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 215 How the 80 20 Rule Guides Your Path to Midlife Fulfillment
Episode 215 is the second lookback during the 2024 holiday break, sharing insights from episode 3 of the Midlife Fulfilled podcast. We go deep into the 80/20 principle - aka The Pareto Principle - and its impact on your journey toward achieving fulfillment in midlife.
I unpack how the 80/20 rule highlights why achieving 80% fulfillment in life is not only acceptable but should be celebrated. This episode offers a blend of research, real-life examples, and even a dash of comedy with a classic Abbott and Costello clip. This episode challenges the notion that you should expect 100% fulfillment and encourages acceptance of your unique journeys through midlife.
🔍 3 Key Discussion Points:
1️⃣ Understanding the 80/20 Principle: Discover how a minority of causes or efforts lead to a significant majority of results and how this principle can apply to various aspects of your life, from career to personal fulfillment.
2️⃣ Embracing Partial Fulfillment: Learn why it's okay – and common – to achieve 80% fulfillment in different life areas, as achieving 100% is not only rare but can also be unrealistic.
3️⃣ The Role of Midlife: Realize that midlife can be the most fulfilling part of your life and that striving for 80% across your various life pursuits can lead to significant fulfillment.
Key Takeaway: The 80/20 rule isn't just a theory. And, it's not limited to use cases in economics. It's a powerful principle that can transform your view on personal achievements and fulfillment.
Tune in to gain insights that could redefine your midlife journey toward fulfillment.
