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 245 DEI Transforms into a Culture of Belonging, Community, and Fulfillment
This week Bernie welcomes Kevin Bradley, VP of Culture and Belonging at HUB International, for an eye-opening conversation about the evolution of belonging in the workplace, and how these shifts can deeply influence our personal fulfillment journeys.
Here are three key discussion points from our conversation:
1️⃣ Redefining Culture and Belonging: We explored how belonging at work isn’t just a “nice-to-have,” but an intentional focus on creating inclusive cultures where every individual feels they matter. It’s more than just a list of policies or DEI acronyms—it’s the actions that foster authentic connection.
2️⃣ The Importance of Internal Community: We dug into the distinction between “culture” and “community” within an organization. True community-building starts internally, with strong cultures that naturally lead to external impact and good corporate citizenship.
3️⃣ Work-Life Harmony Over Balance: We discussed the shift from striving for elusive “work-life balance” to seeking “work-life harmony.” Harmony means giving ourselves grace to adjust priorities—sometimes work, sometimes family—so our pillars of health, relationships, and legacy can coexist in real life.
Main takeaway: Fulfillment comes from creating environments at work and beyond, where people truly belong, can bring their whole selves, and impact one another for the better.
