🎙️ High Tea with Lady V – Fun Fanny Fact Friday: Molluscum Contagiosum 🎙️

This week’s Fun Fanny Fact Friday takes on a tongue-twister: Molluscum Contagiosum (say it with me: muh-LUSK-um con-TAY-juh-sum). It might sound like a Harry Potter spell, but it’s actually a harmless viral skin infection that can cause small, round, dimpled bumps — sometimes even on your lady garden.

In this bite-sized episode, I break down:
✨ What Molluscum Contagiosum is (and why it’s more annoying than dangerous)
✨ How it spreads (spoiler: skin-to-skin, often during sexy time)
✨ What the bumps look like and where they show up
✨ How it’s diagnosed and treated (yes, your doctor can zap, freeze, or cream them away)
✨ The do’s and don’ts to stop it spreading — including why you should put down the razor!

Molluscum might be contagious, but it’s not scary — and by the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to spot it, say it, and stop it.

Episode Title: Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder: When Your Bits Don’t Get the Memo

Episode Overview
This week on High Tea with Lady V, we’re diving into one of the rarest and most misunderstood conditions in women’s health: Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD). And no — it’s not as fun as it sounds. Imagine your genitals deciding to have a rave without your consent, complete with throbbing, pulsing, and even spontaneous orgasms… but without any desire or relief. Brutal.

We’ll break down what PGAD really is, how it’s different from hypersexuality, what it feels like, and why awareness is so important.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• 🔹 PGAD 101 — what it is, when it was discovered, and why it’s so rare
• 🔹 PGAD vs. Hypersexuality — the crucial difference between unwanted arousal and excessive desire
• 🔹 Who it affects — why it’s mostly studied in women (but men aren’t excluded)
• 🔹 Symptoms & sensations — from throbbing and tingling to relentless, unrelieved orgasms
• 🔹 Possible causes — pelvic blood vessel issues, cysts, nerve dysfunction, meds, and mental health links
• 🔹 Treatment options — medications, pelvic floor therapy, psychotherapy, distraction techniques, and more
• 🔹 The impact — how PGAD interferes with relationships, self-esteem, and daily life

Why This Episode Matters
PGAD may only affect around 1% of women (that we know of), but the impact is huge. It’s debilitating, isolating, and rarely spoken about because of shame and stigma. By shining a light on it, we’re opening the door for more conversations, more awareness, and hopefully more research and treatment options.

Resources & Links Mentioned in the Episode:

• Cleveland Clinic overview of PGAD
• Research by Leiblum & Nathan (2001), the first to identify PGAD (originally called PSAS)
• Pelvic health and sexual health specialists who are working to raise awareness

💌 Let’s keep the conversation going!

 Episode 3, Season 2 – High Tea with Lady V
"Perimenopause, Menopause & What the Actual F it’s Doing to Your Skin"

Hello my beautiful Lady Gardens,

Pour yourself a cuppa (or something stronger) - this week we’re diving face-first into one of the biggest head-f*cks of midlife: what perimenopause and menopause are doing to our skin, and why it feels like it’s happening overnight.

From dehydrated prune vibes to jowls that seem to appear out of nowhere, I’m breaking down exactly why your face hasn’t betrayed you - your hormones have.

In this episode:

•  The five key processes behind skin aging during perimenopause & menopause
•  Why inflammation is your skin’s hormonal drama queen
• How estrogen loss affects hydration, collagen, elastin, bone & fat pads
• The truth about skincare, injectables, and treatments that actually help
• My go-to products, ingredients & in-clinic favourites
• Skincare marketing BS you can stop falling for
• The one thing you must do for your skin no matter what: sunscreen

We’ll talk real talk — no anti-aging fluff, no miracle-cream lies — just evidence-based strategies mixed with my signature no-bullshit humour (and the occasional George Clooney reference).

Whether you’re in the middle of hot flushes or just want to get ahead of the hormonal storm, this episode will arm you with the knowledge to keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and as fabulous as possible in Acts 2 and 3 of life.

