More About Jess

Jess is a visionary leader, award-winning neurodivergence specialist, and fierce advocate for women who live beyond the mold. As an Autistic and ADHD woman herself, she doesn’t just understand the experience—she embodies it. Every tool, insight, and strategy she offers has been lived, tested, and refined through her own journey of unmasking, self-discovery, and integration.

With a multicultural background, LGBTQIA+ identity, and deep spiritual awareness, she brings a layered, empathic lens to everything she does. She’s not here to pathologize difference—she’s here to reframe it, honor it, and use it as fuel for liberation.

Together with her mother and co-founder, Jodi Pliszka, she leads her practices with a bold, heart-centered mission: to challenge broken systems, deconstruct outdated narratives, and guide women into full-spectrum self-recognition—without apology.

Outside of work, Jess is most at home with her beloved animal family (Sphynx cats, 4 dogs, and a thriving saltwater tank) including her service dog, Wilhelmina ("Willie") by her side. Whether she’s advocating for disability rights, gaming, or creating space for women to finally feel seen, she moves with purpose, sovereignty, and deep compassion.

She’s not just helping clients "cope"—she’s guiding a movement of remembrance, reconnection, and revolution.

Jodi is a powerhouse of vision, grit, and heart. As co-founder of NeuroJess, she brings over 30 years of experience in neuroscience, entrepreneurship, and neurodivergent advocacy to the forefront of this work.

She’s an award-winning author and inventor, a public speaker, and CEO of a million-dollar company—all while navigating life as a single mother and proudly neurodivergent woman. Diagnosed as Autistic and ADHD later in life, her journey embodies everything this practice stands for: awakening, reclamation, and self-determined success.

Her research in applied neuroscience laid the foundation for the methodology used across both practices, with a specific focus on success strategies for high-masking, high-achieving women. What started as a personal exploration turned into a multi-generational case study when she used these same techniques to support her daughter, Jess, in her own neurodivergent evolution.

Together, they now operate as a dynamic mother-daughter team—mirroring the kind of empowered, emotionally sovereign, and radically authentic relationship they wish for every neurodivergent woman.

Jodi is also a fierce advocate for disability rights and inclusion. Her service dog, Minnie, and Jess’s service dog, Willie, accompany them in both life and mission. Alongside their Sphynx cats and marine animals (because of course), they champion a world where all beings are treated with respect, compassion, and dignity.

She continues to show up for this work not just as a leader, but as a living example of what it means to rise—again and again.

Jodi doesn’t just teach the path to success—she is the path.

At NeuroJess, we’ve spent decades studying applied neuroscience, unpacking outdated systems, and translating all that knowledge into something usable, real, and soul-aligned for the women we work with.

Our specialty? Making complex science accessible, meaningful, and actionable—so you can stop second-guessing yourself and finally understand how your brain actually works.

We don’t do cookie-cutter. We don’t do pathology. We don’t tell you to “cope” with being different.

Our work is equal parts:

Whether you’re just starting to question your neurodivergence or you’re deep in your awakening, we’re here to hold space, offer tools, and reflect back what’s always been true: you were never the problem.

If you’re ready to break out of the old system and step into something more, you’re in the right place.
