About this listen

What if money isn’t just something you manage, but a game you were never taught to win? Fun Money is the podcast for ambitious women who want more than just business success. Whether you’ve built a profitable company and feel secretly boxed in… or you’re wildly creative but still under-earning… this is where we stop playing by outdated rules and start building wealth that makes you even more of who you are. Hosted by Jessica McKinley Uyeno, Fun Money is your playbook for full-spectrum wealth: six distinct games - earning, spending, saving, investing, having, and giving - that aren’t about perfection, but flow. It’s about shifting from possibility to inevitability, learning to get a dopamine hit from saving as much as spending, and letting your business fund the bold, interesting life you’re meant to lead. Each week, Jess blends strategy with self-expression to help you unlearn tired money thinking, embrace “unhinged” beliefs, and become the Monopoly banker of your own life. Trigger warning: This is a next-level money conversation, taking you to a place that might feel uncomfortable. Expect powerful solo riffs, practical frameworks, and unfiltered conversations with the most interesting women in business… because the most lucrative path is usually the one that breaks the rules.© SINCERELY, FUTURE YOU | 2025 Economics Leadership Management & Leadership Social Sciences

  • 31. The Smart + Stupid Moves I Made From $5K-$80K Months
    Feb 19 2026

    If you’ve ever wondered what was actually happening behind the scenes at different income levels, this one’s for you. I’m walking you through the real money moves I made as my business grew from $5K months to $80K months, across all six money games.

    In this episode, I’m not giving you a formula to copy. I’m giving you context. Some of the decisions I made were smart. Some were scrappy. Some worked beautifully. Some only made sense in hindsight.

    From bartering and building a business reserve to aging my money, automating investments, tripling my prices, and shifting toward net worth and giving goals, I’m sharing what was actually going on in each phase.

  • 30. 4 Daily Money Habit Swaps
    Feb 12 2026

    Have you ever spent time really close to someone and suddenly noticed all the tiny habits that make up their “normal”? Money works the same way. Most of the difference between one level of wealth and the next isn’t dramatic or flashy. It’s hidden in the small, everyday money habits we repeat without thinking.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down four daily money habit swaps that I’ve personally normalized and that I see consistently in people who build wealth with more clarity, intention, and confidence.

    If you want your relationship with money to feel clearer and more deliberate without waiting for some big financial moment, this episode will show you exactly where to focus. Small changes, practiced daily, are what compound into entirely different financial lives.

  • 29. 3 Traps To Avoid When You Start To Make Lots of Money
    Feb 5 2026

    If you’re starting to make more money and noticing that new questions are popping up alongside it, this episode is for you. There’s a phase of wealth where inflows begin to outpace outflows, and if you’re not intentional, it’s easy to get distracted from what actually matters. This is the part of the money journey where being smart with money requires a different level of awareness.

    In this episode, I break down three common traps that show up as income grows. These traps don’t mean you’re irresponsible. They mean you haven’t yet adjusted how you steward abundance.

    This conversation is about becoming more intentional as your money grows. Fun money is about staying connected to your priorities, making conscious decisions, and using money as a tool to support your most interesting life, not distract you from it.
