If you’ve ever felt like your business was running your life instead of the other way around, you are going to feel so seen in this episode.
I’m talking with Christa Hanna of Burnt Toast Bakery about the wild, honest journey of growing a microbakery while navigating burnout, motherhood, and an ADHD diagnosis.
She shares what it was like to go from gifting loaves to running a full-blown bakery business almost overnight—and how that impacted her family, her mental health, and her love of baking.
We talk about the realities of burnout, what led her to take multiple extended breaks from baking, and the powerful reset she found after a trip to England to take a sourdough class. Christa opens up about the systems that now keep her business joyful and sustainable, why she keeps her menu simple, and how teaching workshops has brought a whole new level of fulfillment. Her story is vulnerable, validating, and full of practical insight for anyone building a bakery that fits real life.
