Live By The Rule was founded by Nicole Macklin in Peachtree Corners, Georgia, a diverse community just north of Atlanta. 

Live By The Rule began during the 2024 election cycle, when Nicole felt called to promote love and connection in a time of deep division. She began distributing free ‘Love Thy Neighbor (No Exceptions)’ yard signs, and that simple act soon led to a deeper question: why do people struggle to live the values they already claim to believe? 

The answer unfolded through years of spiritual exploration across multiple traditions, including Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, and, more recently, Kabbalah. Through that journey, Nicole came to believe that while the Golden Rule is universal, unresolved pain often blocks our ability to live it. Golden Rule 2.0 is the recognition that healing the inner life must become the foundation for loving others well 

Nicole’s mission is to share the Ruler Reveal Blueprint, a practical path for healing, self-governance, and spiritual growth. Her personal journey—marked by challenge, reflection, and transformation—shaped the framework she now shares with others as evidence that meaningful change is possible. 

She is dedicated to helping others transform personal challenges and past trauma into growth, wisdom, and compassion. She believes that by deepening our connection to the inner life and choosing healing, responsibility, and agency, we can build stronger and more compassionate communities.
