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 211 Leader Evolution Reshapes Modern Leadership through Fulfillment
In this 'On My Mind' episode, I'm diving into a transformational topic: Fulfillment Centric Leadership (FCL). Drawing inspiration from a presentation I delivered at the National Society for Leadership and Success' (NSLS) annual virtual summit, where I received the highest score of all summit speakers, I share the first three steps from my "10 Steps to Fulfillment Centric Leadership" for today's leaders.
This episode begins with the shocking statistic from Gallup's State of Global Workforce report that only 23% of the global workforce is engaged in their jobs. The remaining 77% are moderately to extremely disengaged, costing the global economy a staggering $8.9 trillion in lost productivity!
🔑 Three Key Discussion Points:
1️⃣ Start with Your Own Journey: To truly lead others, begin with a self-assessment of your own fulfillment across health, fitness, career, relationships, and legacy pillars. Self-awareness equips you to be an empathetic leader.
2️⃣ Understand the 5 Pillars of Fulfillment: These pillars form the foundation of every individual’s life. Knowing and supporting your team's journey across health, fitness, career, relationships, and legacy enhances your leadership impact.
3️⃣ Let the Data Guide You: Engage with your team through regular check-ins and surveys. Understand their fulfillment levels to keep your finger on the pulse of their well-being and adjust your leadership strategies accordingly.
The main takeaway? Fulfillment Centric Leadership™ enriches your team's engagement, boosts their productivity, improves retention, and contributes to a healthy workplace culture. Tune into Episode 212 for part two with the seven remaining steps on this transformative leadership journey.
