On episode 214 we revisit the foundation of the Midlife Fulfilled podcast with a look back at where it all started with episode 1, which amazingly is the #1 most downloaded episode of all time for the podcast! 

As I take a short break to enjoy the holidays with family – and I wish the same for you – I want to share some insights from our journey together over the past three years. Whether you're discovering the podcast for the first time (welcome!) or have been with us from the beginning, here are some key takeaways from this special episode that capture the essence of our mission:

🔍 Understanding Midlife: Midlife isn't just about age – for many it begins in our 30s – depending on life events and circumstances. We experience “seasons” throughout our midlife phases. They can present challenges, but also opportunities for Growth and fulfillment.

💡 Defining Fulfillment: Fulfillment isn't synonymous with happiness. While there can be some overlap, fulfillment goes deeper – it's about feeling deeply satisfied about something, and knowing your passion or talents are being fully used across different areas of your life.

🔥 Your BF to AF Journey: We all have Before Fulfilled (BF) to After Fulfilled (AF) experiences. Reflecting on these can provide Clarity and motivation. Whether it's navigating career changes or personal hurdles, considering new paths can lead to profound fulfillment.

🎯 Main Takeaway: Midlife is a journey of seasons across many decades filled with multiple transitions. Embracing curiosity, understanding your values as they evolve, and viewing challenges as opportunities can steer us towards a more fulfilling life.

In episode 1, I had not yet developed the 5 key life pillars as the platform for this podcast: Health, Fitness, Career, Relationships, and Legacy. However, I laid the foundation. 

If this resonates with you or could inspire someone you know, please share this journey with someone! I want to reach 3 billion people with this message. Together, we can create a worldwide movement toward a more fulfilled midlife. 🌍

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.
