Laundry and Other Mysteries

Welcome to a special episode of Laundry and Other Mysteries recorded live on the Clubhouse app! Our special guest is tennis pro, Abi Spears, and we are discussing an upcoming exhibition women's doubles match called the Tennis Love Event that she is hosting in Colorado Springs in September 2021!

Before we get started let me put up a couple of trigger warnings: There will be a frank discussion of sex trafficking and sexual abuse.

There is also a layer of religious discussion because the topic involves a religious group home.

With that being said, go get your cuppa! I‘ll wait right here.

When you get back we’ll sit down with my friend Jacqui Staples who I had the pleasure of interviewing last year about her amazing passion project, Sarah’s Home, a Christ-centered sanctuary for girls who are rescued from sex trafficking.

The best way for you to overcome your personal battles with laundry may very well be to make friends with it. Except for socks. Socks are evil.

In this episode, the Laundry Diva talks about the trouble with socks and how to keep them matched before and after the wash.

The Laundry Diva also discusses her personal relationship with true crime, including a true-crime show.

Before the end, the Laundry Diva will share some (local) community announcements.

Feel free to reach out if you have any laundry pet peeves, laundry hacks, or community announcements that you would like to share. Get in touch with the Laundry Diva at coloradodiva@gmail.com.

Trigger warning for some adult language.

For the record, I found this second part of the conversation, “It All Works Together” extremely motivating. If you are still trying to find some come kind of motivation to get your 2020 in gear, then throw those clothes in the dryer, pull up a cuppa, sit back and tune in to episode two of Laundry and Other Mysteries with your host, Desiree HIckson, also known as The Laundry Diva

On a quiet Friday morning, two days after Christmas, I sat down in the conference room, in Miriam’s Place, to chat about laundry and community service with Dr. Lauren Penn of PinPoint Chiropractic in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The conversation morphed from a discussion of the biggest challenge she has to getting her laundry put away and her closets organized and how she was motivated to start a sack lunch program for the homeless in Colorado Springs to her business philosophy, entrepreneurship, and service and her amazing reading list.

The entire interview is too long to share in one sitting, so I’ve broken it down into two episodes. The first episode will cover her challenges with laundry, her faith and inspiration for her community service. The second episode will cover her business, her philosophy on entrepreneurship, and the books she recommends to every entrepreneur.
