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.
In this episode of Messy on Purpose, Fylisha and Lee catch up on some big life updates, new ventures, and the doors opening in their lives right now.
Lee talks about his film ventures, the projects he has in the works, and his decision to keep pushing forward toward what he knows is his true calling: being a film creator. From creative ideas to real opportunities, Lee shares what it looks like to stay committed to the path even when the full picture is still unfolding.
Fylisha also shares her newest venture: getting her real estate license again and joining her husband’s commercial real estate team. She talks about stepping into a new chapter, being open to opportunities, and taking action when something aligns with where you want to go.
Together, Fylisha and Lee discuss:
Life updates and new beginnings
Lee’s film ventures and creative calling
Fylisha’s move into commercial real estate
Why opportunities are often closer than we think
Being open to change and new directions
Taking action instead of waiting for life to happen
This episode is a reminder that opportunities are out there—but you have to be willing to see them, say yes to them, and actually move.
Because the life you want usually doesn’t show up fully built.
It starts with one decision, one open door, and the courage to walk through it.

The Weekly WTF #17: 🙄 “Must Be Nice” Is Not a Compliment
On this episode of The Weekly WTF, Fylisha and Lee are talking about one of the most backhanded phrases people love to throw around: “must be nice.”
Because let’s be honest… in almost no context does “must be nice” actually come off well.
Someone builds a business?“Must be nice.”
Someone improves their life?“Must be nice.”
Someone has a healthy relationship, a good career, a supportive family, discipline, confidence, or opportunities they worked for?“Must be nice.”
But the problem is, you usually have no idea what someone went through to get where they are. You don’t see the sacrifices, the failures, the late nights, the hard conversations, the setbacks, the healing, the discipline, or the work it took to build that life.
This episode is about envy, jealousy, personal responsibility, and why discrediting someone else’s success does not move you any closer to your own.
Nothing in life is truly free. And even the small percentage of people who are handed something still have to work to keep it.
Stop saying “must be nice” like success just magically appeared.
Do the work. Build your life. And stop being bitter because someone else built theirs.

#102: 😵💫 “I’m Fine” Is Usually a Lie
In this episode of Messy on Purpose, Fylisha and Lee talk about one of the most common lies we tell ourselves and everyone around us:
“I’m fine.”
Sometimes we say it because we don’t want to inconvenience someone. Sometimes we say it because we don’t want to upset anyone, start a hard conversation, admit what we’re really feeling, or face the thing we already know we need to do.
But “I’m fine” can quickly become a defense mechanism. It can stop conversations, avoid vulnerability, keep us stuck in self-pity, and let us numb our way through life instead of actually dealing with what’s going on.
Fylisha and Lee also talk about the other side of it—how often we accept “I’m fine” from people we care about instead of digging a little deeper.
They discuss:
Why “I’m fine” is usually hiding something deeper
How we use it to avoid hard conversations
The difference between processing emotions and staying stuck
Why numbing your life is not the same as healing
How to be honest without making yourself a burden
Why people who care should be willing to ask again
This episode is a reminder that bad feelings are not something you have to avoid forever.
Talk it out.Find solutions.Be honest about what you need.
And when someone you love says they’re fine, don’t be afraid to care enough to ask one more question.
Because “I’m fine” might end the conversation…but the truth is usually where healing begins.
