Today we’d like to introduce you to Holly Ecimovic.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I’ve been a digital editor and content creator for more than 12 years. I’ve worked in radio, TV News, and digital broadcast. Throughout my media career though, I was always writing and producing my own books and journals, which I sell through my online store, HollyEcimovic.com. I have always had a passion for writing since I was practically a toddler. You could say I really went “all in” in my writing business when tragically, my brother passed in 2016. His death really lit a spark in me that inspired me to create. I specialize in producing unique, heart-centered journals to help you cope with grief and loss. Losing my younger brother when he was only 28 years old changed my life drastically, so I’ve made my life mission to bring goodness out of the pain, to provide people with journals that have true purpose. I also show people how to create and sell their own beautiful designs. Courses I have created are also available, one on Confidence and Dream Journaling, and one that’s all about planning your own digital content, and creating your own website. Right now, you can also find hundreds of free journaling printables on my website, I love helping people! HollyEcimovic.com/free-downloads
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I would say that being resourceful, willing to learn, and figuring stuff out on your own is key. I have spent countless hours teaching myself how to create sales funnels, learning Pinterest marketing, as well as how to do my own email marketing, for starters. You also can’t give up if you don’t hit a certain goal. The trick is to not take anything personally and to keep on going. I have found that opportunities open up when you just keep moving. A struggle I have dealt with is keeping focused when trying to do many projects at once. Also, in order to get your stuff out there, you can’t be afraid of what people will think, or say. I think it’s key to be resilient, expect adversity, and let it propel you, instead of getting discouraged by it.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I’m most known for creating and selling journals, and for helping people to cope with grief and loss. As I mentioned before, losing my younger brother inspired me to create and to help other people use the art of journaling to get through tough times. Some of my signature products I offer include The Service Journal: How to start volunteering for beginners (dedicated in memory of my brother, Jonathan Robert Henry; The Heart Journal: A Self-Care Workbook; The Dream Board Journal; The Ultimate Fitness Manifestation Journal; and several of my Mini Manifestation Guides are really popular. I like to inspire people to think outside the box. My recent creation, Sage Midnight: Ultimate Manifestation Journal is unique in that it combines a ‘dark nature theme’ with a goals-and-inner-work vibe. I think what makes my journals unique, is that when you interact with them, use the prompts and do the worksheets, you get reminded that YOU matter, and you are important, something that many people who are struggling need to be reminded of.
We’d love to hear about any fond memories you have from when you were growing up?
When I was young, we lived in Virginia. We had a very large backyard, and woods on two sides of the yard. I remember being able to sit in a really awesome, huge tree because some of its branches were drooping down, very large, and conveniently kind of shaped as a throne. I loved going in there. It was shady and very cool to be there. I loved that tree. It was very Bridge to Terabithia – esque. Maybe even A Wrinkle in Time.
