What do you get when you mix superstition, serial murder, and homemade soap? In this episode of The Burnt Toast Club, we dive into the gruesome and bizarre story of Leonarda Cianciulli, the seemingly sweet Italian woman who turned her victims into soap and teacakes — all to “protect” her son.

Was she a delusional mother? A witch? Or just Italy’s most twisted killer?

We break down her chilling crimes, the strange rituals she believed in, and how she literally boiled her victims down to bars of soap in her kitchen. This one’s dark, messy, and weird in all the right ways

In this episode, I share my personal story—one shaped by struggle, resilience, and growth. From multiple surgeries and a battle with addiction to the life-changing loss of my leg, every chapter has pushed me to become a stronger version of myself.

Now, as a mother, creator, and woman in recovery, I’ve learned to turn pain into purpose. What once felt like the end has become the foundation I stand on—both for myself and for my family.

In 1948, a well-dressed man was found dead on an Australian beach with no ID, no wounds, and a mysterious scrap of paper that said just two words: Tamám Shud. To this day, no one knows who he was, how he died, or why he was carrying a secret code.

In this episode of Burnt Toast Club, we dive into one of the strangest unsolved cases of all time—from whispers of Cold War spies to hidden messages in poetry books. This one’s got everything: mystery, conspiracy, and a dead guy sitting peacefully like he just gave up on reality.

Is it possible the Earth isn’t just a planet— but a living, breathing organism? In this episode of Burnt Toast Club, we dive into the weird, wild world of the Gaia Theory: the idea that the Earth functions like a single, self-regulating life form. From mushrooms that talk to trees, to the invisible intelligence of nature itself, we explore what it would mean if the planet we live on is actually conscious.

You ever hear about the time Australia declared war on… a bunch of giant birds? Yeah. That’s not a joke. In this episode of Burnt Toast Club, we spark up and dive into one of the weirdest military operations in history: the Emu War. Real soldiers. Real machine guns. Real emus… who won.

We get into how it started, what went hilariously wrong, and why this feathery fiasco still hits way too close to home today.

Why do governments always think more firepower = more control? Why are birds so unbothered? And would you have surrendered if you were an emu?

Grab your toast, hit play, and let’s talk about the war they don’t teach in school—but absolutely should.

If you’re waiting for the perfect moment to chase your dream, you might be waiting forever. In this episode, we’re talkin’ about what it really means to start—even when you’re terrified, overwhelmed, or not “ready.” I share the honest truth about why I kept putting off recording this very episode, the excuses I made, and the moment I realized they were all just fear in disguise.

We’ll dive into the science of fear, motivation, and momentum—and why starting scared is often the only way forward. Plus, a weird hypothetical that’ll twist your brain: What if your future self is begging you to take the leap today?

This one’s for the over-thinkers, the perfectionists, and anyone who knows they’re meant for more but can’t seem to pull the trigger.
