Moments like ROCKY BALBOA-Yes, the Movie! Ch. 11-MIDDLE AGE BEAUTY by Machel Shull-Simon & Schuster
Moments like ROCKY BALBOA-Yes, the Movie! Ch. 11-MIDDLE AGE BEAUTY by Machel Shull-Simon & Schuster. Host of INSPIRED MIND PODCAST, Machel Shull is also a wellbeing author. Her first two wellbeing books, LIVE LOVE SOUL and MIDDLE AGE BEAUTY were picked up by Simon and Schuster in the summer of 2025. In this summer of 2026, Machel (Ma-shel) is reading her first book, MIDDLE AGE BEAUTY free as a gift from her heart to yours. This episode, #445 is Chapter 11 from MIDDLE AGE BEAUTY, encouraging readers, listeners to create GLORY MOMENTS like the fictional prizefighter, Rocky Balboa, creating a more meaningful and joyful week by infusing three glorious moments onto your must-do-list. Dear Listener, It's been quite a journey reading to you from my first book MIDDLE AGE BEAUTY. I am only on chapter 11. We have 24 chapters more to go. In this newest podcast, I share my inspiration from a fictional movie created by SYLVESTER STALLONE, one of my heroes. I remember candidly watching his moving as a young girl, living back on a farm in rural Southern Missouri. I remember feeling so small in the dark theater as those famous trumpets roared. I felt my heart leap out of my chest and I sat forward to gain a little momentum myself as he neared the final step. Then, that famous legendary moment happened: Rocky through is arms up in the air as the sun was rising over the streets of Philadelphia. Some moments we never forget. They stay with us, leaving an indelible imprint on our soul, just like this movie did for me and millions of other people around the world. When the Rocky Movie Series finally came to a close, the revenue generated over one billion dollars around the world. Now why was that? Why did these movies about an underdog prizefighter sweep not only a nation but had a lasting an international impact as well? One word. It's the name of this podcast. The world had become INSPIRED by one man's quest to win and defeat the odds in his own world, including mentally, physically and spiritually. I always thought Stallone should've one the Oscar for his performance.Thank you for being here with me, dearest listener. I am grateful for you. I feel you in the dark. I feel your spirit rising. I pray for you. I want you to find everlasting happiness and joy each day, and most of all finding that inspiration that springs forth like a well from your own soul. Stay kind and have an inspired mind, Machel Shull

In this newest podcast, discover the Power of Enthusiasm. How can enthusiasm change your everyday life? Discover five life-improving-effects from practicing and feeling the power of enthusiasm rise from your soul.*What feel-good-hormone is released in your brain when you feel enthusiastic? Find out in #434 PODCAST from the INSPIRED MIND. DEAR LISTENER, Thank you for being here with me at INSPIRED MIND PODCAST. This podcast is a gentle reminder from my heart to yours about the power of joy, inner happiness, health and simple acts of self-care that can drastically improve our lives by taking subtle measures each day to feel better and to LIVE BETTER. Six years ago, I began this podcast on a whim to share my love of joy and happiness that we can all derive from simple things, little moments and rituals we create each day. At that time, I had four pets, two dogs and two cats. Each morning when I would arise, I would say to them, "Sunshine Club," and they would all run down the staircase of my little condo in Cardiff by the Sea and wait by the sliding glass door to go outside and sit in the sun with me. I had arranged two wooden planks with green cushions for my pets and myself to enjoy. The sun would rise above us and we would linger for as long as we could before I was off to my marketing job. So began the beginning of this podcast, INSPIRED MIND. You may be wondering, 'Who am I?' I am a person just like you that is walking upright on this earth, striving for joy each day. My expertise lies in my yoga teaching, understanding the power of breathing, flexibility and the importance of our inner wellbeing. I started over 25 years ago my search in 'What determines happiness?' "How can I be happy each day?' From reading many books, to finding inspiration from mentors and teachers along the way, I have also written wellbeing books to help ground you and inspired you to uncover 'Happiness in the midst of your daily life.' INSPIRED MIND podcast streams around the world in over 100 countries to over 10,000 individuals. In 2025 and 2025, FEEDSPOT named INSPIRED MIND in the top #10 in Most Inspiring and for Meditation in all of California. Thank you!I am always honored to be connected to you in spirit here at the podcast. I may not know you but I Love you and am so grateful to feel your presence around the globe.

This summer she is being a 'constant reader,' by reading THE STAND, REVIVAL and now NEEDFUL THINGS by legendary gifted author of suspense and horror and the human psyche. In NEEDFUL THINGS, a mysterious man named Leland Gaunt opens a shop called NEEDFUL THINGS. Everyone that buys something there must pay a small price along with the dollar amount by playing a prank on another resident in town. Chaos ensues. Lives are shattered. People lose hope. It's up to the sheriff to unveil the why all of this is happening in Castle Rock?In this podcast, what life lessons can be gleamed from reading this book? How does "Art imitate real life?" And if you think truth is stranger than fiction you have never read a Stephen King book. Dearest Listener, Thanks for tuning into the INSPIRED MIND podcast. I am an avid reader of all genres, including Stephen King books. While some think we should only focus on the light, it's important to understand where the darkness may lie and reading fiction books can reveal key aspects of the human spirit that you might have missed. If 'art imitates life,' just like Oscar Wilde suggested, how can we learn from what we read? What are the secret golden nuggets to be had inside the pages of any fiction book you read? Also, fid out real fast why playing a prank on another human being could lead to disaster.
