I'm an influencer, mother of 3, and the founder of 'The Skinny Confidential.' Here's a day in my life in Austin.

Lauryn Bosstick. The Skinny Confidential This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Lauryn Bosstick , the 40-year-old founder and CEO of The Skinny Confidential, based in Austin. It's been edited for length and clarity. Before founding The Skinny Confidential , I was bartending five to six nights a week while in college full-time. I also taught Pure Barre and Pilates. I was doing what you were "supposed" to do, but it wasn't lighting me up. I was beating to the tune of what society told me I should do, and I felt incredibly entrepreneurial yet didn't know what to do. I started The Skinny Confidential as a lifestyle blog in 2011, in my junior year of college. From the beginning, I saw it as a brand.
