Today we’d like to introduce you to Diana Moll.
Hi Diana, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Earlier in my career, I worked in the Trust Department at a local bank where I had to support my client’s needs and their future planning. Managing was part of my daily work routine.
After 16 years, I left Trust Banking to focus on my family. While raising my two children and caring for my Mother, going back to work was always in the back of my mind, but I was not sure where and what type of work I would go back to. My children gave me the idea of starting my own business. As I thought about this, I wanted to pursue something that would be a challenge and make me happy.
What I did know was that I loved helping my friends and family organize and declutter when they needed assistance. As a full-time mother of two children. I know what is needed to create a system to keep a “New Clean Life.” I work with what I have in my own home to organize and I use this method with my clients. Creating spaces for what matters!
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I always worked in Corporate America. The thought of starting and owning my own business was so daunting; especially the first steps of how and what to do. I am very passionate about working with clients to get them organized and meet their goals. Knowing that I can make a difference not only for one person but for an entire family, made me work hard to start my own business. Once officially opened, I started to spread the word about my business, I was ready to take this challenge on. I created my website, shared my stories on social media and placed a footprint in the world as a “Professional Home Organizer”. I am so grateful to be able to share my experiences.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about D’s Declutrr?
I work to help individuals create functional spaces and systems. D’s Declutrr finds organizing solutions to better manage time and space for what matters most to the client. I am passionate about working with clients and helping them get organized.
D’s Declutrr provides solutions for the home, including residential organizing services, moving in and out, downsizing and virtual organizing. D’s Declutrr focuses on working and decluttering together with the client, even giving homework assignments between the scheduled sessions.
Each homework assignment makes the client feel good about what they are doing, and it makes a difference not only in the home, but in the way they see the process evolving.
Every client’s needs and goals are different. Many times, organizing things by putting them in newly bought containers is not always the right way. D’s Declutrr tries to focus on decluttering to avoid further chaos and uses what the client already owns and repurposes what they have before going out and buying new organizing containers. A good outcome is knowing where something is when you need it.
In 2019, I wrote and published, “In the Know” Basic Life Skills 101. Twenty Notecards that are easy and simple to read for ages 11 and up in middle school through high school, teaching important life skills from house chores to handling money to staying safe. Sharing tips for other parents and children is what makes me happy. I just love to share my knowledge and experience with others, hoping that it helps you look at things differently. New Clean Life!
What was your favorite childhood memory?
Attending Montessori School from Pre-K though second grade, I learned early on that after playing with toys, they always have to go back where they belong. When I was younger, I did not fully understand the concept of “organizing” but I did understand that things that I used needed to be picked up and returned to where I found them. This was part of my daily routine. Over time, it just became second nature. Additionally, I had European parents who taught me those same methods and incorporated household chores as part of my weekly routine. These daily childhood practices have helped me now work with my clients, and my 2 children. It takes baby steps; we can all do it! One step at a time.
