Ep 53 Your Path to Self-Discovery: Uncover Your Ancestry and DNA for a Fulfilled Life Artwork

Life Fulfilled Podcast — Because Work Shouldn’t Drain Your Life

Hosted by Bernie Borges | Founder, Fulfilled@Work Academy

Most people don’t realize it, but career struggles often bleed into every part of life: your health, relationships, energy, and sense of purpose. If you feel stuck at work, burned out, or quietly wondering, “Is this it?” you’re in the right place.

On the Life Fulfilled Podcast, Bernie Borges helps you decode where fulfillment is missing and how to get it back. While two-thirds of our episodes dive into career and workplace topics like engagement, quiet quitting, leadership, and burnout, we never lose sight of the full picture. We also explore how emerging forces like AI are reshaping the workplace and what it means for your role, your growth, and your sense of purpose.

Because fulfillment doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens across five interconnected life pillars: health, fitness, career, relationships, and legacy.

Through solo insights and expert guest conversations, Bernie brings practical tools to help you reclaim purpose and clarity, especially at work. As the creator of the Fulfillment Centric Leadership™ Framework, he equips professionals and business leaders to create meaningful, energizing careers without sacrificing the rest of their lives.

Whether you’re leading a team or leading your own comeback, subscribe now to learn how to build a life fulfilled, starting where you spend most of your time: at work.

Life Fulfilled Podcast — Because Work Shouldn’t Drain Your Life

Ep 53 Your Path to Self-Discovery: Uncover Your Ancestry and DNA for a Fulfilled Life

February 06, 2023 • Bernie Borges

This week's guest is Miri Rodriguez and this is a BF (before fulfillment) to AF (after fulfillment) episode.

Miri is a senior storyteller for Microsoft, a best-selling author of Brand Storytelling, and owner of Be Mindful, Be Happy. She is also a wife, mom, and cancer survivor.

When Miri Rodriguez was diagnosed with the BRCA mutation gene and given an 87% chance of developing ovarian cancer, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery to heal her body, spirit, and soul and also to reclaim her fulfillment.

After her BRCA mutation gene diagnosis, Miri went on an intense journey of self-reflection and healing. To get to a place of fulfillment, she had to take a break from everyone to focus on her own healing. She eventually realized that her fulfillment was found in getting back to her true self and understanding her ancestry and DNA makeup. Through this journey, she found the courage to fight and remain positive.

Miri shares three key points:

1. Uncover Your Ancestry and DNA Makeup as Part of Your Fulfillment in Life

2. Listen to Your Intuition, Even if it Sounds Crazy

3. Reframe Your Actions and Priorities with Freedom and Love

On the other side of my conversation with Miri, I reveal an epiphany that Miri enabled. You can use this insight to determine your own fulfillment goals.
