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.

Ep 198 Embracing Age Pride and Evaluating Life Through Five Pillars

September 02, 2024 • Season 3 • Episode 198

Bernie devoted this 'On My Mind' episode to the concept of age pride and how it relates to the 5 pillars of midlife – health, fitness, career, relationships, and legacy. He explored the difference between happiness and fulfillment and shared his perspective on embracing age pride across these pillars.

Here are three key takeaways:

🔑 Age Pride: Bernie discussed the concept of age pride and encouraged listeners to view their age through the lens of the 5 key pillars of midlife - health, fitness, career, relationships, and legacy.

🔑 Fulfillment vs. Happiness: Bernie explored the distinction between fulfillment and happiness. While happiness is an emotion, fulfillment is soul-deep and associated with achievement. Fulfillment is usually immutable.

🔑 Room for Improvement: Bernie emphasized that there's room for improvement in his fulfillment in each of the 5 pillars of his life, but having age pride involves acknowledging your current state in each pillar and not being too hard on yourself.

The main takeaway from this On My Mind episode is to consider embracing age pride and assessing your fulfillment through the lens of each of the 5 pillars of midlife, for a holistic perspective on your journey.

Strive for fulfillment across health, fitness, career, relationships, and legacy, acknowledging that there's always room for growth.
