In this episode we sit down with Bernie Borges, an experienced podcaster and entrepreneur with a passion for helping people discover fulfillment in their midlife years. After an impressive career in B2B sales and marketing, Bernie recognized that despite his professional success, something was missing. This revelation led him to launch the Midlife Fulfilled Podcast in 2022, where he tackles the often-overlooked topic of finding satisfaction and purpose during midlife.
The Midlife Fulfilled is more than a podcast. It’s Bernie Borges’s mission, where he helps others navigate the ups and downs of midlife. Through nearly 500 episodes, Bernie delves deep into the complexities of midlife, dispelling myths around midlife crises, and reframing this period as an opportunity for growth. He shares his own experiences and highlights stories of guests who have found their calling later in life, proving that midlife isn’t a time for decline but rather a moment for transformation.
Bernie emphasizes that fulfillment in midlife doesn’t come from chasing success or material achievements. Instead, it’s about discovering a deeper sense of purpose, nurturing relationships, and staying curious about what’s possible in the second half of life. His message resonates with anyone looking to redefine their journey, showing that midlife can be the most fulfilling phase when approached with intention and openness.
This conversation is perfect for anyone who feels unfulfilled or stuck in any point of their lives. Bernie’s story offers hope and practical advice on how to turn this phase into one of the most rewarding chapters of one’s journey.
