Forget the PG-rated fluff. High Tea with Lady V is where we ditch the whispers and dive headfirst into the messy, hilarious, and utterly real experience of being a woman. This isn't your polite afternoon tea; it's a no-holds-barred conversation with your perimenopausal (and beyond) girl gang.

We're talking vaginas—pussies, peaches, VJs, fluffies—whatever you call it, we're discussing it. Hormones driving you crazy? We get it. Prepare for honest, unfiltered chats about the hormonal rollercoaster, especially that glorious (and terrifying) bus that hits in our forties and fifties.

Aging? Oh, we're going there. Face changes, body betrayals, and yes, even the dreaded "vagina gets bigger" conversation. We'll tackle it all, from pre-jowls to turkey necks.

Kids? We love 'em, but when estrogen dips, empathy can follow suit. We'll navigate the challenges of motherhood with raw honesty. And partners? Let's just say they should never breath nor eat when we are close by. We'll explore the delicate art of coexisting with them.

We'll also delve into the complexities of aging parents, and most importantly, share the stories of ladies just like you. Medical, physical, emotional, spiritual, vaginal—nothing is off-limits.

Expect laughter, tears, and maybe a few well-placed curses as we confront the injustices and hilarities of ladyhood. This podcast is for anyone who wants real, frank, and open conversations about the messy, beautiful reality of being a woman.

So, ditch the tea and grab your coffee. Jump in the car, crank the podcast, and join Lady V for a ride filled with raw truths and unfiltered honesty. Welcome to High Tea with Lady V—where we get fricking real.
