Life Fulfilled Podcast — Ever wonder? “Is this all there is?”
Ever find yourself wondering, “Is this it?”
Yeah, me too. That ache for real, soul-deep fulfillment is exactly why this show exists. A richer life is closer than you think.
I’m Bernie Borges, Founder of the Fulfilled@Work Academy™ and creator of the Fulfillment Centric Leadership™ framework. Every Monday, I bring you real, practical conversations centered around the five pillars of a fully lived life:
- Health – aligning your mind and body to thrive
- Fitness – moving in ways that energize, not exhaust
- Career – loving Mondays again (or finding the courage to pivot)
- Relationships – showing up for the people who matter most
- Legacy – creating a life story you’re proud to tell
Here’s what you’ll experience:
- Honest stories from real people navigating fulfillment in real time
- Solo episodes with lessons I’m learning (and unlearning)
- Insightful guest conversations packed with takeaways you can use now
Tune in if you’re ready to:
- Replace burnout with fresh purpose
- Feel strong—in your body and in your voice
- Recharge (or reinvent) your career
- Rekindle relationships that matter
- Start building a legacy that outlasts you
No matter your age or stage, a more fulfilled life is possible.

Life Fulfilled Podcast — Ever wonder? “Is this all there is?”
Ep 60 Finding Fulfillment in Midlife Through Serving and Giving
In this BF (before fulfillment) to AF (after fulfillment) episode, Mike McKeown shares his transition from a focus on traditional things like career, family, and finances to living a life pleasing to God.
Mike wants to leave a lasting impact, and he discovered true fulfillment by doing what his creator has gifted him with.
Here are the key points we discussed:
- Mike's goal was to build up a spiritual heritage and leave a legacy. He read the book "Die Broke" in 1993, which encouraged him to spend his money making memories and helping others. He realized that true fulfillment comes from doing what your creator has gifted you with. He didn't want to be on his deathbed wishing he had spent more time living life with God's purpose.
- Mike started a ministry with a friend called BibleBagMinistry.org, where he gives out Bible bags to people and meets their needs by giving out blankets, hats, and food.
- Mike encourages everyone to do their own research and come to their own conclusion about the existence of God, the truth of the Bible, and the resurrection of Jesus.
Mike's story is an inspiration to anyone who is searching for fulfillment and purpose in life. He found his purpose by serving and giving to others, and by living a life pleasing to God.
As you listen to this episode think about how you're living your life according to the gifts given to you by your creator.
