I Thought I’d Thrive as a New Mom — Here’s What Actually Happened

I Love My Baby… and I’m So Bored Myleik Teele thought she’d thrive in new motherhood. She was organized, capable, ambitious, and great at figuring things out. But after her baby arrived, she found herself feeling something she never expected: bored. In this episode, Dr. Becky and Myleik talk honestly about the monotony of early parenting, the loss of spontaneity and identity, and the shame so many parents feel when reality doesn’t match what they imagined. Together, they explore why the newborn stage can feel especially hard for people who are used to moving fast, solving problems, and finding meaning through competence. If you’ve ever thought: - “Why am I not enjoying this more?” - “What’s wrong with me?” - “Why does this feel so repetitive and isolating?” …this conversation is for you.

EVERY SPOKEN WORD

  1. 0:00 – 1:00

    Setting the theme: the scary 2:00 AM thought—“This is boring”

    1. BE

      I'm really glad you're here. This is a show we made especially for parents and parents-to-be in those first few weeks and months after having a baby. That third trimester, that foggy newborn stage, the stretch where everything feels new and close to the surface. And each episode starts with a thought, the kind of thought that shows up at 2:00 AM, the kind of thought you don't really wanna say out loud, the kind of thought that makes you wonder, "Is something wrong with me? Am I doing this whole parenting thing right?" And today, that thought is, "This is boring." [laughs] If you've ever had that sentence run through your head, even once, I want you to know you are definitely not the only one. And when that thought shows up, it can feel scary. It can feel lonely. It can feel like there's something about you that's off or wrong for this job. In this episode, we're gonna name it, and we're gonna hear a parent's story around that thought, and we're

  2. 1:00 – 3:14

    Meet Myleik Teele + life before baby: freedom, travel, and time

    1. BE

      gonna slow the thought down enough to make it feel a little less complicated, a little more understandable. If you can, save this for a quiet moment or a hard moment or one of those middle-of-the-night moments, and think of this as a friendly voice in your ear during that time. And today, that voice belongs to Myleik Teele. Myleik is hard to describe, because she's so many things. She's an entrepreneur. She's a mentor. She's a speaker. She is a-

    2. MT

      Coach

    3. BE

      ... coach.

    4. MT

      Yes.

    5. BE

      And you are someone who's always becoming and emerging.

    6. MT

      Yes.

    7. BE

      Is that fair?

    8. MT

      Yes. Unfolding.

    9. BE

      Unfolding. And she's a major part of the GOODINSIDE community, and she's a mom of two. [gentle music] All right, Myleik, let's start pre-baby. Ready?

    10. MT

      Yeah.

    11. BE

      Who was Myleik before her first baby arrived?

    12. MT

      Oh, my gosh. Entrepreneur, traveler, girlfriend, fun times. I had a wonderful life before I became a parent-

    13. BE

      [laughs]

    14. MT

      ... and I thought, "You know what? I should... Maybe we should add some children to this wonderful life."

    15. BE

      Yeah.

    16. MT

      Yeah. That was who I was.

    17. BE

      What comes up when you think about pre-child Myleik?

    18. MT

      How free I was, how... I think how much time I had.

    19. BE

      [laughs] Yep.

    20. MT

      I had so much time before I became a parent.

    21. BE

      Did you realize it at the time?

    22. MT

      I did not-

    23. BE

      Okay. [laughs]

    24. MT

      ... realize it at the time. I didn't realize it at the time.

    25. BE

      Yeah.

    26. MT

      After I became a parent, I thought to myself, "What was I doing with all of that time?"

    27. BE

      Like a Saturday.

    28. MT

      Yeah, a Saturday, when I just woke up when I wanted to-

    29. BE

      Yeah

    30. MT

      ... did what I wanted to.

  3. 3:14 – 3:48

    The competence carryover: efficiency, preparation, and “I’m going to crush this”

    1. BE

      Um, okay. So in that pre-baby time, that pre-baby Myleik, tell me about some of the things you felt especially confident about.

    2. MT

      I felt confident that I could show up anywhere on time and prepared.

    3. BE

      Mm.

    4. MT

      I felt confident about the, the amount of time, about the things that I would need. Um, I felt confident in my ability to get things done. I was very efficient.

