Bernie devoted this 'On My Mind' episode to the concept of age pride and how it relates to the 5 pillars of midlife – health, fitness, career, Relationships, and Legacy. He explored the difference between happiness and fulfillment and shared his perspective on embracing age pride across these pillars. 

Here are three key takeaways:

🔑 Age Pride: Bernie discussed the concept of age pride and encouraged listeners to view their age through the lens of the 5 key pillars of midlife – health, fitness, career, relationships, and legacy.

🔑 Fulfillment vs. Happiness: Bernie explored the distinction between fulfillment and happiness. While happiness is an emotion, fulfillment is soul-deep and associated with achievement. Fulfillment is usually immutable.

🔑 Room for Improvement: Bernie emphasized that there's room for improvement in his fulfillment in each of the 5 pillars of his life, but having age pride involves acknowledging your current state in each pillar and not being too hard on yourself.

The main takeaway from this On My Mind episode is to consider embracing age pride and assessing your fulfillment through the lens of each of the 5 pillars of midlife, for a holistic perspective on your journey.

Strive for fulfillment across health, fitness, career, relationships, and legacy, acknowledging that there's always room for growth.

Do you have age pride? Drop me a line about it. I really want to hear from you.

Bernie Borges Host Midlife Fulfilled Podcast

I started podcasting in 2013. My most recent podcast is the Midlife Fulfilled weekly podcast which launched in February 2022.

I was frustrated by a lack of fulfillment, in spite of good health, a successful career, good fitness, a healthy marriage, and overall happiness. Despite these blessings, I was lacking fulfillment.

I conducted a survey and discovered that I wasn’t alone on the journey to find more fulfillment. As an experienced podcaster, I knew that I could provide a platform to help men and women in midlife find more fulfillment and joy through a weekly podcast.
