The Tao of Self-Confidence

Lauren Toyota is a former MTV Canada host and a YouTube sensation. Her channel and blog, Hot For Food, attract a wide and engaged audience of young people curious about how to make vegan food fast and fun. In less than two years, her YouTube channel has gained 330,000 subscribers. She lives in Toronto, Canada.  Her cookbook, Vegan Comfort Classics: 101 Recipes To Feed Your Face (Coming out February 27, 2018), is a fun and irreverent take on vegan comfort food that’s saucy, sweet, sassy, and most definitely deep-fried. Lauren's life back then wasn't so easy.  She used to be bullied for being mixed race which made her feel isolated.  It was in those moments of isolation that she was able to discover her inner voice that gave her the confidence to become her true self.   Check out thetaoofselfconfidence.com for show notes of Lauren's episode, Lauren's website, resources, gifts and so much more.
