big purpose.
Want in on the story?
“I wanted to be just like you growing up, I followed you on MySpace. You linked like you had the perfect life, modeling for huge magazines and billboards. Then I started modeling and was only booked for men's magazines, lingerie, bikini, Maxim and always had me wearing revealing outfits. I would see myself on book covers, magazines in stores, but it wasn't fulfilling as it was only empty money. Thank you for sharing your story, for a lot of girls who modeled like this."
