The Midlife Fulfilled Podcast is your weekly guide to a more fulfilling life. Host Bernie Borges shares his journey and the journey of others in midlife who found joy and success by embracing fulfillment.

Through surveys and personal experience, Bernie discovered that the majority of midlife men and women feel unfulfilled, despite having healthy relationships, successful careers, and overall happiness.

Inspiring guests share their BF (before fulfillment) to AF (after fulfillment) stories. Midlife Maximum episodes feature experts who educate listeners on topics spanning career, fitness, health, relationships, and legacy.

Ep. 5 The Rise of a Digital Marketer: Transforming Adversity into a New Career Opportunity

Midlife Fulfilled Podcast

03/14/22 • 28 min

In episode 5 you'll meet Jeff Revilla. He dreamed of owning his own skateboard manufacturing business in the eighth grade. He even wrote a paper on it.
Jeff achieved his dream as a young adult. His skateboard business was growing with international distribution. But, after eight years, he lost his business within a span of six months.
His family's health challenges required his attention. He was fulfilled in his family life but he still lacked fulfillment in another area of his life - his creator side.
That's because Jeff is a creator...
Listen to my conversation with Jeff to discover how he came to realize that he was in a BF season (before fulfillment) after the disappointment of losing his business and how he found it in a new AF season (after fulfillment).

Ep. 1 Finding Fulfillment and Happiness: A Podcast to Guide Your Midlife Journey

Midlife Fulfilled Podcast

02/14/22 • 24 min

Hello midlifers. Welcome to the journey. This is episode 1 of The Midlife Fulfilled podcast. If you haven’t listened to the introduction episode, I suggest you stop now and listen to that first.
On this episode I focus on two topics:

I define midlife. When I sent out my survey, this was the most common question I received - how do you define midlife?
I define and discuss what it means to be fulfilled.

Links to Articles Mentioned on This Episode
The Happiness U Curve is from a study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.

A national survey of Midlife in the United States conducted a poll to determine how many people experience midlife crises. It found that approximately 26% of the participants reported having a midlife crisis. Most survey participants reported that their midlife crisis occurred before age 40 or after 50.

A 2016 study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Development found an upside to the midlife crisis—curiosity.
A study from Stanford University titled The New Map of Life suggests that the average life span is on its way to 100.
My podcast interview with Howard Tiersky, a highly acclaimed digital transformation strategist. Howard says that all customers' behavior is based on their thoughts and feelings.

Midlife Fulfilled Podcast

03/07/22 • 24 min

In episode four you'll meet Karin Freeland. You'll hear her describe how she was in a toxic corporate job. She felt guilty for not feeling fulfilled despite the fact she and her husband had two healthy children, a nice home, a nice car, and plenty of spending money.
Karin knew she was meant for more. But, she didn't know what. She asked others. But, no one had the answer she was looking for.
Until a co-worker asked her a question that only she could answer. Once she realized the answer was deep within her own soul, she was free to chase her dream.
She chased it and got it. Wait until you hear how she achieved her dream!

Ep. 0 Midlife Fulfilled Podcast Introduction Episode

Midlife Fulfilled Podcast

02/14/22 • 11 min

The Midlife Fulfilled podcast is for men and women in their midlife season who are looking for fulfillment in specific areas of their life such as physical health, mental health, fitness, career, financial security, marriage, family, other relationships and more.

Each week I curate content on a specific topic, reviewing the facts with you and providing my insights on their significance to your midlife fulfillment.

Each episode also features a BF (before fulfillment) to AF (after fulfillment) idea to help inspire you to take action toward more fulfillment in your life.

I’m not a doctor or therapist. I’m a curator with something to say. On each episode, I will share information I’ve curated from credible sources on the topic of each episode. I’ll also offer my thoughts on the information I’ve curated.

I truly believe that midlife can be the best season of our life. I invite you to join me on this journey by subscribing to this podcast. Look in your podcast player and press the subscribe button.

If you know other midlifers who would enjoy this podcast, please share it with them using the links further below.

What I want you to do now - after you listen to the introductory episode - is to listen to the first episode where I kick off this journey with a discussion of what it means to be in midlife. And, what it means to be fulfilled.

Let’s get this journey started midlifers...

Ep. 7 The Competitive Skydiver's Journey: From Divorce to New Career and Author

Midlife Fulfilled Podcast

03/28/22 • 25 min

Brian started jumping out of airplanes at age 19 in the Army. He pursued skydiving as a devoted hobby. He began competing in skydiving in a four person team. After four years of competing, winning two bronze and silver medals but not achieving the elusive gold medal, he took a break from skydiving.

In the meantime, he went through a divorce and hit a season of challenges in his personal life and career. Vocationally, he was a web developer early in his career. Brian's career achievements accelerated after reading Joe Pulizzi’s Epic Content Marketing. He pitched himself to his VP of Marketing to commit to content marketing under his leadership and the results he achieved proved him right. He got remarried. His blended family of six kids between him and his wife is a huge blessing. He began to teach skydiving, which brings him a significant level of fulfillment.
Brian turned to what brings him passion to find fulfillment above and beyond the blessings of his family life, which in his case is teaching others to skydive. Listen to Brian's BF to AF story to get your own inspiration in whatever midlife season you're in.

Ep. 2 Survey Finds 5 Surprising Desires for Fulfillment in Midlife Journey

Midlife Fulfilled Podcast

02/21/22 • 31 min

Hello midlifers. Welcome to episode two of The Midlife Fulfilled podcast.
In episode one I covered two topics:

I defined midlife.
I defined what it means to be fulfilled.

In episode one, I also shared my first BF to AF experience. Don't remember what BF to AF is? It's an experience that covers "before fulfillment" to "after fulfillment" and its impact on my life.
In episode two you're going to discover the results of a midlife survey I sent out, the findings of which validate my hunch that I am not alone on the journey to find fulfillment in certain areas of my life.
You'll discover that nearly 78% of respondents report they are fulfilled in some , but not all areas of their life, about 19% are very fulfilled and about 3% are not fulfilled at all.

In episode three I'll explain why the Pareto Principle has significance to us in our midlife seasons and why you should care.
Starting with episode four, I'll be featuring interviews with people who are joining me to share their BF to AF experience.