    5. BE

      Yeah.

    6. MT

      Um, I was really good at a lot of things-

    7. BE

      Yeah

    8. MT

      ... before I had a baby.

    9. BE

      Okay. We're gonna get there.

    10. MT

      [laughs]

  4. 3:48 – 6:20

    Optimizing motherhood: books, schedules, and a fully engineered newborn plan

    1. BE

      Tell me, did you assume, or maybe what did you assume would feel natural when you became a mom?

    2. MT

      I thought that I had learned how to do so many things on my own. So I, I was an, I'm an entrepreneur, and I thought that when I have a child-

    3. BE

      Mm-hmm

    4. MT

      ... I will apply everything that sort of has gotten me to this place to parenting, and I am going to kill this. I am going to be as good at parenting as I am at my business. I started something from nothing. I, I knew I had this.

    5. BE

      So, uh, that's really interesting. You'd already birthed something.

    6. MT

      Yes.

    7. BE

      So, so, like-

    8. MT

      Yes

    9. BE

      ... being an entrepreneur, starting a company, you started Curlbox.

    10. MT

      Yes.

    11. BE

      Very successful, like-

    12. MT

      Box

    13. BE

      ... it was in, it was, it was an idea. It was like a, it became a embryo.

    14. MT

      Yes.

    15. BE

      It became... And then you ge- you gestated on, on this.

    16. MT

      Yes, yes.

    17. BE

      And it grew.

    18. MT

      And it grew, and it did well for a long time, and I just thought, "Of course I know what I'm doing. You know, I'll get my spreadsheet. I'll get the right players in place, and I'm going to kill this."

    19. BE

      Like, the world has never seen a mom-

    20. MT

      No

    21. BE

      ... like me. [laughs]

    22. MT

      The, I'm serious. Yeah. [laughs]

    23. BE

      I'm gonna cross that.

    24. MT

      I just, I just knew I had it.

    25. BE

      Yeah. Yeah.

    26. MT

      Yeah.

    27. BE

      So kind of I assumed everything I had learned to that point-

    28. MT

      Yes

    29. BE

      ... would translate.

    30. MT

      Yeah.

  5. 6:20 – 8:46

    Reality hits (March 2018): no joy, constant monotony, and boredom

    1. BE

      Okay. So we're gonna travel to March of 2018 And I wanna hear about a moment in March of 2018, maybe it was April, May, not past May, if you don't mind.

    2. MT

      Okay.

    3. BE

      Like, somewhere really in those early moments, or let's just say any moment where you would say, "Yeah, it was not like all the things I just talked about pre-baby."

    4. MT

      I very quickly realized I am not enjoying this-

    5. BE

      Mm

    6. MT

      ... at all. I am not, even with all of the planning that I had, there just seemed to be not a drop of joy in any of it.

    7. BE

      Yeah.

    8. MT

      And it was very boring, and sometime monotonous and all of the, you know, the diapers, the... And I felt [laughs] like I just didn't e- I, I didn't expect it to feel this way. I thought it was going to feel better.

    9. BE

      Yeah.

    10. MT

      I thought that I would, like, wake every morning and just, like, pour my coffee, "Another beautiful day in motherhood."

    11. BE

      Yeah.

    12. MT

      "I got this." And it was not that.

    13. BE

      Yeah. Unenjoyable, boring.

    14. MT

      Yes.

    15. BE

      That was not in the pre-birth plan.

    16. MT

      There's no book that says, "Here's something for you when it's not enjoyable or when you feel really bored." There, there... No one ever mentioned it.

    17. BE

      Yeah. Talk about the boring, and if it's a moment or maybe it's a string of moments.

    18. MT

      Yes.

    19. BE

      What, what, what do you start picturing when you think about that word in that early time?

    20. MT

      Just when we think, when I think about my life before I had a baby, it was very exciting, and now here I am managing little bits of laundry all the time, and so I'm bored to tears with the amount of laundry I feel like I now have to do. I am bored with refilling, restocking, um, sterilizing, t- you know, trying to find all the right things that will maybe solve this problem, and I just, I was like, "I don't like this."

    21. BE

      Yeah.

