The Burnt Toast Podcast

I can’t express how much this podcast has meant to me, and truly to so many sides of me—the mom unlearning that food is one of the ways I must show love for my kid whose sensory processing differences leave room for only 5% fat Fage yogurt and non-squishy chocolate cookies; the millennial seeking to divest herself from diet culture and actually internalize that health is possible for everyone but its performance is owed to absolutely nobody (and health and worthiness aren’t synonymous!); the cis woman who wants to understand her actual body and not the version of a body she’s been shamed into distrusting or trying to change. This podcast speaks to all these threads and so, so many more. I appreciate Virginia’s insights so much, and the guests she features couldn’t be of higher caliber. Cheers for existing, Burnt Toast! I recommend y’all to literally everyone who will listen! 😘

From a mid-forties mom, this is so relatable and such important discussion. Plus the shoes recs are on-point. Thanks!

Thanks to this podcast I’ve been able to stop the endless search for a whole grain bread that my child will eat, let him have white bread, see that this did not affect his health, and move on with my life. Thank you!!

I don’t have kids and I’m not fat but I love this podcast! Virginia handles so many topics that affect us all- from body, food, exercise, kids, clothes, lifestyle, social issues- with kindness and unflinching dedication to trying to be better. She makes me want to be better. I’m thankful for the past year of burnt toast and looking forward to (hopefully) many more! (also if you love the show, there’s bonus episodes on patreon- go check them out!!)