Links & resources mentioned:

• My full skincare product list (Instagram & website)
• Images of bone loss & fat pad changes
• My Tretinoin/Retinol starter protocol
• HRT & skin health info

Remember ladies: Knowledge is power. Power is wisdom. And a wise vagina is an informed vagina.

But seriously… trust me on the sunscreen.

B6 Bombshell: The Supplement You Didn’t Know Could Screw You- neurologically speaking. High Tea with Lady V

Pull up those knickers, grab your tea  or maybe something stronger because in today’s episode of High Tea with Lady V, we’re diving into a sneaky little stinker in your supplement stash: Vitamin B6 toxicity.

Yep, that “harmless” over-the-counter vitamin that’s supposed to help with mood, sleep, focus, energy  turns out it might be quietly frying your nerves faster than your kids on a family holiday.

You’re twitching, foggy, can't sleep, and some wellness influencer is telling you that magnesium will solve everything… but surprise! That magnesium often comes with a bonus: high-dose Vitamin B6.

And here’s the kicker:
It doesn’t hit like tequila it creeps in slowly.
Your legs start going numb. Your balance? Wobbly.
You start Googling, “Do I have MS, or am I just 45?”

Today, we unpack:

• What B6 is actually meant to do for your body
• How and why it ends up hidden in so many supplements, drinks, and powders
• Real stories of nerve damage linked to B6 - including a doctor who ended up unable to walk stairs
• My own journey with weird nerve issues, and how I found B6 lurking in nearly everything I was taking
• What you should be asking your doctor and your pharmacist before you pop another “natural” sleep aid

With over 100 reported cases to the TGA and likely hundreds more undiagnosed, this episode is an urgent call for all women in perimenopause and beyond:
Check your supplements. Know what’s in them. And don’t let your wellness routine quietly wreck your health. Plus we wrap with some practical advice, a little sarcasm (as always), and a cheeky preview of next week’s episode:
“The Great Drying Out” because menopause doesn’t just dry up your ovaries, darling  it takes your skin, your lube, and sometimes your will to live with it.

So hit play, have a laugh, maybe panic check your multivitamin  and stay hydrated, my beautiful lady gardens. 🌸

Because knowledge is power — and an informed vulva is a very wise vulva.

✨ What’s Brewing in This Episode?

Today we’re tackling one of the biggest feminine fibs out there: the idea that your vagina needs to smell like vanilla cupcakes and be power-washed daily.

Spoiler: She doesn’t.
 She’s self-cleaning. She’s smart. She just needs you to stop attacking her with perfume and soap. 

This episode is your no-holds-barred, all-flaps-welcome guide to proper vaginal care—minus the shame and scented nonsense.

What You’ll Learn (Without the BS)

• Why your vagina is self-cleaning and spectacular
• The top five things you should never do to your vulva
• What to do when she smells a bit… funky, but not fishy
• Lady V’s vulva care routine: gentle, cheap, and drama-free
• Why spraying perfume down there is basically a hate crime
• What’s normal when it comes to discharge and scent
• Why going commando is good for the soul (and the flaps)
• How to protect your vaginal microbiome like the queen it is 👑

 Lady V’s Takeaway Truth Bomb:

“Your vagina is not a Glade plugin. She doesn’t need to smell like ‘Mystic Orchid’—she needs respect and a pair of cotton undies.”

💡 Fanny Fact of the Week:

Your vaginal pH is more acidic than coffee. ☕
 So unless you’re planning to marinate in espresso… maybe skip the floral sprays.