    22. MT

      It, it was a string of events, and I was just, like, up and down every day, nothing exciting.

    23. BE

      Yeah.

    24. MT

      Just napping, eating, sleeping, laundry, rinse and repeat.

  6. 8:46 – 10:45

    Why boredom felt so intense: novelty-seeking meets “wash, rinse, repeat”

    1. BE

      And I'm just thinking about the rinse and repeat, and I think it sounds like, like, you like novelty.

    2. MT

      I do. I love novelty.

    3. BE

      Say more about that.

    4. MT

      Yes. I, I love going to new places. I love going to new restaurants. You know, I love things being new, and there is... I thought that motherhood would be novelty. There's this new human.

    5. BE

      Yeah.

    6. MT

      This is going to be exciting. I mean, if this isn't novelty, what is?

    7. BE

      Right.

    8. MT

      And it's not that. It wasn't that.

    9. BE

      Yeah, I don't know why this is coming to mind. This is so absurd of a association, but I'm gonna share it. I think about the person whose job before they have a baby is, like, um, 70% of my time I put stamps on envelopes.

    10. MT

      Right. Yeah.

    11. BE

      Right? Every once in a while, I'm definitely dealing with some employees who are really upset.

    12. MT

      Right.

    13. BE

      And then I go back to stamping sta-

    14. MT

      Right

    15. BE

      ... envelopes [laughs] over and over, and we might say, me and you-

    16. MT

      Right

    17. BE

      ... um, "Eh, feels like it might get a little old"-

    18. MT

      Right

    19. BE

      ... "or," right?

    20. MT

      Right.

    21. BE

      Um, and before you have a baby, if you're someone especially who knows, I... You had an exciting life.

    22. MT

      I did.

    23. BE

      A lot of novelty, this new thing.

    24. MT

      Yes.

    25. BE

      Something unexpected in, like, a fun way-

    26. MT

      Yes

    27. BE

      ... a new challenge, and-

    28. MT

      Yes

    29. BE

      ... it's so true. Babies are such a new challenge, but that's very holistic and zoomed out.

    30. MT

      Right.

  7. 10:45 – 12:44

    Shame spiral: “What’s wrong with me?” and fear of being a bad parent

    1. BE

      What, what did you do with that thought? Like, where... Like, follow it. What happened after?

    2. MT

      This is so boring, and I, I felt a little bad that I didn't enjoy it the way that I hoped that I would-

    3. BE

      Yeah

    4. MT

      ... and the way that I assumed other people did. I, when I thought that, I started to think, "Well, what's wrong with me that I'm, that this, that I'm just so bored to tears? Is there something about me-

    5. BE

      Yeah

    6. MT

      ... that could be better or different, and will I be this parent to my child forever?" Like, I'm thinking all of these things, you know? Is this, will this impact? Will they know that I don't like this?

    7. BE

      Yeah, so that, there's, there's so much there, but for s- am I the on- like, am I the only one?

    8. MT

      Right.

    9. BE

      Like, is, that parent looks happy. Like, I'm not supposed to feel this way. Good parents don't-

    10. MT

      Good parents don't feel this way

    11. BE

      They love sterilization.

    12. MT

      They [laughs]

    13. BE

      [laughs]

    14. MT

      Yeah, they do. They do. It's like, you know, we've seen the videos.

    15. BE

      Yeah.

    16. MT

      This is, this is a video of me. I wake up-

    17. BE

      [laughs]

    18. MT

      ... at 5:13, and I start my day. You know, I put the bottles over here. I do this, and I mean, they're moving arms, legs, everything, and no. I thought that that would be me-

    19. BE

      Mm

    20. MT

      ... and that I would enjoy that, or I would be doing that.

    21. BE

      Mm-hmm.

    22. MT

      But that was not my reality, and I think what made this so boring for me-

    23. BE

      [laughs]

    24. MT

      ... was not being connected with the people that I used to do things with.

    25. BE

      Ah.

    26. MT

      Not only am I bored doing this, you know, I'm up now at 3:30 AM, and there's no one to talk to, you know? Or when everybody else is sort of moving around without me, it's, I can't do anything anymore.

    27. BE

      Yeah.

    28. MT

      It feels like that.

