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 197 You Can Harness the Power of Purpose in Midlife Career Resilience
In episode 197, Bernie shares an 'On My Mind' episode with five key takeaways from his conversation with Mark Daley on episode 196.
Mark is embarking on a new career journey in his sixties. Bernie shares five takeaways from Mark's inspiring story.
In the opening of the podcast Bernie asks you to listen to all five takeaways because they all fit together.
The fifth takeaway is Bernie's main takeaway, which is captured in this episode's title. This takeaway is the accumulation of takeaways 1 through 4.
Don’t get too caught up in the details of the ROLM story. Maybe you think it’s interesting and maybe you don’t. This story is about being resilient and chasing a dream in this phase of your life, whether or not it is in your career.
Mark has commitment. He has a purpose. He found his why. And, he’s going after it. He knows what he wants, why he wants it and he is determined to achieve it.
What about you? What dream do you have that you want to chase? Are you listening to naysayers? Are you letting the voice in your head talk you out of it? Has someone suggested that you don’t have enough runway, as was suggested to Mark?
I encourage you to use Mark Daley’s story to get motivated to chase your dream.
It doesn’t have to be an entrepreneurial dream. It doesn't even need to be career-related. If it is career-related, it can be a dream in your current place of employment or in your business.
If you’re a business leader, consider how your employees have their own dreams. Are you encouraging them to chase their dreams? Consider how powerful this motivation can be for your employees. It has the power to reignite a fire, a passion, a new level of energy that can be extremely fulfilling for them and with great impact on your business.
If you’re a business leader in search of doing this with your employees, get in touch with me. I want to help you ignite a fire for your employees in your business.
