ANECDOTE

Jenny’s Diagnosis Explained Her Organizing Career

Jenny Dietsch recognized her ADHD after two children were diagnosed and pursued evaluation alongside them.
Her doctor immediately understood why a professional organizer had ADHD because her systems compensated for executive-function challenges.

ANECDOTE

ADHD Can Hide Behind Good Grades

Jenny’s children displayed ADHD differently: one struggled with distractibility, while her son had strong grades but significant social difficulties.
ADHD can affect social-cue reading and acceptance even when academic performance looks excellent.

ANECDOTE

Diagnosis Replaced Jenny’s Childhood Shame

As a child, Jenny arrived late, misplaced shoes, missed assignments, and felt like the source of family stress.

_____

Jenny Dietsch was the kid with papers flying out of her backpack, missing shoes, forgotten assignments, and parents asking, why can’t you just get it together?

Today, she runs a seven-figure professional organizing company. And weirdly enough, that makes perfect sense.

Jenny is a certified professional organizer and the founder of Getting It Done Organizing, a seven-figure home organizing and move management company in Dallas.

She was diagnosed with ADHD in her 40s after two of her three kids were diagnosed first. Suddenly, a lot of her own life made sense too. Her doctor saw the irony right away: Jenny had spent years building the systems she needed to function, then built an entire business around helping other people do the same.

Then the business scaled, and some of the chaos she thought she had left behind came right back with it.

In this episode, Jenny and Tracy talk about why structure can create more freedom for an ADHD brain, what happened when Jenny’s growing business became too chaotic even for her, and how she rebuilt it using repeatable systems, workflows, and routines.

If your life looks like chaos from the inside, this one is about what can change when you stop fighting your brain and start building around the way it actually works.
