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.

Episode 220 is an 'On My Mind' episode about leadership. Not the conventional meaning of leadership. In this episode I unpack how leadership isn’t about a position or a title—it’s about influence. It’s about how you show up, how you inspire others, and how you take responsibility for making a difference.
You can lead anywhere—at work, in your family, or in your community.
💡Leading At work – You don’t need to be a manager to be a leader. When you take initiative, support others, and bring a positive attitude, you’re leading.
💡 Leading At home – Families need leadership too. Whether you’re a parent, a sibling, or a relative, or a dear friend of a family, you can lead through encouragement, connection, and accountability.
💡 Leading In your community – Leadership isn’t about prestige; it’s about service. Volunteering, mentoring, or simply bringing people together—these are all acts of leadership.
As we move through the decades, our values evolve, and our self-awareness deepens. Life prepares us to lead in ways we couldn’t before. With experience and wisdom, we’re in a unique position to lead with authenticity and purpose.
My challenge to you: Where can you lead today? What opportunities to lead are right in front of you? Leadership isn’t about a title—it’s about stepping up, right where you are.