  8. 12:44 – 14:33

    The “life pie chart” shift: novelty and connection drop while monotony surges

    1. BE

      I, I'm seeing a pie chart.

    2. MT

      Mm-hmm.

    3. BE

      I actually think, like, for anyone listening too, think about the pie chart of your life and what percentage of your life gives you connection and excitement and novelty. I, I think you might have had a higher percentage of those-

    4. MT

      I, I absolutely did

    5. BE

      ... than other people.

    6. MT

      Yes.

    7. BE

      Right?

    8. MT

      Yes.

    9. BE

      No one tells you that's almost, like, a risk factor for how things are gonna feel, right? [laughs]

    10. MT

      Now.

    11. BE

      Now.

    12. MT

      Now I know. [laughs]

    13. BE

      Okay, right. So if you think about that pie chart, you just said something that I've never thought before, which is, um, then you think about your pie chart after baby. The things that gave you novelty and excitement just go way down. You can't have them.

    14. MT

      Yes.

    15. BE

      But there's also the insertion of so many more monotonous things. It's a do- like, it's a double whammy.

    16. MT

      Yes, yes.

    17. BE

      Right?

    18. MT

      That goes down, and now I, I had s-

    19. BE

      Ugh

    20. MT

      ... I didn't have as much monotony in my life before. Very little.

    21. BE

      And you had full control, being like-

    22. MT

      Yes

    23. BE

      ... Saturday felt monotonous. I'm gonna do something very different on Sunday.

    24. MT

      Yes.

    25. BE

      Like, can you imagine? This sterilization thing isn't for me.

    26. MT

      Right.

    27. BE

      So I don't even know.

    28. MT

      Tomorrow, I don't have to worry because I won't choose to do this.

    29. BE

      Right. You, you're like, "Well, and I'm gonna have to do it."

    30. MT

      Right.

  9. 14:33 – 15:34

    (Sponsor break) Mid-afternoon depletion and small supports

    1. BE

      There's a very specific moment in the day a lot of parents hit, usually in the afternoon, where you're still going, but everything feels harder than it should. You're answering questions, making decisions, trying to stay patient, and suddenly simple things feel complicated. Like, why does choosing a snack suddenly feel like a high-stakes decision? And most of us, me included, have the tendency to just push through it, power through. But I've started to pay more attention to those in-between moments and how something as basic as hydration can actually help. And that's what I like about LMNT's sparkling electrolyte drinks. They're designed for those exact moments, not just workouts, but real life, school drop-off, the transition between soccer and coming home, that mid-afternoon dip around 4:07 PM. And it's a simple grab-and-go can, no mixing, no prep, something I can just reach for when I need a small reset for me. No sugar, no artificial ingredients, just a way to support yourself

  10. 15:34 – 17:21

    The most surprising part: you can’t “fix” this hard—parenting is staying in it

    1. BE

      a little better in the middle of a long day. If you wanna try it, LMNT is offering a free gift with any purchase. Just go to drinklmnt.com/goodinside. That's drinklmnt.com/goodinside. [gentle music] W- was there any aspect of this, and maybe it is the boring part, maybe it's how you felt about the bored, any of it, was there any aspect of it that was the most surprising?

    2. MT

      Yes. I- what was most surprising about how I felt was I did not think that someone like me could feel so sort of terrible about this. I, every time I had a challenge in my life, I felt like I have figured out a way to knock it down, I got this, and feel better quickly, pretty quickly.

    3. BE

      Yeah.

    4. MT

      And this, I just could not.

    5. BE

      Doing a good job as a new parent is not making the hard easy. It's actually just talking ourselves through staying in the hard, right? And I know, it sucks. It's so annoying-

    6. MT

      No

    7. BE

      ... that that's true.

    8. MT

      Right.

    9. BE

      Is that [laughs]

    10. MT

      It's, but the, the deep sigh is that I just, I feel like no one said that.

    11. BE

      Yeah.

    12. MT

      And if I had just... I mean, that as an approach, that would've been incredibly helpful.

    13. BE

      Yeah.

    14. MT

      Just more tolerating the hard and not pushing myself to get better or to enjoy it or to let, you know, pushing myself to enjoy it.

