In this episode of Talk Twenties, we dive deep into the fascinating journey of Verity, best known for her time on Made in Chelsea. We uncover how she went from scheming her way onto reality TV to becoming a successful entrepreneur with her Clean Kitchen venture.

Verity opens up about the challenges she faced, including the harsh realities of the business world, the importance of knowing what truly matters in life, and how hustle culture led to burnout.

From raising millions for her business at just 26 to overcoming personal grief, Verity shares the lessons she’s learned, the value of Pilates for both body and mind, and her advice for those just starting out. This is a story of ambition, resilience, and redefining success.

Tune in to hear the unfiltered truth behind the glamorous facade.
