Rochelle Humes
About this episode

In this powerful episode of Ladies Who Launch, Rochelle sits down with Bryony Basse (neé Deery), her Cloucha matcha co-founder, wellness expert, podcaster, and founder and creator of Pilates By Bryony — the global wellness platform transforming how women move, strengthen, and reconnect with themselves.


Bryony shares her deeply personal story:

• Growing up with instability and anxiety

• Her life-changing accident which led her to Pilates

• Navigating burnout in her corporate years

• How Pilates became her anchor, and then her calling

• Building a digital wellness brand with global impact

• The discipline and mindset behind her success

• The truth about wellness, routine, and inner work


This episode is raw, grounding, and inspiring — the kind of conversation that reminds you it’s never too late to rebuild, reroute, or rise.
