Lady V

Welcome to High Tea with Lady V. Why do we whisper about menopause? Why is a conversation about vaginas still taboo? It's time to change the narrative. High Tea with Lady V is the podcast for open, honest, and hilarious conversations about topics that affect all of us who have a vagina: menstrual health, body changes, perimenopause, menopause, motherhood, aging, sexual wellness, mental resilience, and the sheer joy of having a vagina. Join me, Lady V, and my guests as we share personal stories to debunk myths and empower each other to embrace every stage of womanhood. Expect real talk and maybe even a few tears as we navigate the beautiful, messy, and utterly human experience of having a vagina. Grab your tea, pull up a chair, and let's get real.

    High Tea with Lady V Relaunch: The female Health GAP - Your Welcome!

    Send a text High Tea with Lady V Relaunch: Lady Garden 101, Hormones, and Reclaiming P***y Power Lady V returns from a hiatus and relaunches High Tea with Lady V by re-releasing six favorite episodes every two weeks before new interviews and guests. She kicks off with the original Episode 101, framing the show as a no-filter space to talk about vaginas, vulvas, hormones, aging, and women’s health in plain language. Drawing on her experience as a registered nurse in cosmetics and “aging well,” and her personal motivation after her mother’s dementia and her own APOE4 risk, she critiques how girls were taught only to avoid pregnancy, how periods are used to dismiss women’s emotions, and how many vaginal and hormonal issues go unaddressed. She shares early experiences like thrush and highlights gaps in research, including women’s late inclusion in medical trials, and discusses HRT versus the pill in perimenopause, ending with a call to reclaim knowledge, voice, and power. If you’ve ever wondered why we can casually debate cryptocurrency and protein powder but get awkward the moment someone says “vagina,” you’re exactly who we made this for. Welcome to High Tea with Lady V, where we pull up a chair, put the kettle on, and talk about women’s health in plain language with zero shame and a lot of heart. We’re digging into the subjects women are too often told to whisper about: hormones, perimenopause and menopause, sex and desire, body changes, aging, motherhood, and the complicated truth of relationships. I’m Lady V, a women’s health advocate who believes honest conversation is a form of care. When we can name what’s happening in our bodies, we can ask better questions, spot red flags sooner, and stop feeling like we’re “too much” for wanting real answers. You’ll hear from experts, doctors, rebels, disruptors, and everyday women, because women’s health isn’t only clinical, it’s lived. Whether you’re driving the kids to sport, hiding in the pantry with chocolate, or staring at the ceiling at 3 a.m. while your hormones treat sleep as optional, there’s a seat here for you. Expect laughs, the occasional gasp, and those moments where you blurt out, “Why did nobody tell me this before?” If this sounds like your kind of honest women’s health podcast, hit subscribe, share High Tea with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review so more women can find us.

    Fun Fanny Fact Friday - Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS)

    Send a text It’s Fun Fanny Fact Friday – and I don’t know what’s more shocking… the fact I’ve got another wild fanny fact for you, or that it’s bloody Friday again already. So, ladies… have you ever heard of Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS)? Think varicose veins, but in your vagina/pelvis. Yep, your pelvic veins can swell, twist, and totally rebel, leaving you with a heavy, achy pain that feels like you’ve got a brick wedged in your uterus. 🔎 What it feels like: A constant dull ache (worse as the day goes on).Sometimes sharp or intense (often worse on the left).Pain that ramps up:  • Before/during your period  • During or after sex (that’s if anyone’s still doing that in their 40s )  • After standing, sitting too long… or walking (PCS said: “just lie down, queen”).Can radiate into your legs or lower back.Horse riding & weight lifting? Why it happens: Blood is supposed to flow nicely through your veins. In PCS, the valves don’t work properly → blood flows backwards → veins get engorged & twisty. Estrogen and pregnancy changes? Big culprits. How it’s diagnosed UltrasoundMRI / CT scanVenogram (fancy X-ray with dye to check blood flow) Treatment options: Lifestyle tweaks: avoid long sitting/standing, compression stockings, gentle exercise.Medications: hormonal therapy may help.Minimally invasive: vein embolization (tiny plug in the leaky vein so blood stops pooling).Surgery (rare, but an option).Takeaway: If you’ve had chronic pelvic pain that’s NOT linked to periods or pregnancy — don’t brush it off. Ask your doctor about PCS. You’re not crazy, babe… it’s literally your pelvic veins causing the drama. Thanks for listening! What topics do you want to delve into?
