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.

Ep 214 Looking Back to Episode 1's Insight on Midlife Fulfillment
On episode 214 we revisit the foundation of the Midlife Fulfilled podcast with a look back at where it all started with episode 1, which amazingly is the #1 most downloaded episode of all time for the podcast!
As I take a short break to enjoy the holidays with family - and I wish the same for you - I want to share some insights from our journey together over the past three years. Whether you're discovering the podcast for the first time (welcome!) or have been with us from the beginning, here are some key takeaways from this special episode that capture the essence of our mission:
🔍 Understanding Midlife: Midlife isn't just about age – for many it begins in our 30s - depending on life events and circumstances. We experience "seasons" throughout our midlife phases. They can present challenges, but also opportunities for growth and fulfillment.
💡 Defining Fulfillment: Fulfillment isn't synonymous with happiness. While there can be some overlap, fulfillment goes deeper – it's about feeling deeply satisfied about something, and knowing your passion or talents are being fully used across different areas of your life.
🔥 Your BF to AF Journey: We all have Before Fulfilled (BF) to After Fulfilled (AF) experiences. Reflecting on these can provide clarity and motivation. Whether it's navigating career changes or personal hurdles, considering new paths can lead to profound fulfillment.
🎯 Main Takeaway: Midlife is a journey of seasons across many decades filled with multiple transitions. Embracing curiosity, understanding your values as they evolve, and viewing challenges as opportunities can steer us towards a more fulfilling life.
In episode 1, I had not yet developed the 5 key life pillars as the platform for this podcast: Health, Fitness, Career, Relationships, and Legacy. However, I laid the foundation.
If this resonates with you or could inspire someone you know, please share this journey with someone! I want to reach 3 billion people with this message. Together, we can create a worldwide movement toward a more fulfilled midlife. 🌍
