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 239 Own Your LANE: A Plan for Strategic Visibility & Authority
In this episode, host Bernie Borges is joined once again by visibility and branding expert Michelle B. Griffin, who last appeared on episode 106. Since then, Michelle has evolved her signature message—“visibility is not vanity, it’s value”—into a powerful new framework she calls “Own Your Lane.” Michelle breaks down the LANE framework, which guides individuals and organizations to gain clarity on their unique strengths, elevate their authority, and bring real value to others by confidently “putting yourself out there.”
🗝️ 3 Key Takeaways:
1️⃣ Visibility is Value, NOT Vanity: Putting yourself out there (PYOT) isn’t about self-promotion; it’s about sharing your unique expertise and perspective so others can benefit. If you keep it hidden, someone else loses out.
2️⃣ OWN Your Unique Lane: Michelle's LANE model—Launch your vision, Articulate your edge, Nurture your brand, Elevate your authority—applies at any career stage, whether you’re in transition, leading a team, or building a legacy.
3️⃣ Mindset + Action = Impact: Developing a daily mindset practice (affirmations, prayer, reminders) strengthens confidence, but nothing replaces action. Document your vision, create a plan, and start sharing your story NOW—not "someday."
Main takeaway: You don’t have to wait for the perfect moment or title. Your experience, skills, and story are needed today. Embrace visibility with intention and purpose because your voice brings value to the world.
