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.
