Myleik Teele's Podcast

Everybody wants community, but are we willing to do the work of building it?

In this episode, I'm talking about the difference between access and belonging, why showing up isn't always enough, and what it actually takes to build meaningful relationships. I'm also sharing a few practical ways to be more intentional about finding your people.

A catch-up from Cabo on making things too complicated, being seen, and why rejection is rain.

Plus: Does your life match what you say matters to you?

We live in a time where answers are everywhere, and while language can be incredibly helpful, there's a trap hiding inside all that learning.

In this episode, I'm talking about the gap between knowing and doing. Why so many smart, self-aware people can explain exactly what's holding them back and still feel stuck. Why implementation is often less about strategy and more about fear, support, visibility, identity, and consistency.

I also share the four things I think most people actually need.

-

I'd love for you to ask yourself one question:

What do I already know that I'm ready to act on?

And if the answer is, "I know what to do, but I don't want to do it alone," come join us in BYW. That's exactly why I built it.

In this episode, I respond to a listener letter about growing up with a parent who started things and didn’t finish them, and how that pattern now shows up in her marriage, her business, and her fear of burning out.

This is a conversation about self-leadership, honest accountability, and building a different relationship with time, effort, and completion.

In this episode, I’m thinking out loud about why so many of us feel stuck, especially at the start of a new year. I talk about information overload, trying to fix too many things at once, making our goals too big to sustain, and why showing up (especially in relationships) matters more than being “ready.” I also share how living by a code, asking for support, and making things smaller has changed my life. As always, take what you need and leave the rest.

This is my most honest end-of-year episode. I’m talking about what it really costs to stay open, why silence isn’t maturity, and how I’m learning to trust myself as the narrator of my own experience. I share what I’m seeing in my work, why hard work still matters, and what people are actually looking for when they say they want more. If something in your life doesn’t feel fine, this episode is an invitation to stop pretending it is.

As summer fades and fall begins, I’m sharing three tools to help you finish the year steady, clear, and grounded. This isn’t about cramming in last-minute goals or chasing copy-paste routines. It’s about stripping back to what’s essential and moving with intention.

Fall reminds us that letting go makes space for what’s next. Do the work now, so you don’t drift into chaos later.

It’s the midpoint of the year, and I’m not chasing anything. I’m choosing joy on purpose. In this seasonal episode, I’m inviting you to slow down, savor small pleasures, and say no to freezing in anyone’s emotional weather. I share my “Summer Punch Card” to help you feel even 2% more alive, offer reflections on urgency vs. presence, and tell you why some of the most powerful things I’ve built in my life happened slowly.

Also: My fall coaching books reopen mid-July. If you’ve been thinking about working with me, this is your moment.

What if making money was actually easy, even for you?
In this episode, I talk with Rachel Rodgers, author of We Should All Be Millionaires and Future Millionaire, about wealth-building, negotiating your worth, and unlearning the fear that keeps so many of us stuck. We get into internal validation, navigating failure, and why your community matters more than any connection “up.” If you’ve ever felt like you had to prove yourself to earn more, this is the episode you need.

In this episode, I’m talking about what’s really been on my mind lately.

First, we get into relationship skills—the ones many of us never learned and why so many people end relationships when things get hard. Then, a little culture check: what’s going on with Meghan Markle, brand timing, and who gets the freedom to try (and fail) publicly. And finally, a reminder we didn’t know we needed—why so many of us are starving for art, beauty, and aesthetics…and how they might just be the medicine we’ve been missing.

Are you judging yourself for not mastering things no one ever taught you? In this episode, I unpack the shame hidden in phrases like “at this big age,” and why adulthood was never meant to be a finish line. From emotional regulation to money management, we’re talking about skills—not character flaws. It’s not too late. You’re not too old. You’re just learning—and that’s powerful.

I’m giving “best self” a rest. Lately, it feels like everywhere I turn, someone is refining, optimizing, or reinventing themselves—and honestly, I’m exhausted by it. In this episode, I’m unpacking why the constant pursuit of better can turn into a never-ending loop of dissatisfaction. What if real growth isn’t about proving anything but simply allowing yourself to be present? Let’s talk about it.

You’re resting, but you’re still exhausted. Why? Because rest stops exhaustion, but recovery restores you. In this episode, I break down the key difference between rest and recovery, why burnout isn’t just about doing too much but about not replenishing enough, and how to integrate true restoration into your life. If you’ve been feeling drained no matter how much you “rest,” this is for you. Let’s talk about how to shift from just pausing to actually rebuilding your energy, clarity, and resilience.

I’m talking to Dr. Alexandra Solomonon this episode; one of my favorite voices on love and relationships. We’re talking about how our childhood shapes the way we love, why we’re drawn to certain relationship patterns, and what it really means to be relationally self-aware. Dr. Solomon breaks down emotional availability, the myths we believe about attraction, and why love isn’t something you fall into—it’s something you step into. This conversation is a must-listen if you want to approach relationships with more clarity, confidence, and intention.

Are you putting in the time or just putting off the time? In this episode, I get straight to it—breaking down how over-preparing, waiting for motivation, and romanticizing the idea of success are keeping you stuck. The work comes before the clarity, the confidence, and the results. No shortcuts, no secret formulas—just action. Let’s get to it.

Are you feeling overstimulated, on edge, or like you're barely holding on? You're not alone. In this episode, I dive into the cost of always being “on” and how to log off, reset, and reconnect with yourself. From the constant stream of bad news to the pressure of productivity, our nervous systems are overloaded. But what if the way back isn't through thinking—but feeling?

I’ll share personal stories, practical ways to rebuild trust in your body, and small shifts to help you get back online with yourself. No pressure, no perfection—just an invitation to listen to what your body has been trying to tell you.
