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.

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.

This week, I’m inviting you to lower the bar—not because you’re incapable, but because perfectionism is stalling your progress. I’m breaking down the difference between high standards and paralysis, why “good enough” matters, and how showing up honestly (even in process) is what moves you forward.

In This Episode:

Why perfectionism is fear in a Gucci belt :)

The difference between high standards and creative paralysis

What it really means to “lower the bar” without lowering your vision

How to release your work even when it’s still “working”

A new definition of progress you can actually feel good about

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.
