Meet Your Mentor
Hi, I’m Holly Becker - designer, bestselling author, creative entrepreneur, and mother who turned a bold dream into a beautiful reality.
Over twenty years ago, I left a secure corporate job in Boston with nothing but a vision: to build a creative life on my own terms and relocate to Europe. I had no roadmap, but I trusted my heart. Step by step, I built a thriving business, welcomed my son, and made northern Germany my home with my husband and child for the past 17 years.
Since then, I’ve:
➳ Been featured in hundreds of magazines, newspapers, books, and podcasts
➳ Authored four bestselling books translated into 20 languages
➳ Founded my own magazine (HOLLY), sold across German-speaking Europe
➳ Delivered keynotes at major design and business fairs across Europe, USA, and the UK
➳ Designed products, interiors, cafés, concepts, and trade show installations
➳ Built a global creative community through decor8, Instagram, and Substack
➳ Taught thousands of students online, at retreats, and in workshops worldwide
➳ Launched the podcast Hello Holly
I developed CREATIVE/LIFE to offer what I never had at the start of my journey: one-on-one support, honest feedback, and a trusted guide. My mission is to help you grow with clarity and confidence - in a calm, focused way, without hustle or overwhelm.
If you’re ready to step into your next chapter with focus, energy, and ease, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. ♡

My clients’ words mean everything - here’s what they’ve said about their journey through coaching with me.
Would you like to talk before booking?
If you’d like to meet before making your decision, we can arrange a private Zoom conversation. This will give us the opportunity to get to know one another, discuss what you’re looking for, and see whether my mentorship feels like the right fit for you. You’ll also be able to ask any questions you may have about my approach and what working together could look like.
To arrange a conversation, simply email me at holly@decor8blog.com, briefly tell me about yourself and what you’re looking for, and I’ll be in touch to find a time that works for us both.
"Working with Holly changed the trajectory of my life."
Working with Holly changed the trajectory of my life. When I came to her, I had two passions I couldn't seem to bring together: personal development and spirituality on one side, creativity on the other. They lived in separate parts of me, and I couldn't find a way to connect them.
Holly helped me bridge that gap.
Through her mentorship, she didn't just help me find clarity - she helped me uncover the idea that would become my business: a training program for Mindful Creative Coaches. It was something I never would have imagined on my own, yet the moment she reflected it back to me, I knew it was mine.
Because of that work, I found the courage to leave the security of my teaching career and begin creating a more independent, self-directed life in Mallorca.
What makes Holly exceptional is her ability to see what others miss. She listens beneath the surface, recognizes the gifts and possibilities you may not yet see in yourself, and helps bring them into focus. She has a remarkable way of uncovering what feels most true and helping you build a meaningful path forward.
I am deeply grateful for her guidance and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who feels called toward something bigger, more aligned, and more authentic. If you have the opportunity to work with Holly, take it.

FAQ
Can I receive a refund?
Because this is a personalized mentorship and a significant amount of preparation goes into our work together, mentorship purchases are nonrefundable and are not covered by Payhip’s standard 30-day refund policy. However, it’s very important to me that you feel supported throughout our time together. If something isn’t working for you, please talk to me. I’ll do my best to find a thoughtful solution, whether that means adjusting our approach or, when appropriate, offering credit toward one of my future courses.
How do I book my sessions?
After purchasing your mentorship, you’ll receive a link to my private Calendly calendar. From there, you can choose the dates and times that work best for you. Calendly will automatically display my availability in your local time zone, and your private Zoom link and passcode will be included in each confirmation.
You’ll also receive my email address and WhatsApp details so we can stay connected between sessions. If you need to reschedule, you can do so directly through the link in your booking confirmation without the need for back-and-forth emails.
Do you offer in-person sessions?
Yes. If you’re in or near Hannover, Germany, we can arrange to meet in person. I’m also available to travel to clients within Germany, the UK, and Europe, with all travel-related expenses covered by the client and agreed upon in advance.
If I travel to you, we can also discuss creating a longer, more immersive experience that combines our private mentorship session with additional time together over lunch or dinner.
Can I continue working with you after completing my mentorship?
Absolutely. If you’d like to continue our work together, you’re welcome to purchase another mentorship package. When you book again within 3 months of your final session, you’ll retain your current rate, even if my prices have increased.
Still not sure?
That's okay! I'm here for you. Reach out to schedule a free 15–20 minute Zoom call where we can connect, get to know each other, and explore how these sessions can best support you!
