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.
