I’ll tell my story over and over again because when you’ve gone from wondering how much longer you can keep a roof over your head to building multiple businesses from the ground up, you don’t take that progress for granted.
Just a few years ago, life looked very different for me. I was a single mom to my nonverbal autistic son, working a full time WFH job, doing DoorDash on the side, and processing laundry orders for another company.
At the time, I knew the eviction process better than the average person should. I always managed to dig myself out right before my court date, but by the time I scraped up enough to cover rent, late fees, and the extra $350 to cancel the eviction, the next month’s rent was already due. I could never catch up, and each month I wondered if this would be the time I’d pack up our things to live in my car.
I made a post in a local Facebook group hoping to earn a little bit of extra money on the side. I wasn’t trying to build a business, I was just trying to survive the week.
That post received more support than I ever would have imagined, and just a few months later, The Laundry Lady LLC was born.
I’ve made plenty of mistakes, learned some hard lessons, and dealt with things that could have ended this business. But here we are, three months away from our third year anniversary, and I’m so incredibly proud of that.
Along the way, I’ve built a village. I have an amazing group of independent contractors who help make all of this possible, and I get to help them support their families too. Together, we’ve earned almost 100 five star Google reviews, been featured in VoyageDenver Magazine, and taken home Gold for Best of the Springs 2026. I’ll also be speaking at a women’s summit in April, and I never imagined that sharing my story would give me the chance to encourage other women.
We’ve expanded to Utah, and we’ll be doing business in Arizona by January. I opened our sister company, Lake Norman Laundry Co. in North Carolina, which celebrated its first anniversary this year. I also just registered my next business this month, and soon I’ll be teaching others how to start and scale their own laundry service.
The Laundry Lady page is also monetized! I’m still learning to get comfortable on camera, but knowing that sharing what I’m building can create another source of income is pretty exciting too.
Most importantly, we’ve been able to help so many people by taking laundry off their plate. Something that started because I needed help supporting my own family has turned into something that helps other families too, and that means so much to me.
I still have a lot I want to accomplish, but there was a time when the life I have now would have felt impossible. I’m proud of what I’ve built, but more than anything, I feel incredibly blessed— to do work that matters to me, to support my son, and to have so many people rooting for this little business of mine.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. Whether you’ve placed an order, shared my posts, recommended us, or supported that very first post I made, you’ve been part of this.
Nominations for Best of the Springs are open, and if you feel we’ve earned it, I would really appreciate you taking a moment to nominate The Laundry Lady LLC. Winning Gold this year meant so much, and I’d be grateful for the chance to do it again. ❤️
