Life Fulfilled Podcast — Because Work Shouldn’t Drain Your Life

Hosted by Bernie Borges | Founder, Fulfilled@Work Academy

Most people don’t realize it, but career struggles often bleed into every part of life: your health, relationships, energy, and sense of purpose. If you feel stuck at work, burned out, or quietly wondering, “Is this it?” you’re in the right place.

On the Life Fulfilled Podcast, Bernie Borges helps you decode where fulfillment is missing and how to get it back. While two-thirds of our episodes dive into career and workplace topics like engagement, quiet quitting, leadership, and burnout, we never lose sight of the full picture. We also explore how emerging forces like AI are reshaping the workplace and what it means for your role, your growth, and your sense of purpose.

Because fulfillment doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens across five interconnected life pillars: health, fitness, career, relationships, and legacy.

Through solo insights and expert guest conversations, Bernie brings practical tools to help you reclaim purpose and clarity, especially at work. As the creator of the Fulfillment Centric Leadership™ Framework, he equips professionals and business leaders to create meaningful, energizing careers without sacrificing the rest of their lives.

Life Fulfilled Podcast — Because Work Shouldn’t Drain Your Life

How Fitness Fuels Every Pillar of Life for Liza Marie Garcia

December 01, 2025 • Bernie Borges • Season 4 • Episode 263

Host Bernie Borges sits down with Liza Marie Garcia, a dynamic entrepreneur, publisher, marathon runner, and competitive pickleball player who brings an energetic blend of discipline, passion, and purpose to every area of her life. In this conversation, Liza Marie opens up about how fitness is far more than just a health routine; it’s a vital connector to fulfillment in her career, family, faith, and legacy.

Three Key Discussion Points:

1️⃣ Fitness as a Catalyst for Success: Liza Marie shares how a lifelong commitment to sports modeled by her marathon-running father became the foundation for her professional achievements and positive mindset. Fitness isn’t an optional activity for Liza Marie; it’s a “mission-critical” component that drives her energy, discipline, and goal-setting throughout all areas of her life.

2️⃣ The Overlap of Faith, Discipline, and Career: Faith is an ever-present force for Liza Marie. She explains that her identity as a faith-based professional isn’t compartmentalized. Her values carry through the boardroom, the pickleball court, and at home. Discipline, accountability, and grace (for herself and others) are recurring themes in her business and her athletic pursuits.

3️⃣ Embracing Failure and the Power of Resilience: From losing matches to overcoming business setbacks, Liza Marie sees “failures” as crucial steps on any successful journey. Drawing parallels between sports and life, she encourages us to value the lessons from setbacks and to be grateful for every win, big or small.

Main Takeaway:
For Liza Marie, fitness isn’t just about staying healthy. It’s about fueling every pillar of her life. Whether it’s career, relationships, faith, or legacy, her fitness routine creates momentum, joy, and resilience. As Liza Marie puts it, fitness is her “place of happiness,” a source of energy and fun that supports everything else she does.
