Yours In Butter is an inclusive + interactive podcast for folks that want to pull up a seat to the table, and everyone is welcome. Each week you’ll hear conversations about home cooking, good eating, and (real) lifestyle. Ava‘s perspective focuses on reality + love + family, and each week we’ll talk about some basics of cooking, regional dishes, and some of the cultural nuances that come along with those traditions. Food is partly what joins us together and we want to hear your take. We encourage you to share your story in audio format – just record it on your phone and send it to yoursinbutter@gmail.com If we can, we’ll include it in an upcoming episode. Welcome, we hope you’ll stay for dinner!

    Ivy Insights

    The Yours in Butter podcast hosted by Ava is a delightful and inspiring show that explores the world of food, baking, and life experiences. From the moment I started listening, I was captivated by Ava's raw and vulnerable storytelling, which instantly created a deep connection between me and the podcast. Despite never having met Ava in person, her words have resonated with me since 2013 when I first discovered her Instagram account through my hairdresser. Her dedication to embracing vulnerability has always been an inspiration to me, and listening to her on the podcast brings back fond memories of reaching out for no reason other than to connect. It's truly heartwarming to hear the love that emanates from her soul through her voice.

    The best aspect of The Yours in Butter podcast is undoubtedly the unique combination of comfort, tenderness, spice, and delicacy that Ava serves up in every episode. It's like enjoying a perfectly balanced dish accompanied by a crisp glass of "hurt your own feelings." As a self-proclaimed Truckey STAN (superfan), I can't get enough of how Ava seamlessly blends conversations about food and baking with discussions about life as a queer single mom. She brings about a deep sense of humanity and vulnerability that is rare to find in podcasts these days. It's like sitting at a chef's table in their kitchen as they chat openly about recipes and life experiences. Ava's ability to bring people together, whether it be in person or online, is truly remarkable. Her brave honesty and encouragement to be unapologetically oneself create a safe space for everyone who listens.

    While The Yours in Butter podcast has so many incredible aspects, it would be remiss not to acknowledge any potential drawbacks. One minor critique could be that at times, the episodes may lack structure or focus due to their conversational nature. However, this organic flow ultimately adds charm and authenticity to the show rather than detracting from it. It's like sitting down for a warm and friendly chat over coffee with a dear friend, where topics ebb and flow naturally. So, while some listeners may prefer a more structured format, others will appreciate the relaxed and casual style that Ava brings to the table.

    In conclusion, The Yours in Butter podcast is truly an exceptional show that has the power to bring people together through their shared love of food, baking, and life experiences. Ava's words are real, raw, and honest, creating a welcoming and inclusive presence that feels like eating a comforting dish for the soul. As someone who initially bonded with Ava through Facebook posts and her writing, I can attest to how she has brought wonderful individuals into my life by sharing her thoughts and perspectives. The Yours in Butter podcast is not just about food; it's about forging connections, embracing vulnerability, and finding solace in shared experiences. Thank you, Ava, for creating such a beautiful space for us all.
