Author Bio
Nicole Lindhorst is a wife of more than twenty years to Mark, a proud mom of three — Emma, Owen, and Brody – and a lifelong entrepreneur who has built multiple successful businesses with equal parts grit, grace, and faith. Growing up in a divorced home taught Nicole the power of perseverance early on. She learned that hard work and heart – not circumstance — determine your direction. Rooted in small-town values and driven by big dreams, Nicole has made it her mission to inspire others to rise above limitations and rediscover the brilliance within. Through her coaching, re-treats, and her book Becoming a Diamond, she helps women navigate life transitions with confidence, purpose, and joy. When she’s not speaking, mentoring, or volunteering in her community, you’ll find her traveling, sharing laughter with friends, reading a good book, or binge-watching Netflix with a cozy blanket, her mini schnauzer Baylee and a glass of wine. An outspoken believer in God, Nicole says her greatest passion is to remind others that faith is the foundation of every transformation and that we shine most brightly when we trust the One who created us to sparkle. Nicole’s message is simple but powerful: You were never meant to shrink to fit in; you were created to shine.
