Each day get a 30 minute dose of financial inspiration

from the world's top business minds, authors, influencers,

and from Farnuus herself.

Looking for ways to save on gas or double your double coupons?

Sorry, you're in the wrong place.

Seeking profound ways to live a richer, happier life.

Welcome to So Money.

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.

And I say this as I've just completed a slice of pizza.

Whatever, it was veggie.

Lauren Slayton is here. She's the founder of Food Trainers, 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 here talking about the financial lessons she learned from her mom, a feisty

businesswoman in Manhattan who operated parking garages. That's hardcore. We also discuss the benefits, all the great benefits, of saying no. Just no. Why it feels so good.

That and of course how to stay in our genes over the holidays. Here is Lauren Slaeton.

Lauren Slaeton, welcome to So Money, great to have you on the show.

Hi, Farnuosh, thank you for having me. It's wonderful to have you on the show. Hi, Farnuuj, thank you for having me.

as we are winding things down
