#298 How to find happiness and fulfillment in your midlife season, with Bernie Borges‪.‬ Personal Development Mastery

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.
