High Tea With 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. Welcome to High Tea with Lady V.

Hormonal Hump Day & Crawling Skin

Hello my beautiful Lady Gardens — it’s Wednesday, Hormonal Hump Day, and let me tell you… that title could not be more accurate for me today.

I’ve got my period. I’ve cried about ten times. I wanted to murder my husband because he was brushing his teeth too loudly — so let’s just say I am emotionally unhinged and the day isn’t even over yet.

Now, have you ever had that weird, creepy-crawly feeling on your skin — like something’s crawling on you, but there’s absolutely nothing there?

Or maybe your skin just feels itchy as hell for no reason?

Well ladies, here’s the thing: oestrogen isn’t just about moods, boobs, and babies — it also plays a huge role in collagen production and skin hydration. When our oestrogen drops during perimenopause and menopause, our skin becomes drier, thinner, and itchier.

So if you’re scratching like a flea-ridden cat and wondering what’s wrong — it might not be the laundry detergent… it might just be your hormones.

Happy Hormonal Hump Day, my loves — hydrate, moisturise, and try not to commit husband-related homicide.
