Beyond the Ordinary

Mandy Nicholson, a renowned coach for creative and neurodivergent women, is set to release her groundbreaking book, Beyond the Ordinary – Discover the Power of Creative and Neurodiverse Women, on October 11, 2024. The launch coincides with her keynote speech at Social Impact Live at Bolton Stadium.

The book features stories from 30 inspiring women, each sharing their journey of embracing creativity and overcoming the unique challenges they face. These narratives highlight the power and potential of creative minds often sidelined by conventional paths.

“Too often, creative women are told their talents are just hobbies,” says Mandy Nicholson. “I want to change that narrative. My late husband believed in my dreams, and it’s my mission to help others believe in theirs, too.”

Mandy’s journey is a testament to this mission. After years of conforming to traditional work roles post-art degree, she followed her passion and established a business dedicated to helping creative women achieve success. Her relentless drive to dismantle the “starving artist” stereotype has led her to create transformative retreats in Scotland, where she runs a bed and breakfast in a beautifully restored bank, a space she knew was perfect for her vision the moment she saw it.

Mandy’s work has also gained national attention, including a feature on Channel 4’s Four in a Bed. Her commitment to empowering women is unwavering, with her book serving as a vital tool for those looking to unlock their true potential.

Beyond the Ordinary – Discover the Power of Creative and Neurodiverse Women will be available on Amazon starting October 11, 2024.
