Thank you for stopping by my website, MachelShull.com. You may be wondering who I am and what my intention is about. Easy. My purpose in writing books, teaching yoga and hosting the INSPIRED MIND PODCAST it to help you enhance your own inner wellbeing. That is what I believe in. You, myself, living our best lives and finding joy each day. It is your divine right to experience joy every day. I am here to help remind you of that.
I hope that in 2026 you take time to carve out moments of joy, simple rituals that will bring you closer to the wellspring of your own soul. Your own inner knowing of who you are, where you belong and what your inner purpose is for your journey.
I have been teaching yoga for eight years. Becoming a yoga teacher midlife has been something I never expected to be part of my journey. What’s exciting about life is when we come from a place of curiosity, amazing moments can unfold for us. We can discover new worlds, new inspiration and delve deeper into why we all have a unique purpose that only we can fill, only we can provide to our inner and outer circle of reach.
This isn’t a dress rehearsal.
We only have one life to become the person we want to be. So you say you have a career, a family and you have carved out most of your dreams. Nothing is more important than staying inspired and connected to what brings us inner drive and passion. I encourage you truly believe that you are “The Hero of Your Own Story,” just like Mary McCarthy suggested. Never underestimate the power of a determined person that has a dream or a goal that will help ignite the world.
You are this such person! I wish you well. I look forward to bringing you simple reminders, from my heart to yours about how you can boost your wellbeing through health, your soul and your thinking.
A dream first comes to us from the window of our imagination. A thought, a flicker of light, inspiring something new to us, like an inner calling only we can feel. Don’t ignore this calling. Instead, dare to dream higher and believe in that urge that inner calling that will reveal to just you, what your inner purpose is. Guess what? This is your divine destiny just waiting to be discovered, uncovered, revealed, attained…I could keep going with words, but you see, I know you get the jest of what I am conveying to you. You can feel it brimming inside your soul.
This is your year. I firmly believe EVERY year is your year. It’s up to us to create the life we wish to live and want to step into for our future self.
I remember when Matthew McConoughey won his Oscar for DALLAS BUYER’S CLUB, I don’t think I had ever been happier to see someone when the Oscar than him (except maybe Jodi Foster in THE ACCUSED!). I just re-watched that acceptance speech. It’s all about all the people he loves and thanks. Then at the end, he thanks his future self in ten years, which is his hero. He keeps on chasing that idea that Mary McCarthy suggested, that we become the hero of our own story.
I believe in that kind of thinking. That’s what I write about in all of my self-help books. That’s why I became a yoga teacher midlife. That’s why I have been podcasting for seven years. I believe that it is our gift to become all of the dreams we hold inside of our hearts.
Let’s dream together in 2026. Do your own thing and believe in the best. Remember that you are here for a specific reason that is will be a gift to many, if you choose to tap into that divine destiny that is already existing inside your soul.
God Bless you! I am here for you. Stay Kind and Have an Inspired Mind.
