As we approach the end of the year, I thought we’d like to hear from one of the country’s top health and nutrition coaches. Lauren Slayton is the founder of Foodtrainers, a private nutritional counseling office in New York City. She’s also the author of the popular book, The Little Book of Thin.

Lauren is on the podcast talking about the financial lessons she learned from her mom, a feisty business woman in Manhattan who operated parking garages. We also discussed the benefits of saying no and why it feels so good. And of course how to stay in our jeans over the holidays.

To learn more about Lauren visit her website foodtrainers.com or follow her on Twitter @foodtrainers.