    15. BE

      That's right. That's right.

    16. MT

      Yeah.

  11. 17:21 – 18:21

    Feelings + self-talk: the ‘layers’ that make boredom unbearable

    1. BE

      Because I do think how we feel in a moment, and I only have this because I've zoomed out too, is, like, there's the feeling.

    2. MT

      Mm-hmm.

    3. BE

      Let's say the feeling is this is unenjoyable or this is boring, but then how we end up feeling is that feeling plus how we talk to ourselves about the feeling.

    4. MT

      Mm-hmm.

    5. BE

      Every, "I shouldn't feel this way" makes the hard feeling more. Do other parents feel this way? More, right? And we can't change the feeling.

    6. MT

      Right.

    7. BE

      But it's actually not finding it boring that's the worst feeling in a day. It's, I think it's the-

    8. MT

      Right

    9. BE

      ... the, the layers.

    10. MT

      The layers of-

    11. BE

      Right?

    12. MT

      Uh, yeah.

    13. BE

      Uh, because if it's boring... It's funny, I'm thinking about you back then. I've started some companies. I can deal with boring.

    14. MT

      Yes.

    15. BE

      [laughs] But-

    16. MT

      And I can deal with hard. I can deal with long hours.

    17. BE

      I can [laughs]

    18. MT

      These are, these are things that I've done before.

    19. BE

      But not when we think it should be different.

    20. MT

      Right.

    21. BE

      Then that, that's crushing to everyone.

    22. MT

      Right.

    23. BE

      Right?

    24. MT

      Yeah.

  12. 18:21 – 20:08

    What older Myleik would tell new-mom Myleik: stop solving, start validating

    1. BE

      You now, thinking about first-time mom Myleik, you know, what, if, if you were next to her on the couch, what- What are some of the things you'd say?

    2. MT

      If I were sitting next to first-time mom Myleik on the couch, I would probably snuggle up next to her and say, "It's okay if you aren't enjoying this. [laughs] It's okay. This is boring, and it's hard, and this is not a, this is not a time for you to try to strategize yourself out of the feeling."

    3. BE

      Mm. Like [laughs] ... The boring isn't a problem to solve?

    4. MT

      It's not a problem to solve. You can be bored, and it won't be this way forever.

    5. BE

      Yeah.

    6. MT

      Because I think that's the part that felt the hardest, is that it just seemed like I, this is, I had this fun and exciting life, and now I have this incredibly boring life that I should be excited about because I wanted this. I said I wanted this. Everyone else seems to be excited about this stage in their life.

    7. BE

      Yeah.

    8. MT

      And it won't be this way forever. You won't feel this way forever.

    9. BE

      Would you tell her [laughs] sort of, "Look, like, knowing you, it makes sense you find this stage boring"?

    10. MT

      I would say that to her, too. N- knowing you-

    11. BE

      Yeah

    12. MT

      ... and knowing how you do things-

    13. BE

      Yeah

    14. MT

      ... it makes sense that all of the sort of day-to-day monotony of this is dragging you down.

    15. BE

      Yeah.

    16. MT

      Yeah. You're just, you don't like it.

    17. BE

      Yeah. I have a question for you. Uh, uh, not looking for a specific answer.

    18. MT

      Mm-hmm.

  13. 20:08 – 23:10

    As kids grow, joy returns: feedback, independence, travel, and shorter idea-to-action gap

    1. BE

      Do you like parenthood more and more as your kids get older?

    2. MT

      Yes.

    3. BE

      Say more about that-

    4. MT

      Yes

    5. BE

      ... and how that relates to what you know about yourself as-

    6. MT

      Yes

    7. BE

      ... an individual.

    8. MT

      I, now, like, knowing what I know about myself and how I like to do things, now that my children are almost six and almost eight, and they can do more things for themselves, we can travel, and I don't have to pack every single thing every time you walk out of the door, they can hold their own things, I enjoy this stage so much more than I did when they were just not able to say anything, no feedback, no-

    9. BE

      Yeah

    10. MT

      ... like, no return on what you feel like you're giving.

    11. BE

      Yeah.

    12. MT

      You know? It's just, like, constantly putting out, and so now, yeah, now they're older. I'm like, "This is, this is cool."

