    Rosie sits down with Meggan Kerkenbush, co-owner of the iconic Bridgeman's Ice Cream brand, to explore how a 90-year-old company is thriving by leading with heart, purpose, and people-first practices. From serving up sundaes to teaching life skills, Meggan shares how their small business is building future-ready leaders, one scoop at a time.

  • Rosie in My Pocket: Endurance
    Feb 3 2026

    What if endurance isn't about pushing through, but tuning in?

    Rosie revisits her days teaching endurance spin classes to reflect on what true endurance means in our lives today. She invites us to rethink our relationship with hard moments: not as something to get through, but something to be present in.

    From savoring a rainy walk to being truly moved by the presence of loved ones, Rosie challenges us to stop just enduring life and start deeply experiencing it. Through personal stories and heartfelt reflection, she offers a compelling invitation to reconnect with the beauty, even in the mundane. Because when we stop enduring and start engaging, we unlock our true sparkle. ✨
