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.

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.
