Messy on Purpose
Messy on Purpose is where we talk about the parts no one posts—the real, uncomfortable moments that actually shape who we are. Hosted by Fylisha, with Lee joining as producer and co-host, Messy on Purpose is a mix of raw co-host conversations, guest interviews, and global perspectives. This podcast is about ownership, awareness, and choosing growth without pretending life is perfect. We all have a mess. What matters is how we face it. Let’s be messy. Let’s be real. Let’s grow—on purpose.
