Celebrate with Rosie and her crew, Virginia, Ian, and Mike, as they reflect on two years of the podcast and Rosie’s incredible milestone of seven years of sobriety. In this anniversary episode, the crew looks back at how the show evolved from a simple phone recording into a vibrant lifestyle podcast centered around the Phish community. They dive deep into the power of vulnerability, the importance of self-love, highlight some unforgettable past guests, and talk about what the future holds for the show.

Key Takeaways: The Evolution of the Podcast: Rosie recalls her nervous first episodes recorded straight on her phone, and how her coworker Virginia stepped up to help piece them together. Sobriety and Self-Love: Rosie shares her personal story of growth, detailing how her sobriety forced her to learn how to love herself again, a theme that has beautifully echoed through recent guest interviews like Courtney Stasko. A Distinct Niche, Mike and Ian discuss how Boogie on Rosie Woman serves an underserved but deeply relatable lifestyle niche within the broader music and Phish community. Shoutouts to the Community: The crew gives credit to the friends, family, and listeners who support the show behind the scenes.

I want to give a special Trey Hey to Phish Chick Amber Hunter who reached out to me in late 2025/early 2026 who created a patch for me. That patch would be a big boost for me as it has become the Boogie On Rosie Woman Logo.

In this moving episode of Boogie on Rosie Woman, Rosie sits down with Courtney Stasco, a TedX speaker, author of Starry’s Journey, and founder of the non-profit Starry is Hope. Courtney shares her raw, heartbreaking, and ultimately inspiring journey after losing her husband, US Air Force Veteran Todd Michael Stasco, to suicide in 2019. Courtney discusses the traumatic night of Todd's death, her personal battle with survival and severe trauma, and how she turned her grief into a mission to help military families and first responders. Through emotional honesty, this episode tackles the shared stigmas of addiction, domestic violence, and mental health crises.

Courtney Stasco lost her husband to suicide in 2019. Since then, she has stepped into the light as a phenomenal voice for suicide prevention. She is a TedX speaker, author, and creator of the children's book series Starry’s Journey.

If you’ve ever spent the summer afternoon wandering down Shakedown Street or found yourself under the lights in Alpine Valley, Dicks, or Las Vegas, you know the scene runs on micro traditions. It’s a lot art, inside jokes, and the literal pieces of magic passed from stranger to stranger. And if you’ve been lucky, you’ve been handed a piece of that magic in the form of a custom Uno card.

Today’s guest sought me out, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have her on the mic. She is a pillar of the PHISH Uno community, a master crafter who spends endless hours creating specialized, highly detailed, lyric themed cards, tailored to specific venues and cities. Joining us today to talk about her fandom, the art of the deck, and what it means to keep this beautiful traditional alive is Phish Chick and member of the community, Liz Wood.
