In this episode of the We’re Not Stumped podcast, host Mike Bolland welcomes Nicole Cuervo, the founder and CEO of Springrose, a groundbreaking company redefining adaptive intimates for women with disabilities, limited mobility, and chronic pain.
Nicole’s passion for inclusivity and empowerment stems from her own personal experiences. Inspired by her grandmother Rose, who lived with arthritis and chronic pain, Nicole realized the lack of functional yet fashionable clothing options for women facing similar challenges. In 2020, she launched Springrose to fill that gap, blending innovation with empathy to create a line of intimates that prioritize comfort, style, and accessibility.
During the conversation, Nicole shares her entrepreneurial journey, detailing the challenges of starting a socially impactful brand and the rewarding moments that come with making a difference in people’s lives. She delves into how Springrose products are designed to meet the unique needs of women who have been overlooked by the fashion industry, offering them a sense of confidence, dignity, and independence.
Nicole also discusses her broader mission to foster a more inclusive world. Through Springrose, she aims to bring visibility to the issues faced by individuals with disabilities and chronic conditions while championing the idea that everyone deserves to feel beautiful and supported in their skin.
This episode is packed with inspiration, insights, and practical advice for anyone interested in adaptive fashion, inclusive design, or starting a purpose-driven business. Nicole’s story serves as a powerful reminder that empathy and innovation can create meaningful change in the world.

Three years after her first appearance on We're Not Stumped, Rose Booth returns to the podcast to share an extraordinary journey of resilience, faith, and new beginnings. After enduring 14 surgeries, multiple episodes of sepsis, a heart attack, and the loss of her right leg above the knee, Rose found herself on a path she never expected. A former technology executive, she left corporate America behind and discovered a passion for writing and ministry. In this episode, Rose discusses her memoir Dancing in the Valley and the inspiration behind her new children's book, Rosie and Her Robot Leg. Inspired by the children she serves through Vacation Bible School and the questions they asked during her recovery, Rose created a story designed to help children, parents, and teachers better understand limb loss and disability.
Over the years, I've been asked a lot of questions—some serious, some funny, and some I've heard more times than I can count. In this solo episode of the We're Not Stumped Podcast, I'm answering five of the questions I get asked a lot. Do I wear a prosthesis? How do I bowl with one hand? Have I always had a positive attitude? Do people still stare? And what keeps me motivated? I'll share some stories from growing up with a limb difference, becoming the first person with limb loss to compete on the PBA Tour, overcoming cancer, and why I've learned that attitude isn't something you're born with—it's something you choose every day.
