We recently connected with Diana Moll and have shared our conversation below.

Diana , appreciate you joining us today. Risking taking is a huge part of most people’s story but too often society overlooks those risks and only focuses on where you are today. Can you talk to us about a risk you’ve taken – it could be a big risk or a small one – but walk us through the backstory.

The biggest risk I’ve ever taken was starting my business — “literally” from scratch.

After years in the corporate world as a Vice President/ Fiduciary Trust Officer, I never imagined becoming an entrepreneur. The idea actually came from my daughters, who saw how much I enjoyed helping friends and family organize their homes. They said, “Mom, you should do this for a living.” That simple moment changed everything.

I began at my kitchen table, researching, writing a business plan, and learning every step of what it takes to start a business — from registering my company to creating my own website and marketing materials. One year later, I officially launched, armed only with determination, creativity, and a belief that I could make it work.

Since then, I’ve grown my client base, launched a newsletter, and continued my podcast, Organizing with Ease, now as a solo host.

Starting from scratch was a leap of faith, but it taught me that with preparation, persistence, and a little courage, anything is possible.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I’m Diana Moll, founder and CEO of D’s Declutrr, LLC, creator of the Fresh Start Method®, and host of the Organizing with Ease podcast. I help clients simplify their homes and lives through hands-on organizing and my Fresh Start Coaching Program, which blends home organization with mindset and habit support to create lasting change.

My journey into this work began at home. After years in the corporate world as a Vice President and Fiduciary Trust Officer, I started organizing my own spaces — one room at a time — and developing systems that truly worked for my family. That process, which took a little over a year, became the foundation for the Fresh Start Method®.

Today, I work side by side with clients to understand their daily routines and challenges, whether they’re downsizing, moving in or out, or simply refreshing a kitchen, pantry, or closet.

What I love most is seeing their expressions when everything finally clicks — the moment they smile and say, “Now I understand, this is exactly where I want to be.” That’s when I know I’m doing what I’m meant to do — helping people feel at ease in their homes and confident in their fresh start.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

For me, building an audience on social media has been all about consistency and authenticity. I don’t have a huge following — but I have great followers. People who genuinely connect with my message and the work I do. I’m active across several platforms — Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, Substack for my newsletter, and YouTube, where I also share my podcast, Organizing with Ease, which streams across 28+ podcast platforms, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and iHeartRadio.

When I first started, I’ll be honest — it was not easy. It used to take me 50 or 60 takes just to record one short video. That’s a true story! I wanted every word to sound perfect. Over time, I learned to relax and show up as myself. Now, I record videos right from my car or during my “walk talks,” sharing short, real-life moments and tips that people can relate to.

Not every post lands the same way — and that’s okay. The key is that I keep showing up.

My advice for anyone starting out: don’t wait for perfect. Be consistent, be real, and keep telling your story. Your audience will find you when your message is genuine.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

My clientele has grown mostly through referrals and word of mouth, which I consider the greatest compliment in business. Many of my clients come from other clients who’ve experienced the transformation firsthand and want to share it with their friends, family, or coworkers. That personal recommendation means so much because it reflects trust and connection.

My website and marketing have also been key tools. They give potential clients a clear look at my work, my process, and whether my approach would be a good fit for their next home-organizing project.

But more than anything, it comes down to consistency and community. I stay active in local networking circles and to support other women-owned businesses. Even when we’re in different industries, I truly believe there’s nothing more valuable than women entrepreneurs learning from one another and lifting each other up.

That sense of collaboration, combined with showing up consistently and delivering real results, has been the most effective and rewarding way to grow my business.
