#298 How to find happiness and fulfillment in your midlife season, with Bernie Borges.
Description
In this episode, I had the pleasure of discussing midlife fulfillment with Bernie Borges, host of the Midlife Fulfilled podcast.
We discussed the difference between happiness & fulfilment, the most common misconception about midlife, and 2 things that you can do right now to feel more fulfilled.
If you're seeking greater fulfillment in your midlife season, this conversation is definitely one you won't want to miss.
I encourage you to check out episode 66 of Bernie's “Midlife Fulfilled” podcast, where I went as a guest and opened up by discussing my “before fulfilment” to “after fulfilment” story.
