    Dear Friend,  Want to save over 1200 calories on your next meal, and still be satisfied? I'm going to show you how to turn a 1855 calorie meal into a 560 calorie meal, but first… If I'm speaking to a company, school or organization about health, I love to start with how to eat healthier at Chipotle. Why? It's an instant attention-getter- Many people like Chipotle, and just about everyone is trying to eat healthier and lose weight. I put the Chipotle nutrition menu on a large screen in front and the room and the audience and I design our meal together. Everyone in the room is riveted. Why Chipotle? Even for discerning diners, Chipotle can be a better choice when trying to eat healthier on the go, or feed your family quickly, while keeping one eye on health. Below are some of my best secrets, but to see/hear exactly how to do it, watch/listen to my podcast below.

    Finding Fulfillment At Work/Home

    Do you feel fulfilled at work? Home? Are you wondering if you're alone in how you feel? The quote below is what I've understood talking to my audiences and coaching clients. “Gallup, in its recently released State of the Global Workplace: 2022 report, found that, along with dissatisfaction, workers are experiencing staggering rates of both disengagement and unhappiness. Sixty percent of people reported being emotionally detached at work and 19% as being miserable. Only 33% reported feeling engaged ­­— and that is even lower than 2020.” And if we are unhappy at work, that will affect our home life. So, what can we do about it, short of looking for another job, and perhaps continued unhappiness? Maybe we can find fulfillment right now. Watch/Listen to find out how.

    Dear Friend, If you've watched/listened to my previous podcast, How To Be Better, Not Just Feel Better, with therapist, Jill Mackey, you know how packed it is with life-saving information. I write, “Life-Saving” because that's what the information did for me. It saved, then gave me my life back from endless self doubt, rumination, worry, panic, fear, and hate. I think you'll find today's podcast even more life-changing because, if you, like me, have that little voice in your head that makes you doubt yourself, then there is no doubt in my mind that what Jill and I share will help you.

    Dear Friend, Every once in a while I read a book that stays with me. Amanda Fairbanks', The Lost Boys of Montauk, is one of those books. In it she writes about the tragic true story of four men who vanished at sea, and the families they left behind. If she stopped there it would have made for a riveting story, but she went deeper, exploring the generational traumas that often lie under the surface of most tragedies, still affecting the survivors 37 years later. I connected to the respectful, honest way the struggles that many of us experience in our own families and relationships were explored in this book, whether they were wealthy manhattanites summering in “The Hamptons,” or local fishing families living off the sea (my sympathies for all the families involved). She also shared something my favorite authors do, what motivated her to tell this compelling story. Though full of heartbreak and loss, the book does end with hope. Oh, and she was so cool about meeting and signing my book, a thrill for me to meet authors I admire. It probably seems obvious- I recommend this book . Enjoy, my friends! I purchased it at Canio's in Sag, Harbor, NY (You can buy online-https://bookshop.org/shop/caniosbooks, or #amazon. @amandamfairbanks #thelostboysofmontauk #greatbooks #montauk #thehamptons #author #read #books --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/peter-kofitsas/message
