Today on Too Opinionated, we sit down with Author Rose Barroso!

Rose Barroso has built an empire in two of the most male-dominated industries in the world—luxury real estate and custom home construction. Now, she's breaking new ground as an author with her powerful debut memoir, Indestructible: Transforming Survival into Success, releasing January 2026 through Sutherland House Experts. Born in Portugal and raised in Toronto, Barroso's story is not one of privilege or easy breaks. Abandoned by those meant to protect her and raised in a shattered family, she learned early that survival meant building walls around her heart, around her dreams, around her very sense of self. But walls couldn't silence the echoes of self-doubt, fear, and rage that lingered long after the bruises faded. Indestructible rips the mask off a life built in defiance of deep trauma. With raw vulnerability and unapologetic strength, Barroso exposes the hidden scars of her childhood and reveals how pain shaped her, tested her, and ultimately forged her into a tenacious woman who conquered her inner demons—and the boardroom. This is more than a memoir. It's a battle cry for anyone who's ever been told they would amount to nothing. It's a roadmap for women in spaces where they're underestimated, overlooked, and undervalued. And its proof that healing doesn't make you soft; it makes you unstoppable.