    13. BE

      Yeah.

    14. MT

      I like this.

    15. BE

      And I, I do feel like it's something that's, like, so often missing. Like, I'm just being you for a second. Knowing what I know about myself, I love novelty. I love to travel. I love to do new things. All of that is actually gonna make me an amazing mom. Like, the life I'm gonna create... I have the chills.

    16. MT

      Yeah.

    17. BE

      Like, the life I'm gonna create for my kids-

    18. MT

      Yes

    19. BE

      ... they're, they're so lucky-

    20. MT

      Yeah

    21. BE

      ... to have a parent who can, like, "Yeah, let's go do that," right?

    22. MT

      Yeah.

    23. BE

      And knowing that picture, oh, first couple years, that might not really be possible, and so those years, like, might be hard, and I'm gonna be kind to myself, I'm gonna get through it, I'm gonna have joy in different moments. But, like, after that stage, ooh.

    24. MT

      Yeah.

    25. BE

      Like, that, that's gonna be my zone.

    26. MT

      Yes.

    27. BE

      Right?

    28. MT

      Yes. Yes. It was... We used to have this joke in the early days of parenting, and my partner would come in and go, "What would you be doing right now if you weren't on the couch, like, with the baby?" Like, "We'd get in Miami. Ugh, who wants that?" [laughs]

    29. BE

      [laughs] You know? Going out to a new restaurant and dancing. Ugh.

    30. MT

      Ugh. [laughs]

  14. 23:10 – 27:14

    Closing message: boredom is not a report card or a prediction about your parenting

    1. BE

      Okay, so I have a, I have a specific thing I wanna kind of land on the end. S- anyone listening, but maybe especially the parent listening who if they reflect on their decades before parenthood, they have like, "I am an efficiency person. I'm an idea into action person. Um, I, I like to go do a lot of things, and I am a good problem solver."

    2. MT

      Yeah.

    3. BE

      What do you wanna, what do you wanna say to that person listening?

    4. MT

      To the person who is listening to this podcast, who rocked so many things in their lives before being a parent, and that, I mean, led you to wanting to, to become a parent-

    5. BE

      Yeah

    6. MT

      ... because you just know you can do it.

    7. BE

      Yes.

    8. MT

      I want that person to know that not enjoying, finding themselves bored to tears by the absolute monotony of it all is okay, and not a sign that they're doing anything wrong, not a sign that they're going to not enjoy it forever, or they're, it's going to be boring forever. And if, if I could say just this one thing, is, like, please don't ... pro- feel the need to problem solve around the boredom or how you feel.

    9. BE

      Yeah.

    10. MT

      It is, it is okay.

    11. BE

      Yeah.

    12. MT

      Yeah.

    13. BE

      I- I'm just gonna mirror that. I think especially for that person, that ma- that makes perfect sense, and the only reason you'd have to feel bad about that is if you think that feeling is a report card on your parenting or predictor of your parenting.

    14. MT

      Right.

    15. BE

      And I think being on the other side, for both of us, n- this is interesting. The only thing I know for sure is it is not a report card or a future prediction.

    16. MT

      No, that is true.

    17. BE

      Yeah. If you've ever thought, "This is boring," now you have evidence. You are not the only one. And if you're listening before your baby arrives, you might have a thought like this at some point. And if you do, just keep in mind, nothing is wrong with you. It doesn't mean you don't love your baby, it doesn't mean you're ungrateful, and it doesn't mean you made a mistake. Becoming a parent changes you, and it changes the entire environment around you. And when things change so intensely, complicated and new thoughts can come with it. Your story might be different, and your hard moments might sound different. They're still real, and they count. And your hard moments and your hard thoughts do not mean anything characterological about you, and they are not a prediction about your parenting. We are all moving through this in our own homes, at our own hours, and we are not doing this alone. If you have a story that you'd be open to sharing with other parents or parents-to-be, we would love to hear from you. Please email podcast@goodinside.com. And now, let's end the way we always do. Place your feet on the ground, place a hand on your heart, and let's remind ourselves, even as we struggle on the outside, we remain good inside. That feels especially important for this episode. I'll see you soon. [outro music]