 Lady Garden Care, Simplified:

• Wash the vulva only, with water or a pH-balanced cleanser
• Ditch the scented products – wipes, sprays, bubble baths, all of it
• Hydrate, eat your probiotics, and let her breathe
• Pee after sex. Always.
• Wear cotton undies… or none at all. #FreedomFlaps

The Letter, the Aneurysm, the Truth Bombs & the Accident: Louise Wilkinson’s WTF Life Plot Twist🎙️

Show Notes:

In today’s tear-jerking, truth-bomb-filled episode of High Tea with Lady V, I’m joined by my beautiful, brave, and bold friend Louise Wilkinson—host of How to Hack Your Heartbreak, speaker, life coach, and all-round powerhouse.

From heartbreak to healing, closed adoptions to brain aneurysms, and single motherhood to second chances—Louise’s story is one of sheer resilience, raw vulnerability, and fierce female power. And trust me, this is an episode you’ll be thinking about long after the last sip of tea.

We unpack:
 💔 Louise’s sudden discovery she was adopted—via a handwritten letter
 🎄 What it’s like finding out that you were born to someone else
 👨‍👩‍👧 The emotional journey of meeting her birth parents—and including her adoptive parents every step of the way
 🧠 A life-threatening brain aneurysm and the utter failure of the public hospital system
🚨 How fast action (and one divine twist of fate) saved her life
🚗 Her daughter’s near-fatal accident while working as a traffic controller
🧬 The family-wide ripple effects of trauma, PTSD, and healing
🌀 Her recent ADHD diagnosis and the clarity that came with it
👩‍👧 The beautiful bond with her daughters—and how she’s raising them with truth, humour, and grit

And of course, we finish with the iconic teapot question:
 “If your vagina could talk, what would it say about you?”
Spoiler alert: Louise’s answer is an absolute classic 😂

✨ Louise’s story reminds us that behind every strong woman is a past she doesn’t always speak about—but should. This is about reclaiming your identity, building your life brick by brick, and learning that the hard times don’t define you—they refine you.

🎙️ High Tea with Lady V – Peri-sode 2: What the F is Hiding in Your Medicine Cabinet?!

Hello, my beautiful Lady Gardens! In this episode of High Tea with Lady V, we’re diving deep into one of those big ol’ WTF health topics that’s been hiding in plain sight—or more accurately, hiding in your medicine cabinet.

We’re talking about diphenhydramine—a tongue-twister of a drug found in everyday medications like Benadryl, Panadol Night, and Unisom. It’s been used for everything from allergies to sleep to colds… but new research is now linking long-term use to memory loss and dementia. 😳

Tune in as we unpack:

• What diphenhydramine actually does in your body and brain
• Why it might be silently messing with your memory
• The scary dementia stats you need to know
• The difference between first-gen and second-gen antihistamines
• Common Australian products that contain it (yep, some for kids!)
• Safer alternatives and Lady V’s go-to sleepy-time swaps

This episode is your nudge to check your labels, trust your gut, and make informed choices—because knowledge is power, and your brain deserves better.

✨ And as always, expect real talk, zero sugar-coating, and a few cheeky laughs along the way.

💋 Stay tuned for next week’s episode on urinary symptoms—and no, we’re not holding back.

Sexuality. Empathy. Rage. Healing. And the overwhelming urge to just be left the hell alone.

This week on High Tea with Lady V, we sit down with the fierce and fabulous Peta Romeo—certified somatic sex and relationship coach, host of The Ecology of Intimacy podcast, and passionate advocate for women’s sexual healing and spiritual liberation.

Together, we dive into the raw realities of womanhood—what happens when we’re endlessly touched out, when our empathy is on E, and when our sexuality is buried beneath layers of trauma, people-pleasing, and societal shame. From the invisible weight of motherhood and perimenopause to reclaiming pleasure and learning about your actual anatomy (spoiler alert: your clitoris is way more powerful than you’ve been told)—this episode is an absolute liberation call for every woman who’s ever thought, “I love you… but please, for the love of God, don’t touch me.”

We talk responsive desire, the power of saying no, pelvic reflexology, cervical orgasms, and the practice of “Pilates” (yes, vaginal ones). This is not your mama’s sex ed class.

✨ Warning: unfiltered, unashamed, and radically empowering.
