Ep 58 How to Embrace Adversity and Find Greatness Within You 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 58 How to Embrace Adversity and Find Greatness Within You

February 27, 2023 • Bernie Borges • Season 1 • Episode 58

In this episode, you’ll meet Marcia Donziger in a BF (before fulfillment) to AF (after fulfillment) episode.

Marcia was diagnosed with Stage 3 ovarian cancer and was told that she would never have children at the age of 27. She went into remission at age 28 and six months later she got divorced. Marcia experienced a lot of adversity at a young age. Yet, she used each adversity as a stepping stone in her life. Marcia knew that she was meant for great things!

Marcia started a non-profit that has been a blessing to many people. She just released a new book titled: You Are Meant for Great Things. And, now she is a new season of life that you’re going to hear about in this episode.

On episode 59 (a midweek episode) I will share my takeaways from my conversation with Marcia. Start by listening to my full conversation on ep 58 with Marcia Donziger.
