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?”
Relationship Skills You Never Learned but Desperately Need
This week, we're featuring Adele Currin, a relationship and communication coach, for a transformative conversation about the real skills we need for thriving, fulfilling relationships. Adele opens up about her own journey through the ups and downs of marriage, and how those experiences inspired her to help others navigate their own relationship challenges.
🗝️ Three key takeaways:
1️⃣ Emotional Regulation is Foundational: Learning how to identify, sit with, and manage our emotions is the first step to healthier interactions. Without emotional regulation, issues like resentment and anger can quickly build a wall between partners.
2️⃣ Personal Responsibility Changes Everything: Adele emphasized the importance of looking inward—not just at what the other person is doing “wrong,” but at our own habits, reactions, and opportunities for growth. Taking ownership is a skill that can transform relationship dynamics.
3️⃣ Communication is Multifaceted: It’s more than just speaking your mind. True communication means listening with empathy, expressing your needs clearly and without blame, and checking for understanding. Developing these habits (not just learning the concepts!) is key to real change.
Main takeaway: Mastering relationships requires the same commitment to practice and skill-building as any area of life. With focused effort on emotional maturity, responsibility, and communication, we can create stronger, more resilient partnerships.
