Rose Booth Returns: From 14 Surgeries to “Rosie and Her Robot Leg”

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.

Rose also shares her hopes for the future of the Rosie series, her involvement with the Moving Forward support group in Louisville, Kentucky, and why she believes representation and understanding matter.

Join us for an uplifting conversation about perseverance, purpose, and finding joy after life’s unexpected challenges.

Hosted by Mike Bolland, We’re Not Stumped celebrates resilience, adaptive living, and the stories of people who prove that life doesn’t end when adversity begins.
