🎙️ High Tea with Lady V

Episode: The Hormonal Rollercoaster, the Vortex Below, and Why You Should Offend More Often

Welcome back to High Tea with Lady V—where we spill the tea on midlife, hormones, and the beautiful chaos of womanhood with honesty, sass, and zero apologies.

In this episode, we dive headfirst into:

💥 Why being "nice" is overrated once you hit perimenopause
 🌪️ My current hormonal experiment (estrogen-only first phase, adding progesterone at day 14)
 💊 The different types of HRT delivery routes—and why we’re out of patches in Australia (but don’t worry, there’s still plenty of Viagra 🙄)
 🧬 The difference between the pill and HRT (synthetic vs bioidentical estrogen)
 🧠 Why this journey is full of trial and error—and why that’s okay
 📋 A DIY Menopause Symptom Score Test (grab a pen!)
 🧾 What tests to ask your doctor for so you're not missing something serious
 💪 Why “knowing your numbers” now can change your future
 🎉 The teaser you’ve all been waiting for… next week’s episode: THE PUSSY. (Yes, with a capital P.)
