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.
